 Happy holidays, everyone! This is Melissa Armo and I own the Stock Swoosh, and I'm doing a few Black Friday specials for the holidays for 2023. It's been a very exciting time to trade the U.S. stock market, and I'm really looking forward also to 2024. If you have questions or if you'd like to sign up for any of the Black Friday specials, email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com or you can call me at 929-3200GAP. You can also follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or Skype. So are you prepared to have a fabulous 2024? If you're not, you still have time to get ready, but you want to get ready, you want to prepare, it's really going to help you have a successful year all the preparations beforehand. Because again, part and one of the keys for me actually and part of the reason for my success is the prep work that I do before I trade. I figure out in the morning in the pre-market what I want to trade in anticipation of making the money, and then the money comes. And it comes easily when you know what to do and you know what to look for and then you see it and you get the setup and then you take the trade. So again, preparation is key for your own success. I always find it interesting how people just don't understand that they do have to put work into becoming a successful trader. That work could be time, studying charts, taking a class like mine, time doing the class. My class is my golden gap course is two full days. So again, the time investment for you and the financial investment for you can really pay off. And it's not like it has to be something that you're doing for years and years and years until you get it and you're making money. But it does have to be something where you take it seriously. And too many traders just don't take their own personal trading success seriously. So if you're thinking about 2024 and you're even starting to think about resolutions for next year, one of your resolutions should be to become successful as a trader if that's something that you've had as a goal and you haven't been able to accomplish yet. And again, 2023 is almost over. For me personally, this was a very exciting year for me. It was my first full year in my new home and living along the park, Central Park. I have just found this incredible appreciation for nature that I never had before in my whole life. And Central Park is absolutely beautiful. And if you haven't gone to YouTube or subscribed to my YouTube, you should do so. I post so many nature videos or I have been posting nature videos in the last few months since I've been out enjoying the park. And I'm really excited to see actually what winter looks like in the park. I read the Farmer's Almanac. We're actually going to have a lot of snow I think this year, some Nor'easters. So that'll be beautiful to see on the park. But 2023 is over. Not quite yet. Not quite yet. We've got about a month and a half left of trading. And so I'm sitting down and getting ready for my goals and what I want to do in the month of December, because it's not over yet. But we have to prepare. We have to prepare for 2024. So happy holidays, everyone. Again, Thanksgiving is the launch and the start of the holiday season. And for me, living in New York City, it's always the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, which Santa Claus comes at the end of the parade. I will be watching the parade this year live. And it's an exciting time to think about the holidays, celebrating with friends and family. And again, being thankful and grateful for all the wonderful things that we have this year. I'm grateful for so many things this year. I'm grateful for all of you, all of my clients, my followers. I'm grateful for this beautiful place that I live in. I'm grateful for Central Park and all of the birds and trees and all the people that actually take care of the park and make the park a beautiful place. So this has been really just a year full of blessings for me. And when I take a look at where I've been in my life and where I want to go and create my future goals and dreams, it's always good to really feel grateful for what we have. And then say, where do I want to be 12 months from now? Where do I want to be six months from now? What do I want to accomplish next year? And then how do I get to those goals and have those accomplishments? So the Black Friday sales I'm doing, these are for people that have been out there that have been wanting to join. And if you put up joining, not just this year, but you've been following me for several years, don't waste any more time sitting on the sidelines watching, watching my videos, watching me in the trading room, and then not participating. Because again, you want to make some strides in your own trading and your own life and your own finances going into the next calendar year. So all of these sales will end on Sunday, November 26th. So the Black Friday sales I'm starting today, one week in advance. Today is Sunday, November 19th. I'm starting the sales today, and I'm running them for one week. So the Golden Gap Course Combo Black Friday Package includes the Golden Gap Course, which is December 16th and 17th, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time. The Trends Course, which is January 30th, 11 to 3, and the Golden Gap Course Combo is $74.99 U.S. dollars. That is what you will see with the Black Friday Combo. Now the package that you're going to get, the bonuses for Black Friday, again, you must sign up by 11 26 2023. You'll receive the trading room until the end of 2024. That will get you more than a year. It'll get you the rest of 2023 to get started trading and then all of 2024. The Gap Options newsletter subscription, all the options trades that I do. Again, through the end of 2024, that's huge. The Market Report subscription through the end of 2024, that's a good report. It comes out once a week on a Monday. The Gap Options Course, which is November 30th, so this is the first class you do, 11 to 3, and then two one-hour mentoring sessions with me, which is a really nice special because, again, you can ask me questions before the class, after the class, and, again, get one-on-one help or just questions about trades that you want to review. Again, the Black Friday offer ends 11 26 2023. This is a great, great package. The reason that, again, this is a nice package for people is not only will you learn the class, the Golden Gap course, the rating system, how I make my stock picks, and all the trades I take options or day trades. Both are Golden Gaps. You're going to get the support, the support of all of my trade calls to the end of 2024. It's more than a year, and you're going to get the support of the live room, and then the mentoring sessions as well. Now, if you only want to sign up for the options, I'm doing a Black Friday options package. The Gap Options newsletter annual subscription Black Friday package is you sign up for the Gap Options newsletter annual subscription. It's 12 months, and you're going to save $1,000. So the normal price is $69.99. You can sign up for $59.99. And I'm going to do several things free with this package for the options. You will get the market report free for one year, the Gap Options course free November 30, and then the trends course on January 30, which goes over long-term trends. All of that for the price of $59.99. This is a great offer because you get the two classes free, the market report free, and you save $1,000 off of the newsletter price. So again, this is going on through 1126. So for those of you again are wondering, well, what's the Gap Option newsletter? Actually, let me show you the newsletter. This is what the newsletter looks like. This was sent 1019.907 in the morning before the open. You're going to get the symbol, the strike, the expiration date, and the type, which is a call or put. We're buying puts and selling them and buying calls and selling them. I call the 225s on the 19. So let's just go back here. This was Tesla. Again, you can see here stock close to your Gap down, fell. This was a nice call. Again, take it over. I call this right here, snug as a bug, right a little bit before the, right close to the money. And then again, it dropped. So a put is a short. Okay. So again, when I'm trading, I'm trading momentum. That's what you're going to learn about in the class. That's how you're going to learn how to rate the gap. The cost was $6, sold at 21. Again, entered at the 19th, exited at the 23rd. Nice trade. Profit was $18,000 on a return or a risk of 7,200 return and investment was 250%. If you bought one contract and paid $6, okay, you still could have made 250%. So the whole point of trading, whether you take 50 contracts, one contract, two, all right, is that you're going to maximize the amount of money you're risking with the profit. Now I just want to go back here and show you 1019 to 1023. So again, stock close here, gap down, fell. This is 1019. This was 1020. It was the Friday. Here's Monday. It was the exit. Boom. Now I also want to show you here, this expired the 27th. If you didn't get out where I did, which I don't know why you wouldn't have gotten out it somewhere in here. It continued to fall. You could have exited even with profit. This trade was profitable and through the strike on the last day. I don't suggest holding to the last day, but I'm just showing you here what a nice call that was. What a really, really, really nice trade call that was. Okay. So again, it's one of these things where really, really nice trade. It's up to you to decide if you want to do options or not. One of the benefits of doing options is you have a fixed risk. You could open an options account as little as $2,000. And also you can have a cash account. You don't need a margin account to do options. So you don't have the same requirements as having a margin account at a retail broker. So again, there's a lot of benefits to trading options and people want to do them. And if they can't be in the trading room every single day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, you get the trade in the morning. You could put the trade on or put a sell order when you're in it and you can make it work like that. Okay. But even if you bought one contract of this, which would have cost you $6. So that would have been what $600. You could have made $1,500. And again, this is taking it on the Thursday, oops, and exiting it on the Monday, Thursday, Friday, Monday. That's a really nice trade. And I call trades like that all the time. So again, you got to get the trades to make the money. But one of the reasons that I particularly love to trade gaps, and this is what you're going to learn in the Golden Gap course, is how fast the momentum comes in, how quick it happens, particularly in the day trades. And I say chunk it out. You could do one trade. You could do two. You could have done the test and got out the same day I called it. Chunk it, chunk it, chunk it out. How do you make a lot of money? First, you have to learn what to do. Then you have to consistently apply the information to trade. Then you can up your risk. And then you build it from there. And that's how you build your account. And again, it's all about taking calculated risks for me. So the genius of my Golden Gap strategy and what you'll learn in the Golden Gap course in the class is the 26-point checklist. 20 points or more, that's what you're looking for. If I don't get 20 points or more, then I'm not going to take the trade at all. If I do, I qualify the gap based on the rating and then I will take it in the direction of the gap. Whether it's one trade or two trades, I try to focus on one thing a day, but you can do multiple options at the same time. And again, if you're in the room, I'm calling the trades live in the room. The room is a day trade room. The options newsletter is the options trades they get emailed to you. So you don't have to be in the room, but you're getting the room free with this package, which is nice with the Golden Gap course combo package. Everything I do is about the Golden Gap strategy. Now, just to show you here this, this was really a nice day trade, actually. I'm going to go over the day trade, but I'd call the put in this too. Walmart closed here, gap down fell. Again, you're going to learn how to rate this gap to determine that this is a good pick that you want to short it or buy a put in it. That's what you're going to learn in the Golden Gap course. Now, here was the one minute. Again, I call this trade of the live room stock close to your gap down. We shorted it. Now, I ended up holding this, didn't add in it and held it for the majority of the day to get it down because I really love this trade. These are really tiny bars on the one minute because I wanted to show you the move it had into the afternoon. While it's not the case that I hold everything that long, I did on this particular day. You could have got out fast in the morning, still a great exit. I just want to show you it really went very nicely. Golden gaps follow through. You can do day trades. You can do options in them. Again, they follow through, which is one of the benefits, again, of learning the system. How do you make money in the market? Got to get the direction right, the timing, and you need momentum. We're not scalping here. We're taking real trades where we're getting big moves, $1, $2, $3 more. We entered this here at $158.25, added at $158. Doubled up. Average price was $158.12. Exit was $155.75. Do you see this here? This is a $2 plus move on one day in the stock. Again, you could have done this as an option. We did do puts in this too. I sent them out before the open. $8058 is the profit on this. Again, this is doing a day trade on margin and holding it down for the push. You can do a day trade. You can do an option. You could do both. I like to do both. But for day trades, I'm usually done in 5, 10, 15 minutes of the first half hour of the day. Everyone's at a blue moon. I will hold something like Walmart. I just really like that gap. I knew, I said $155.155. It ran out of time. It almost got to $155. It just ran out of time. But usually, most of the trades, the rooms open the first half an hour of the day till about 10 o'clock, 10.15. Usually, we're done day trading by then. Now, if you're somebody that's new, you've never traded your life for your beginner, you will learn candlesticks from me. You'll learn how I have my charts set up. You're going to learn a lot of new stuff. You may have a longer learning curve than someone that's been trading for a while, but you absolutely still can learn and still can do it. And you want to have any bad habits. And I have taught people that have never traded before in their life. So you can do it. Ultimately, it's about making money. You also want to have fun while doing it. It's not fun to lose. It's fun to win. So we've got to keep the losers small and hardly any at all. We need lots of wins and we need big wins. Trades like Walmart having those big wins, that is fun. Lots and lots of fun and everyone's making money. So again, at the end of this calendar year, if you're thinking about where you're at and where you want to be, 12 months from now. Again, at the end of 2024, do you want to change careers? Do you want to work for yourself? Do you just want to have more freedom, more money, more time to do other things with your life besides work all the time, if that's what you're doing? One of the nice things about trading is markets only open from 9.30 to 4. And we don't even trade all day. So this is not a 40-hour week job if you decide you want to do this for a living. But education is really a gift to yourself. You're investing in yourself if you're signing up for my class and you want to learn this and you want to do it and you want to take it seriously. And you may be buying gifts for lots of other people for the holidays and that's great. But self-gifting and loving yourself is important too. Education is a gift to yourself and the best gift you can give yourself for your trading because if you're not doing well or don't know what you're doing, you should not be risking money in the market. Learning what to do and having a strategy to follow and a mentor to follow every day like me is really going to help your success and just leapfrog your progress to move forward into the calendar year. So again, what will you learn in the Golden Gap course? You will learn how to rate the gap. That's all day Saturday. Sunday you're going to learn all my entries and you're going to learn my exits and the targets. So then you can apply the system to do day trades or options. But because the package is so so concise with everything you need for the packages and the classes, you're going to get the benefit of the support of my trade calls until the end of 2024 if you sign up for this by 1126.
