A bird's-eye view of a massive, tightly packed crowd of people all pushing and squeezing toward a single glowing semiconductor chip placed on a pedestal at the center. The overwhelming density of the crowd creates a visual sense of danger and instability, with the edges of the crowd appearing chaotic and on the verge of collapse. The contrast between the shiny, coveted chip and the crushing mob surrounding it instantly communicates the risk of following the herd into an overcrowded market positi

Hey, Ross here:

Let me ask you a question every trader should be asking themselves…

Are you piling into a crowded trade?

Chart of the Day

are-you-in-a-crowded-trade

This chart shows the results of a Bank of America survey asking money managers what the most crowded trade is right now.

As you can see, the clear answer is now going long global semiconductors.

This isn’t surprising…

And there’s nothing inherently wrong with piling into the semiconductor trade.

In fact, back in April, we recommended a major semiconductor name – and that position has shot up nearly 150% since then.

Of course, if you look at the grey bar in the chart above, you can see that the semiconductor trade was rated as far less crowded at that time.

So, all things being equal…

The best thing to do is to get into these trades before they get too crowded.

And that leads to what NOT to do when you’re trying to avoid these “too-crowded” trades.

I explain more below.

Insight of the Day

The more you follow the retail crowd, the more you will find yourself stumbling into crowded trades.

Right now, retail activity is heating up to new record highs…

And lots of this cash is flowing into the semiconductor trade.

I can’t say I blame them – it is the most “obvious” hot trade out there right now.

And I think there are still some decent gains to be had there…

But if you want to look for more “underground” trades with much more potential…

Then join me LIVE later this morning at 11 a.m. Eastern…

Because I’m going to show you exactly how to target these explosive underground trades…

Using a method that could have pinpointed moves like 287%… 542%… even 806% in just six days.

But I must warn you…

Although this method is devastatingly effective, it’s also highly controversial.

You’ll understand why when I break everything down later.

So just click here now to confirm your free spot if you haven’t already…

And I’ll see you in just a bit at 11 a.m. ET.

P.S. If you’re planning to attend on a mobile device, make sure you download the presentation app now so you don’t miss anything when it starts. See you there.
