Quick-Hit Earnings Trades: What's Next for Us

June 4, 2009

Dear Quick-Hits Trader,

In Tuesday’s edition of Quick-Hit Earnings Trades I put my email address out there and asked for feedback and questions. I have to say that the community of investors that we have here is really sharp. Everyone had excellent questions and it is clear to me that we share the common goal of wanting to take control of our investments and fight through the market turmoil and make money no matter what. But above everything else, almost every e-mail I received echoed the same idea:

“Thanks for all the great Quick-Hits recommendations … but where can I find your next group of stock picks? I want to keep buying!”

I can’t tell you how happy it made me to see all these messages! This is in stark contrast to the paranoia, fear and inertia that crippled investors last year—and some investors are still caught in this negative thinking. So thank you for proving to me once and for all that individual investors are thinking clearly and are ready to get to work in the new era on Wall Street.

I remain dedicated to giving you timely stock advice that will help you succeed as an individual investor. But unfortunately, after this installment of Quick-Hit Earnings Trades, my weekly eletter to you will return to its regular once-a-week format and I won’t be tracking any more of our dedicated trades. That’s because Quick-Hits was designed to bring double-digit profits over earnings season, and now that the quarterly reports have all been released we will have a lull until mid-July.

But don’t despair—I have some significant changes in the works for my Portfolio Grader stock ranking tool to alert you to the hottest investments on Wall Street. This will revolutionize our ability to keep talking about stocks, sectors…you name it!

So while our Quick-Hits run ends until next quarter, next Thursday we will embark on an even more exciting journey together as What’s Working on Wall Street Now enters its next phase. I’m very excited to share this ground-breaking tool with you, so make sure you check your email on Thursday, June 11, to hear all about it!

But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. I want to wrap up our Quick-Hits series by answering some of your questions on the market and our stocks:
