It’s official, the market has defied September seasonality.
The S&P 500 is up 20.8% in the first 9 months of the year – its strongest performance since 1997.
And as today’s chart shows, it’s not just the popular mega-cap stocks driving these gains.
Chart of the Day
This chart is a bit complex, so let me boil it down to what’s important.
The S&P 500 delivered a 5.4% return for the third quarter.
However, 328 stocks in the index delivered more than a 5.4% return. For these 328 stocks, their average return was 9.2%.
In short, we’re seeing broad participation in this bull market.
And as I explain below, this may be one of the easiest times to beat the index there is.
Insight of the Day
The broader the bull market, the easier it is to beat the index.
328 stocks out of 500 – 66% of the total – beat the index.
That’s the majority of stocks in the index.
In other words, even if you picked a random stock in the index, the chances are you would have outperformed it.
The broader the bull market, the easier it is to beat the index.
Yes, the market is doing good.
But why settle for good when you can go for great instead?
That’s why later this afternoon at 12 p.m. Eastern…
I’m going LIVE for a masterclass that will show you how to target some of the most lucrative stocks there are.
These are stocks the insiders have quietly bought in on…
Likely because they’re anticipating something big coming down the pipeline.
Remember, these insiders have intel on their own companies that even the most connected Wall Street analysts do not…
And they don’t hesitate to exploit it for their own profit.
That’s why following their trades and positioning ourselves alongside them can be so lucrative.
The strategy I built to leverage these insiders has generated a 1,900% compounded return since inception – and it’s never had a losing year.
I believe this is the best strategy to target the highest returns in this broad bull market.
So, if you haven’t yet, make sure you click here to guarantee your spot at my live masterclass this afternoon…
And get ready to discover:
- Where you can find the complete records of all these insider trades…
- Why so many traders fail when trying to follow these insiders (not all insiders are worth following)
- And the 3 most powerful – yet counterintuitive – insider buying signals you must know about to be successful
My team will send you the login details shortly.
See you at 12 p.m. ET today.
