May 4, 2025.
For busy investors that don’t have time to Swing Trade, we now have a simple Strategy:
Top Pick of the Week. You Buy the “Pick” on Monday morning, and then Sell on Friday’s Close. It’s a time-efficient approach designed to capture short-term gains without requiring constant market monitoring.
This “Pick” is emailed to you with this Weekly Commentary (more details here).
The Top Pick of the Week is still: IAMGOLD INC. IAG, as the Gold Miners were back down in the Green Zones for probable bounces up this week. Sell on the Close Friday.
The 25 Top Picks of the Week Trades were up 23.6 % before compounding, and the S&P 500 Fund (SPY) is down -3.3 %.

SWING TRADING (SHORT TERM)Watchlist and Charts

5/4/2025 Markets were higher for the week, as FEAR from the trade wars has almost disappeared. Two weeks ago the S&P 500 Index made a higher low, which many perceived as Bullish and are betting that the Markets have bottomed from recent Bad News.
But the Buying Volume has not been above average or impressive. The major Indices are no longer over-sold, and many of the Leaders are back up in the daily Red Zones (probably too late to Buy for the short term). So Caution in Buying now, until some pullback.
The FEAR Index $VIX is back down in the Green Zone, indicating that the FEAR is gone. The FEAR Index $VIX could Pop up this week, and Stocks could fall, based on probability.
We Buy the strongest Leaders that make new highs, on pull-backs. So follow the Green Line System and you should continue to win more than you lose. SEE WATCH LIST
With the Green Line System, your Money should flow into the Strongest areas and your Account value should be able to grow in both Bull and Bear Markets. Follow the MONEY, not the MEDIA.
