We look forward to continuing our high winning record in the Momentum Strategy and the Indicator Strategy in the new year.

Highlight of this past week: The Momentum Strategy continues its fantastic run with 7 more wins this week--an no losses. That's 113.07% for the year and a great December for this strategy indeed!!

In this Issue---
Momentum Plays---
************************************************
What a great December we are having in this strategy! We've just had another week with seven wins and no losses for a total of 15 wins this month and no losses. Now we know that we can't go on forever with a 100% win rate but we are very encouraged with our new format and believe we can maintain a very high win rate. And some of our members have been backing the truck up (as Cramer says) and really been loading up on the number of contracts on these plays. They are trading many more contracts than we post on the site. Their cash register has continually been ringing this month. Check it out at Momentum Plays

Free Trial Offer---

Three Indicators---
****************************
There was 1 play this past week, with the W Indicator coming thru for another win and showing this quarter with 10 wins and 1 loss. It might be a bit slow compared to our Momentum daily trades, but it is a system with a great value for the small price of $19.95/month.

Feedback---
***********************************
Here's a few words from one of our active traders in the Support/Resistance program in the Momentum Strategy--Henry says--
"Here's my story for today's SR play............. As I write this email, I would be at a 0.67 winner if I had held on. That would equate to $2,800.00 profit on my 40 contracts."----------Henry

Reported for his trade on Friday, working off a cost of 0.88 for the SPY Put option. The main point is that the system worked fine.

The Economy, The Markets & Commentary---
*************************************************
OK, now we have settled the bailout for the auto sector. What can we expect next? Most of the people with any sort of experience in the economy seem to think that we have a long, hard road ahead before we are back to a decent economy. Oil is approaching more recent record low levels and it feels great when we pull up to the gas pumps. Of course, it helps to have a job to be able to afford these relatively low gas prices, but we certainly don't feel sorry for the oil producers--not by a longshot.

The credit markets are still pretty much frozen, and we see that the intended credit expansion has not happened. Will they loosen up the purse-strings, and when? It should have been a requirement before they were bailed out.

Holy, moly--how about Mr. Madoff's Ponzi scheme !!! FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS lost! So many things have been mind-boggling this year, but this one takes the cake. Our good friends at the SEC sure do protect us, don't they? NOT !! I have known for a long time that the SEC is inefficient when it comes to protecting investors. That statement is based on personal experience with companies I investigated in that were committing fraud--and got away with it. This case, if no other, does point out the benefits of not putting all your eggs in one basket.

Too many people did have all their eggs in this basket, and they have been totally wiped out. Some of these people are "smart, experienced" mulit-millionaires that were fleeced like little lambs---and said "Thank you" to Mr. Madoff every time the fales statements came.

The volatility in the market has subsided, but is still high by historical standards. With this volatility we see opportunities for day trading and we have been doing well in picking our entry levels--thus far. No guarantee that it will continue, but we are confident that our readings of the market will continue to be accurate. Stay tuned................

 Today's Thought---
*****************
From team member, Mrs. B, who is still working----I asked if her retired husband had taken up cooking. Her very quick response--"If he wants to eat !"
