\\nYou don\\u2019t have to make understanding the markets so difficult. \\xa0I\\u2019ll give you that they are counterintuitive, but days like today \\u2013violent 100-point swings \\u2013 don\\u2019t have to wear you out.
\\nHow you can trade and invest like we do here at Noram Asset Management? \\xa0Learn how to spot sector and subgroup rotation. \\xa0Also you need to pay attention to the correlated assets. \\xa0For this market the correlated assets are Japanese Yen and Bonds. \\xa0If bonds and Yen are lower then most likely you\\u2019ll see stock markets move higher. \\xa0If bonds and yen are higher then markets will most likely trade lower.
\\nThe correlation was in full effect today. \\xa0Bonds and Yen were soft at the open; they caught a bid and then started racing higher. \\xa0Their peak coincides with the Nasdaq hitting and bouncing off its 200-day simple moving average. \\xa0As you can guess bonds and Yen fizzled into the close and markets rallied.
\\nEasy is the new black\\u2026 it doesn\\u2019t always have to hurt to try and make money in the market\\u2013 open your mind to uncovering the \\u201ceasy\\u201d trade.
\\nThe question you now have is how can I make money with this information like we do here at Noram Asset Management. How can I find the \\u201ceasy\\u201d trade? \\xa0First you need to know what is correlated. \\xa0Secondly you then need to understand how to spot a potential move higher in stocks or an asset class. \\xa0For two plus weeks bonds have been firming up. \\xa0I\\u2019ve been discussing this at length on my radio show and in my weekend update videos.
\\nWhat\\u2019s the easiest way to be a bear in this market without the stress? \\xa0Use bonds or bond ETFs like TLT. \\xa0If you\\u2019d like to know what I expect out of bonds in the near term watch this video – \\xa0http://noramassetmanagement.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Meet-Now-4-11-14-6.40-PM.mp4
\\nThe last piece of the puzzle is learning how to position your portfolio for the move. \\xa0If you\\u2019re curious as to how we do this please visit me in my office and trade with me. \\xa0I\\u2019ll be happy to show you.
