Today, $ETN became our 15th #CoffeeCan holding in that class, after $PLTR just achieved that same honor earlier this month. We originally bought XX shares of Eaton Corp for $XXXXXX on 6/12/23. Today, that position doubled and we sold half (37 shares) at $XXXXXX. When you sell half of your shares within a position that doubled in value, you extract the outside money you originally put into it. What remains (37 shares) is the "house's money", meaning the second half of the shares that we plan to hold, effectively become a risk-free call option on the future. Having achieved this XX times over the last 4-to-5 years, you might be thinking that we have vast portfolios that start with hundreds of stocks... and naturally a number of them will double, given enough time, if you just simply hold them through thick and thin. But that's not how we roll in that TDTT class. Each new stock that we buy is one of just XX stocks in the actively-traded portion of our account. We monitor that account in class every week and kick stocks out as they break down from their uptrends... meaning that it is very difficult for the typical company to double in value without breaking a major uptrend somewhere along the way. To be fair, we've benefitted immensely from the A.I. craze, but we still needed the courage to take the trades and the skills to choose companies that we believed were less likely to break down in the immediate future. I attribute our ability to achieve this rarity so regularly to a couple things... 1) Rules and tools: We have well-defined Trading Rules that we apply in that class weekly, where each stock has to pull its own weight or risk being kicked to the curb. We also use tools like the #SectorSelector and #StockSelector on the Market Scholars website to allow us to locate stocks that we think could go on a major run higher. 2) Collective Intelligence Gathering: In my classes, we use a unique approach to portfolio management. We use the class attendees themselves for consideration, implementing a wide variety of thoughts, skills, experiences, and analysis. Each week, I present X stocks that I pull from our tools (and that meet our Trading Plan rules). We then openly debate the pros and cons of each set-up for the hour we are in class. Lastly, the audience goes into the digital voting polls with an independent mindset, voting for whichever candidate each of them thought was the best opportunity. Whatever stock wins the vote is the one that ends up in our portfolio! We'll occasionally have struggles (ie: 2022 was challenging) just like any strategy. But on the whole, I have no reason to believe that we can't continue to find superior trend trading opportunities (and more Coffee Can holdings) in the future. We are currently running our Black Friday 20%-off sale on our 3-Year Premium #MarketScholars memberships and would encourage you to consider taking advantage of it, to benefit from my Top-Down Trend Trading class, along with our X other weekly classes!
