A few days ago, I told you about a little-known indicator that’s making a small group of investors a lot of money. #-ad_banner-#Unlike other indicators, it’s precise and simple to use. You don’t have to interpret its meaning. It completely takes the guesswork out of investing. Frankly, I haven’t seen anything like it in all my years of working in the financial industry. We call this indicator the “Maximum Profit Score,” because it consistently beats the market and often with less risk than buy-and-hold investing. It can flag exactly which stocks are about to jump double and triple digits… Read More
