The unique screen in the design blueprint could be the result of a new technology that is going to change our lives. Forbes calls it "the next Industrial Revolution." It will help make everything cheaper, faster, better, and safer... from smartphone screens to computer chips, to vaccines, to construction materials, and more. And one little-known company is leading this revolution. Getting in early could lead to huge profits. But you'll have to do it before the news of this company reaches the masses. [Click here before it's too late](. --------------------------------------------------------------- Since the beginning of 2022, it has been a rough stretch in the markets... Looking at the big picture, we don't think that much has changed in the past few months. The stock market moved from a period of great visibility on earnings and liquidity to an environment with much less visibility. This type of transition always creates increased volatility, and this time is no different. Add to that transition the burning off of the "COVID bubble" in the stock market and this has been a pretty miserable time for investors. So in today's essay, we're going to give a concise summary of some general insights and tactics to deal with this kind of market environment... Our overall recommendation would be to write these bullets on a post-it note at the bottom of your trading screen. These are tactics that always work but are particularly important in the current environment... - Trade a lot or don't trade at all This is probably the most important recommendation for this type of environment. In fact, some of the best trading opportunities occur in these types of market environments. In the speculative days of last year's market, you could often find stocks and cryptocurrencies trading up triple digits in just days. This isn't happening today, but you can find some of the highest quality companies in the world trading in broad double-digit ranges. Be nimble and take advantage of these opportunities. - Buy low, sell high Some investors roll their eyes when they hear this... but far too few actually do it! There are opportunities to trade very quickly in today's type of market. For instance, there have already been three 10% rallies in the S&P 500. That could be a sign of an emerging bear market or just a violent consolidation period, but if you remain disciplined with this rule, it produces great opportunities. --------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Link: [Whitney Tilson: 'He's a Stone-Cold Moneymaker']( The moment he started Empire Financial Research, Whitney Tilson set his sights on ONE man to hire.

[He's got a strange warning for Americans today](. --------------------------------------------------------------- - Plan the trade, trade the plan It's crucial that you stick to your original thesis for an idea when investing. Are you buying a stock for an earnings report? Be sure to sell it after that earnings report... no matter what happens. Are you trading the oversold conditions in the indexes or a particular stock? You need to sell after that condition exhausts itself. Are you adding to your long-term holdings portfolio? Buy the stock and ignore it from there. This is another truly evergreen strategy... but deviation from it in this type of market environment spells certain doom. - Preserve capital Take the opportunity to thoroughly review each of the holdings in your portfolio for real capital risk. Is the underlying company properly set up to deal with the current volatile macroeconomic environment from a cash flow and balance sheet perspective? Is your portfolio properly set up so you don't have to make inopportune decisions that could lock in permanent capital loss? Thoroughly review both of these concepts, because this type of stock market produces another type of opportunity as well... - Upgrade With the carnage happening in the stock market and particularly in technology stocks, there's an opportunity to upgrade your portfolio. Some of the best businesses in the history of the economy and stock market are down 50% or more from their highs. Why not take some of the smaller capitalization holdings with much less certain prospects and sell them – even if they are down much more than 50% – and upgrade to higher-quality businesses? The poster child for this is Big Tech stock Meta Platforms (META). While there are certainly legitimate concerns about its prospects, you can be sure the company is going to be around for a long time. Can you say the same about many of the other stocks where you may have lost money? If you can't, take advantage of this incredible opportunity to upgrade your portfolio. And when it comes to upgrading your portfolio, there's a little-known investing secret to make more money in the declining markets starting right now... In fact, it's the same strategy I used to grow my hedge fund by 130,000% in less than four years in the midst of the dot-com bust. And yet, 99% of investors probably don't know about it... But many of the greatest investors in the world have used this secret, even if they don't mention it publicly. It allows you to target huge discounts on some of the best stocks in the world, with the chance to make thousands of dollars in extra income every single month. It's the best-kept secret of making money during a downturn, so I prepared a special presentation to give you all the details – [watch it right here](.
