The road to success is not to be run upon by seven-leagued boots. Step by step, little by little, bit by bit—that is the way to wealth, that is the way to wisdom, that is the way to glory. ~Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton

When a market is at historical highs or lows, but there is no sign of a change of trend, my advice is to leave it alone and wait for signs of a change of trend.  Trade with the trend and be patient.
                   ~Victor Sperandeo, Methods of a Wall Street Master

In last week's newsletter I mentioned how we would like to reach out and let others know that there is a way to create additional cash flow without spending an inordinate amount of time beyond what they already spend at their normal job or business making a living.  Here's the results of what happened the past few days with our publisher:

Holiday Season Special:  ChartSmith-Forging Your Financial Future now 25% off...As mentioned last week, we have been working with our publisher on a new pricing arrangement and we're excited to share this great news with you now! 

Giving the Gift of Futures Education to friends and loved ones just got easier, ChartSmith-Forging Your Financial Future is now available at only $29.95!


Want a copy of the book for FREE?  We're not urging anyone to run out and sign up for a credit card but we do want to give you additional options when possible.  Amazon is offering, for a limited time, a $30 credit on your purchase when you enroll (1-minute process) in the Amazon.com Rewards Visa card from Chase.  If interested you can view details of this program during the checkout process on Amazon.com.  Simply click on the Amazon.com Rewards Visa option to enroll and receive your $30 purchase credit.

Free Enrollment:  Whether you're giving a copy of the book as a gift to a friend or loved one please remember to suggest Free Enrollment in the ChartSmith Weekly Newsletter to them.  This companion tool will bring them up-to-speed in today's global commodity futures markets with greater efficiency and ease!

Given the present condition of the economy, and knowing how important it is for families in today's environment to develop additional streams of income we feel it incumbant upon us to get the word out to as many folks as possible.  We would like to reach out and let them know that there is a way to create additional cash flow without spending an inordinate amount of time beyond what they already spend at their normal job or business making a living.  This week's unemployment report of more than 10% emphasizes the importance of this even more.

     Here's what we're doing and you can be in on this as well!  The timing is perfect for all of us as we roll into the holiday season to give the gift of investment education to friends and family.  If some of the special people in your life end up creating additional streams of income from commodity trading because you gifted them with knowledge of this great business they will be grateful to you forever! 

     We want this to be available to everyone at a bargain price!  Here's the plan; this week we contacted our book publisher to work out the details of reducing the per unit pricing on the book, ChartSmith-Forging Your Financial Future, by nearly 25%. This means the book's price on Amazon will be adjusted down from $39.95 to only $29.95 in the next few days.  The new lower price will enable more people to have access to this life enhancing commodity trading book with little money out of pocket, and that's a real value for everyone interested in buying a copy for loved ones or for themselves! 

     This is not available yet.  When this price reduction takes affect we will notify you here on the Trader's Blog.  Amazon is also working on a program that could bring the price of the book down by 50% when two or more books are ordered.  I promise you'll be the first to hear about the details when this arrangement is completed!

     ChartSmith's Weekly Newsletter is a companion tool.  Another way to share this amazing knowledge with others is to let them know about the Weekly Newsletter and the fact that enrollment is still free.  You've told us that the Newsletter is a great companion tool to the book and that's yet another way of adding value for every reader including the folks that mean so much to you!

     Holiday Gifts; ChartSmith-Forging Your Financial Future and the Weekly Newsletter is a winning combo that will bring a ray of sunshine and a blessing of hope to our friends and family during this winter season.  This empowering financial knowledge puts the media's news of uncertainty and fear in its place- creating a brighter financial future with a sense of great accomplishment and confidence to those who want it!  

     You can expect an update to arrive within the next few days!  
                                                                
                                                                       Blessings to you and yours, Scott

After receiving emails and phone calls from some of you letting us know that you had bought lumber a week ago prior to the limit up trading sessions we realized just how astute to market conditions you have become.  From your study of looking for and identifying commodities that have submerged into wholesale levels over the past few months you took the ambitious steps of committing to getting long lumber when the 4-day moving average line crossed up through the 9 and 18-day lines.  You accepted this tool action as adequate evidence combined with the fact that this soft commodity was trading in multi year lows for you to make your decision. 

This was sound and methodical reasoning and best of all it was decision making based on your own assessment of market conditions!  After reviewing the chart on Friday I think it's safe to say that a few of you secured profits exceeding 200% cash on cash returns.  We're pleased to see students receiving excellent profits based on safe and calculated trade decisions and applaud you for having the gumption to follow through.  And greater still, there is more of this to come.  So congratulations and thank you for letting us know!!
