 everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh, and I'm doing a Chinese New Year Golden Gap Course Combo Special. Chinese New Year is going on right now. Again, I live in New York City, so it's a big deal in New York. There's parades, there's parties, there's all kinds of different shows going on. It's called the Year of the Dragon, which has different meetings, and some people say it means there's going to be more prosperity for you this year. And I found that really interesting because I think we've had a great start actually to 2024. I was just talking about this with a friend yesterday. I said, gosh, you know, if I had written down everything that I wanted to happen this year with trading so far, it couldn't have turned out any better than it's been. We've had a lot of opportunities this year, so I'm here for it. If 2024 is a year of prosperity, I am here and ready to take advantage of it all. So if you are someone that's been interested in your following me, you have an opportunity now to join this week, start trading with us. My email is melissa at thestockswish.com. If you want to sign up, if you have questions, you can call me as well, 929-3200 Gap. You can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or Skype. So again, it's the Year of the Dragon 2024. It's here, and I'm doing the Chinese New Year Special, which is going on through Friday, February 23rd. The class is February 24th and 25th. So the Golden Gap course combo tuition is $74.99 US dollars. If you sign up for the combo by Friday, you will receive the following. The stocks will show live trading room free through the end of 2024. The options newsletter subscription through the end of 2024. For those of you that love options, the market report subscription through the end of 2024 and the Gap options course free. The Gap options course is in March. That is a half day course from 11 to 3. It's March 26th. And the Golden Gap course combo includes the Golden Gap, which is February 24th and 25th, and the Trends course, which is 11 to 3 February 27th. So at the end, I'll go over all these specific dates. The combo includes the Trends and the Golden Gap course, which you will learn how to rate gaps. You will learn the rating system. You will learn the 26 points. You will learn all my entries. You will learn the exits. And then the Trends class, which is a half day class, you will learn how to read and determine long-term trends in a stock or the market. So it's a great, great offer here. It gives you pretty much everything you're going to need to get going, get started, trade. And then of course you're going to get the options trades and the live room trades to the end of this year. So let's get into it. As I was saying, there's certain meanings behind different things. And when we're talking about trading, people do trade for various things. Sometimes people trade because they think it's fun. I think any, even if you think trading is fun, you should take it seriously because you're risking money when you take a trade in. It's your hard earned money and you don't want to lose it. So I find that many people decide they want to trade the market, though, because they really want to become more financially independent or they want a second career. For me, it was, it was both, but really I wanted a new career. And so if your goal, if your dream is to be financially free, then maybe you want to think about doing something like this. You've got to get started somewhere. You've got to learn what to do in order to be successful. You're not going to just wake up one morning trading to have no idea what to do, no strategy, and all of a sudden make all kinds of money. You have to have a plan of action to do it. You have to have goals. And again, you need a strategy. It's about working smarter, not harder. And if you are prepared, not just before every trading date, but before every week, what you want to do, what you want to trade, in what direction you're going to have a higher chance of success. And you want to put the odds in your favor for success. So many people trade the market and have no idea what they're doing. So many people trade the market and lose. I just am shocked actually how many people trade the market and lose, but that's why the odds are stacked in the favor of the people that do prepare themselves and do work smarter, not just harder. But learning helps your conviction. It's good to learn. It's good to open up your mind and learn new things. And you definitely will when you come to me, because in my Golden Gap course, I teach you how to rate gaps. And again, we're going to talk about that in a minute here. So for those of you that are following me that are interested in options and you know who you are, this is an example of what the options newsletter looks like. It has a symbol, strike, expiration date for whatever we're doing and we're buying puts and selling them. We're buying calls and selling them. Yes, I prefer to short. You're mostly short. The class is on shorting, but I will go long. And we have gone long this year, actually in the day trade room and on the options newsletter, a call is a long. But for example, if you sign up for this offer for the Chinese New Year special, you will get the newsletter till the end of the year free with the class. Again, you get this in the morning. You're not taking this trade in the morning, you're taking this trade after the open. Okay, but you are set and prepped and ready to go. And by the way, this trade worked. This was a nice trade. It was a call in NVIDIA and the stock gapped up and it rallied and moved higher. Okay. But for what I do most of the time, you know, whatever the percentage is 95% of the time, 99% of the time, I don't know, it's high that I'm mostly short. And again, we do puts where I'll buy a put and that is a short. If you learn how to short, you're going to also know how to do something that many people don't do in the market or don't do well. So you will have a niche if you're going to focus on shorting, which is one of the reasons for my personal success. And again, learning helps you. It helps your conviction. And when I decided to focus on shorting is because I wanted to do fast trades because stocks fall faster than they rally. I wanted to be done quick early in the morning. And and then I realized, oh my God, a lot of people don't short and they're not good at shorting and they have no idea what to shorten. They're shorting the wrong things and at the wrong places. So in fact, in NVIDIA is a good example where people were shorting that and I said, oh my gosh, this is the last thing I'd short. And again, we went along it. So you'll learn how to do longs and read bullish gaps better. Once you know, understand bearish gaps and shorting as well, because the class, the golden gap class, the main class that I teach, if you want to sign up for it is we're going to, you're going to learn how to short. Now this was a really good short that we did. And again, here is the gap stock close here, gap down. This was PayPal. This was an earnings stock closed up here the night before around 62 and change gap down here in the morning, open, dropped, fell. We shorted this as a Dane trade. Okay. Here was the trade again. You will get the room free with the Golden Gap course combo. Chinese New Year special going on through this Friday, the 23rd, which in which you would, you would get this trade. If you're in the room and calling it 5730 was the entry risk is something that you will determine based on the size of your account and you're buying power. This is a trade on margin. We also did a put in this, but again, you could buy the put the, the room is not an options room though. The newsletter that I showed you in the video, you're going to get them to your email. This is the live room where I'm calling these trades. And then we did an ad at 5780 trouble shares. This was an advanced trader risk average price was 5755 was a good trade. I'm looking for a dollar or close enough in and out is actually kept going though. 5660 was my exit profit was 4750. This was a nice trade. So this is a day trade. You would have to have a margin account to take this trade or you could have bought a put in the room when I called the entry, but I did call a put in the newsletter for this. Again, you will learn in my Golden Gap course how to rate the gap. How to know that PayPal was the short to do in the day to get the play of the day. And then of course you're in the room to get the live call. So let's talk about a little bit more here. What is the gap? A gap is a difference between the close and the open. Simple. Can you buy every bullish gap up? No. Can you short every bullish gap up? No. Can you short every bearish gap down? No. Can you buy every bearish gap down? No. Well, then how do you know what to do? Well, you got to figure it out. You got to find the good ones and there's a lot less good ones than non good ones. In other words, there's there's so many people want to trade all day. No, it's about qualifying it. It's about finding the good ones. And there's not that many. There's enough to do to make money, but there's way more that don't work if you know what I'm saying. So I'm always trying to narrow it down to one or two. One preferably. We can get it. That's all you need is one trade a day and then you add the size. And then you have less losses actually if you have less trades per day. People that are sitting down trading all day long between 934 just lose and give money back in the afternoon. Stocks get most every single day, but not every gap is a good gap or what I call a Golden Gap. And that's what I called my system. I'm looking for the gaps that are predictable. How do I do that? I use my rating system. It's a 26-point rating system and this is what you'll learn in my class, the Golden Gap course. It determines what has a high odds of working. I'm looking for 20 points or more. It's high odds versus gambling. Gambling is bad. Sometimes I talk to people they omit that they're gambling. I'm thinking to myself, well, then why are you doing it? Why are you doing it? Just stop. But that's what people do when they trade. That's you're better off going to just having a weekend, take a vacation, go to Las Vegas, go see some shows, go gambling, have fun, consider it entertainment expense. Trading is something you have to take seriously when you do it, whether it's two days a week, three days a week, one trade a week, five days a week, full-time, like I'm doing it even though it's part-time hours, you still have to dig it seriously. You should not have a gambling mentality if you're doing this. It's going to come back to bite you in the butt. And getting back to what I was saying about the room, we chunk it out in the room. Take the train, get the move, get out. And that's what we do. Okay, so whether you want to do this, again, full-time or part-time, we trade in the morning. The room opens at 9 a.m. We trade between 9 30 and 10. The options newsletters come mostly before the open that you'll have them all prepped and ready to go, whatever you want to do if it's one trade or several trades, and then those are mostly sent out early. Now, sometimes I will call an afternoon options trade, but it's not all the time. It's not even every day or every week. If this is something that you think you want to do and you really want to get serious about it, I'm here to teach you my method. It's a solid method. People are doing extremely well this year. I had in last year in January, I had people that made money before the January class to pay for the class. And again, I have people that have signed up already for this week's class. We'll see what we get this week. But it's been a good year to trade. There's been a lot of opportunities. The video was won. Again, that was a bullish move. PayPal was a bearish move. If you're looking for the market's help this year, I think you're going to struggle because people are talking about what's going to happen now with interest rates. Are we going to go into recession or not? That's one of the reasons the market fell on Friday before the long weekend. So you have to narrow it down to find, like I said, the good ones. Because if you're looking for something where you need the market, you may have a tough year. And again, the market, even if it holds the uptrend, may not go up every single day this year. In fact, it won't. And then people are going to start buying dips. And I think it's going to be a really interesting week, even though it's going to be a short week this week to see where we get tomorrow morning, actually. But don't drown in the market by trading alone. It helps to have a support system. The class is a support system. The room is a support system. I mentor people. They can call me on the phone, email me, ask me questions. That kind of support helps, especially when you're learning something that's brand new. And this is new meaning my system knew, not new that you've been trading new, although it might be. I've taught people that have been trading longer, I'm alive, and they have questions because what I do is unique to me. So you will get the live trading room free through the end of this year. This is huge. If you sign up for this special, and then you'll get to start trading with us, and you won't miss any more time, or any more options trades, or any more day trades, and you'll get the rest of the year to get going. And that is also the support system of getting the live calls. But if you want to work for yourself, if you want to not worry about prices, inflation, or recession, or any of these things, then it's time for you to take this seriously and start getting serious about your own success and saying, I want to do this. This is my dream. I want to do it. Again, maybe it's something you want to do eventually full-time. Maybe you want to trade on the side. Do the class in the weekend, do options, so you can get in the room every day. Make it work for yourself, however you need to make it work for yourself to get started because you may have questions. So again, the process that I go through every single day is I get up in the morning, I make a watch list of gaps, then I read them, and I go through and I read them. And this is what you're going to learn in the class is a checklist. Boom. And you're going to go through it, and you're going to read them and determine what you want to do, where, and when. So the class is called the Golden Gap course. It's February 24th and 25th. And again, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time class, the tuition is $69.99. You can be anywhere in the world and take it. The combo includes the trends. So the Golden Gap course combo is $74.99, which includes two classes. You get a discount if you sign up for the combo on the trends, which is a 27th, 11th, to three classes online. Then the Chinese New Year special, which is running through the 23rd for February's classes. If you sign up, you get all of these things. Again, for one price, which is $74.99, you'll be in for the room for the year in getting all the options. And then the options course in March, which is great too, and the market report. So if you want to sign up for this, again, my email is Melissa at thestockswishedup.com. Don't wait till the last minute if you want to sign up. Again, people already have, and they're going to be in the room this week training. I expect it to be a very profitable week. And think about the meaning of the year of the dragon, prosperity, being bold, and moving forward really with your finances, with your training, with your life. Email me if you have any questions and have a great week everybody.
