 Everyone and welcome, my name is Melissa Armand, I am the Stock Swoosh. So, so far this year, the beginning of 2022 has started out as a bearish year for the market. It doesn't mean we've changed trend, we haven't. The market has been in an uptrend all of 2021 into 2022, we're still in an uptrend. All right, just to be clear on that. However, we have had some nice, nice big red selling days in the last two weeks to start out the calendar year of 2022. I said in a video earlier this past week that I thought this year would hold the uptrend or if we broke the uptrend this year wouldn't last long but that we'd hold the uptrend but we have volatile weeks and volatile days. That is playing out to be true, what I anticipated. In other words, last year was a very bullish year. You could have gone long many things last year, strong and weak and made money. This year you're going to have to know what to do if you want to make money trading. Now that being said, we had a very, very, very good start to the year of 2022. Why? One, the moves were there. The volatility was there, the moves were there. We had big moves to capture in the trades. Two, I got the calls, I had the right calls. We've had absolutely no losers in the day trading room at all so far this year in 2022. Three, I've been very focused and since I'm the one that looks everything and does the analyzing and does all the ratings for the newsletter, for the trading room, I've been focused, I've been on point. And four, I've read the market very well this year so far for 2022. So many times when I'm calling trades, whether they're day trades or options, I'm reading the market, I'm assessing the market, whether we're gonna do something, whether we're gonna go long, whether we're gonna short, whether we're gonna get in, whether we're gonna get out, whether we're gonna halt. And I'm very good at rating the market. I will say that I don't get the market right all the time. I absolutely do not. However, I get the market right a lot more than any single person I've ever met or ever know. The reason is because of the way that I look at gaps and analyze gaps. So I've read the market absolutely perfectly, perfectly since the start of 2022. I really need to continue to stay focused. Now I'm taking a three-day week and the market is closed on Monday for Martin Luther King Day. It is a federal holiday. But when you're doing great and you're absolutely perfect, which I've been lately, I could not have done any better than I've done lately. It's important to stay focused. You can never, never, never take anything for granted. Every day I get up and I do the work. Every day I get up and I do the ratings. That is the system that I taught myself that I created myself and that I teach people in the class. You can't take anything for granted. You can't be sloppy even when you're winning a lot, even when you're winning all the time. Sometimes I do get on a roll. We're on a roll right now for the options letter and in the day trading room, we're on an absolute roll for 2022. It's my job to continue to stay focused and to do the analyzing correctly so that we're getting everything correctly. You know, and that's the work. You know, and when you come and you wanna sign up with me, what you're paying me for if you're taking the class is a knowledge and information to learn how to do the work. And then also to be part of the trading route if you wanna sign up for that because the trading room is a, the class is a prerequisite to join the trading room. So that's number one. But the options newsletter, you're not doing the class, I'm learning the system in that, you're getting the benefit of me doing the work for the letter. So that is the benefit of that. And again, it's up to me to be focused when I'm doing it. So, you know, a lot of times people have been back and forth with trading. You know, I've heard this for so long now because I've had the business for 10 years. It's 10 years I've had the business now since 2020 since I started the Stock Switch. It's absolutely not impossible to make money in the market, absolutely not. However, that being said, a lot of people don't know what to do and they're doing strategies that don't work or they're not doing strategies at all or they're following people that don't know what to do. One of the reasons that I'm successful is because I am extremely, extremely, extremely focused. My class itself teaches 26 points, that should tell you something right there. I'm a very detailed person. When I read the market, when I make stock picks, whether I'm looking and analyzing if we should go longer or short, everything I do in the gap is very strategic. And again, it's about staying focused. And I think a lot of traders aren't focused and then when they lose, they're even less focused. You know what I'm saying? Because then people tend to chase the profits. They're off willy-nilly. They're 50, 50. They could go long and short the same stock the same day, which is nuts, okay? This market has continued to be volatile. This market is going to continue to be choppy. You have to know how to play it. We've been doing shorts. We've done some longs this year. We will go long the market again. We will short the market again. We go long and we go short. It's about capturing the move at the right time with momentum in order to make money. Again, sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down. And as I pointed out earlier, this market is absolutely, absolutely still in an uptrend. Don't be fooled thinking that it's not, all right? But I will say that this has been a phenomenal start to the year for 2022. I'm really looking forward to it. If you've been thinking about signing up, then don't delay. And if you already signed up, I'm sure you're very happy that you did because we've had a phenomenal start to this year, both for day trades and options.

So again, I remind myself every day, even when I'm doing extremely well, like I've been so far this year, to stay focused. Don't ever take winning for granted. You've got to get the moves. You've got to be focused. You've got to be on your tippy toes. I get up in the morning early when I look at everything. So I know exactly how to pre-planned out what I want to do. Sometimes I'm sending trades out at really at seven o'clock in the morning and the market hasn't even opened until 930. So again, focus counts. Don't ever get lazy. Do the homework, do the work you need to do. And by golly, if you are losing money in the market, there's no reason for you to be failing right now. The market has had plenty of great moves and will continue to have good moves and earning season began today. So today we shorted JPM. It was a nice quick in and out day trade and we'll see what happens next week. I'm looking forward to it. Have a great long holiday weekend. Rest up.
