What if I told you that I have beat Jim Cramer to a stock not once, but six times over the last 8 months?

Whether you like Cramer or not, a lot of people watch him and he has the power to move, I mean really move, a stock.

It’s not uncommon for a stock to pop 5%, 10%, even 20% or more the morning after a Cramer Mad Money broadcast.

How great it is to be holding a stock and have it pop 10% and then you sell it (or cover the short) right as all those Cramer watchers are jumping in.

Being in a stock before Cramer hypes (or bashes) it is practically guaranteed money in the bank.

So what is the latest stock I beat Cramer to?

The recommended SHORT of Garmin (GRMN).

From a fundamental analysis, all of the new “smart phones” can do what a standalone, turn-by-turn GPS system can do, for FREE.

For example, the Apple iPhone has a free navigational application in the App Store and the Google phones have turn-by-turn GPS voice as a standard feature using Google Maps.

So why would anyone pay $150, $200, or even $300 to Garmin to have one of their systems?

From a technical analysis perspective, three months ago, my stock screener gave a SHORT recommendation on Garmin (GRMN). Check it out in the video below and learn where one key technical indicator is at a tipping point.

Last Wednesday, January 27th, 2010, after spending millions of dollars hyping Apple’s iPad, Steve Jobs walked out onstage and came clean with exactly what the iPad can do.

The iPad was a disappointment. It did not live up to the hype. There’s so no app for that.

Sure the iPad will sell, but not like the iPhone.

Also Steve Jobs is doing something behind the scenes that most analysts missed. He wants Apple to earn recurring revenues.

Remember how AT&T subsidized the iPhone? Well Apple gets a slice of the pie from every AT&T customer that has an iPhone, every month when they pay their phone bill.

This is the ultimate goal of many companies – to have millions of people paying a small amount of money every month for using a service.

Steve Jobs is smart, real smart. He’s moving Apple to a recurring revenue base company.

Now let’s take a look at Apple’s stock.

In the short video below, you will learn about some key price levels to watch that will make the difference in this market. If you have a few minutes, you need to take the time to watch this video and to learn what I think this stock will do in the next 2 months.

The major bull offense that began in March 2009 has officially been halted with today’s market action.

Notice that the yellow line on the Nasdaq, which is the 50 day MA, has now become resistance over the last 4 days. The 50 day MA has been acting as support since March 2009. In fact, the 50 day MA line was tested and held as support on: April 1 2009, May 26 2009, June 23 2009, July 7th – 10th 2009, September 3rd 2009, October 2nd 2009, October 28th – November 4th 2009 (where it was barely broke but regained quickly), November 27th 2009, December 9th 2009, and December 17th 2009.

But things get worse. A key trend line on the Nasdaq has also been broke.

In the short video below, I will show you this very important trend line and what the ramifications are for the Nasdaq. The video will also give you some downside targets and where you should consider using hit and run tactics on the long side.

My friend Adam just got back from Australia where he had his daughter’s wedding.

When Adam got back, he was shocked by a terrifying development in candlestick analysis on the Dow.

All the major indices are in what traders call “thin air”. This means that they have exceeded their Fibonacci retracement levels and are due for a pullback.

In the short video below, Adam will also tell you the specific number to look for in February. Should this level be broken, then it will signal a major reversal to the downside for the Dow.

Most traders try to use candlestick charting for about 4 weeks but then give up using it because they can’t make it work for them. Even fewer traders know the real reason behind why this tool has become so popular.

Watch Now!

In this complimentary video above, “Advanced Applications of Candlestick Charting,” authors, software programmers, and co-founders of the International Pacific Trading Company, Gary Wagner & Brad Matheny will walk you through:

-History of candlestick charting
-How to interpret candlesticks
-How to merge techniques of Eastern & Western technical analysis together
-How to merge candlestick techniques with your current trading plan
-And more…

You’ll watch and listen as Wagner explains the importance of using this strategy. He says, in part, “Candlestick patterns are a mathematical formula which illustrate the psychological market sentiment. In other words, as a market reverses, or a market is moving in an up-trend, there are certain traits that can be distilled in terms of mathematical formulas that will reveal some very important information.”

This 100 minute complimentary video can be found on Trend TV. You don’t have to worry about watching the whole video at once. After you have a password, you can revisit anytime to watch the rest of a video, review a video, or watch other videos on Trend TV.

Gold traders are messed up right now. Gold makes a record high, then plunges to shake out the chase gold amateurs.

The silver market seems a little safer and less likely for traders to take profits the day after you buy. Silver is inching towards an all-time high level and platinum, well, platinum is always jacked up.

In the video below, my bud Brad with Market Club is back to analyze the gold, silver, and platinum markets.

The video below cracked me up when Brad first performs technical analysis on gold and he sees the conflicting technicals and then says, “Well… you have to decide to do what is best for you.” Right on Brad. Nice to cover that just in case someone thinks about deciding what is NOT in their best interest.

Brad’s comment really touches on the difficulty of reading gold right now. If you want a little more guidance on where gold is likely headed, check out the U.S. dollar chart.
