If you have been struggling with your trading the past few months with most of your stocks losing value as the broad market continues to make new highs, you are not alone. There is a common reason why your individual stocks have been up so hard the past two months and I will tell you why in the next educational trading video I send you next week.
In the mean time subscribers of TheGoldAndOilGuy Newsletter pocketed 6.3% on our EDV bond ETF last week. We still hold a core position but the easy money in that asset class has now been made.

I just posted a timely article talking about how the market leaders (groups/sectors) which lead the stock market higher have been met with strong selling. All of March we saw some distribution selling but the past few weeks it is clear that the big guys are unloading massive amounts of shares to the general public as they no longer want to hold this growth and momentum stocks.
This is of great concern to me and anyone long stocks in their portfolio need to read my article about this.

ETF Trading Newsletter: In early February I started watching the CORN ETF very closely for a possible new bull market starting and a long entry point. Many of the other commodities had already posted strong rallies while corn sat on the side lines.
The Corn ETF is designed to follow the price of the continuous corn futures contracts. This commodity looked as though it was forming a base (launch pad) for the new rally and possible major bull market to start.
This post walks you through each step of the way from entering the Corn ETF trade, adding to a winning position, tightening our stops, locking in partial profits at our first price target etc.. In fact myself and subscribers are still long the Corn ETF as of today with my ETF trading newsletter.

ETF Trading Newsletter – CORN ALERT #1
We have been watching the commodities index rally for a few weeks now with natural gas, coffee, sugar, gold, silver and several others jump in price. We have been watching the GCC ETF which is a basket of several commodities to get a feel for the commodities market as a whole.
While most of the commodities have posted some solid gains, CORN has yet to pop in price. Corn looks to be forming a stage 1 basing pattern and the volume/money flowing into this fund suggest new money is moving into corn because it looks as though it will be the last to pop and rally in price.
This is similar to how we entered the silver trade a few weeks back. Everything else in the precious metals sector popped and silver lagged giving us a high probability setup.
Both the short and long term the charts of corn look bullish. As usual I will lock in some gains if we get a pop in the commodity, then let the balance ride with a break even stop. If corn is entering a new bull market phase (Stage 2) I want to hold some long term. There is potential for a 19%-30% rise in value.
Corn Trade Information:
Buy CORN etf, Stop $29.90, Downside Risk 6%, Portfolio Size 6%

ETF Trading Newsletter – CORN ALERT #2
New CORN Trade Order Pending
During the past couple weeks we have seen the CORN ETF trade sideways with fading volume. Recently we have seen a couple strong buying days in CORN which I call GET-READY spikes. These typically indicate some big money (insiders) are accumulating a position ahead of good news.
We are currently long CORN already and in the money, which is why I like this second setup even more. Because we already have a profit buffer, making the risk here is lower than normal. If you have ready some of the market wizard books you will also pickup on how the most successful traders pyramid up (average up) in winning trades.
My Plan Of Attack: I only want to buy on strength here focusing on entering the trade once is breaks a previous pivot high which in this case is: $34.06
Trade Setup:
Place a Buy-Stop order at $34.06, GTC (Good Till Canceled), 8% of portfolio position size
This type of order will enter you into the trade if price rallies and breaks that price point so you do not need to sit around and watch the charts. If you do not know this type of order just Google it only or call your broker. It is a very simple and basic order type.

ETF Trading Newsletter – CORN ALERT #3
CORN Position Added
This afternoon our CORN trade order was executed. Yesterday we set a Buy-Stop order so we get entered the commodity if price starts to breakout to the upside. These types of order are just like a stop order in respect that you just enter it and the market and broker do all the work after that.
This is why trading with a plan/strategy is much easier and less stressful. If you have a plan, do the leg work and execute it, things do not seem difficult or stressful. Problem is most traders don’t have a plan and even if they do, most times they don’t follow it. The result is a confused, stressed out trader/investor second guessing their every move.
I have updated the portfolio in the member’s area so you can review positions and protective stops.

CORN Position Adjustment – Locking in Gains
CORN has been moving in our favor for about a month now. Today’s pop in price has reached my short term measured move using fibonacci extensions and I feel it is time to lock in some gains and move our protective stop to breakeven.
We entered this position twice and your average price per share should be around $32.96.
I am moving my stop to breakeven and selling half of my position today. Current price is $35.10, as we are up 6.5%.

The bitter truth about what may happen to gold is not all that exciting and likely don’t want to know, but you need to understand what is unfolding as we speak…
Long story short, the prices of bonds look as though they are about to rally once again. Mounting fears of a stock market correction has money flowing into bonds which in turn will drive interest yields lower yet gain. But the BIG PICTURE of what he FED said the other week about how they plan to raise rates in 2015 and cut QE down to $55 billion per month hurts the long term outlook for gold.
This news may not sound that important, it actually is and undermines the price of miners, silver and gold in a big way.
Find out why gold is falling and the threat that could trigger a much larger meltdown in the long run with my gold forecast video.
