Below is the 8th ASC Mastermind  Course. In this video, I got a helpful assist from All Star Charts Director of Research Steve Strazza. 

There's something psychologically magical about dividends. For decades, investors have flocked to all sorts of investment strategies that seek to maximize dividend gains...perhaps because they simply like getting paid to invest. 

But these strategies that focus on dividend-paying stocks...they miss the point entirely. The best way to make money with dividends is not to own the stocks that simply pay the highest yield...it's to own the stocks that pay a dividend while also going up in value.

This is how we avoid common dividend traps like Verizon, AT&T, Phillip Morris, and other companies that have a nice yield but are otherwise garbage investments. 

At All Star Charts, we came up with a new to find the best dividend-paying stocks. We call it The Young Aristocrats. And in this Mastermind course, you'll learn how it works. 

Enjoy.

Below is the 9th ASC Mastermind  Lab. In this video, I'm joined by Grant Hawkridge, one of our analysts at All Star Charts and a specialist in understanding market sentiment. 

How do we know when investors are "bullish" or "bearish"? Price, for one. But there are also several key indicators that we use to measure investor sentiment in addition to price alone. And understanding these indicators, how they work, and when to use them, is critical in getting a complete picture of the market. 

Enjoy this Mastermind Lab. 

Below is the 7th ASC Mastermind Course. In this course, I discuss incorporating moving averages into your analysis.

If you're going to talk about market seasonality, you might as well talk to the master. Jeff Hirsch is the editor and publisher of the Stock Trader's Almanac. His dad, Yale Hirsch, literally created the Almanac and is responsible for bringing the idea of market seasonality to the mainstream. 

There is no one that understands market seasonality better than Jeff. I have learned everything that I know on this topic from him. I hope you enjoy our conversation. 

Below is the 6th ASC Mastermind Course. In this course, I discuss pattern recognition and why it works. 

Below is the 5th ASC Mastermind Course. In this course, I discuss sentiment and seasonality, and how we use it to further our analysis.

In our last Mastermind Lab, I spoke with Jason Perz about the relationship between bonds, commodities, and currencies. This time, I wanted to bring the conversation back to the stock market. Enter Todd Sohn, ETF & Technical Strategist at Strategas Securities.

Todd and I discussed the ETF market at length, how it's evolved in recent years, and its future. We also discussed a variety of different intermarket analysis techniques that incorporate ETFs.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Todd Sohn.

I wasn't ready to move on from intermarket analysis just yet. It's too important. So I called up Jason Perz, the newest All Star Charts analyst, and someone who is an expert in the relationship between bonds, commodities, and currencies. 

Jason and I discussed these relationships at length, how these markets have reacted to major historical events, and how a move in one market could impact another.

Enjoy my conversation with Jason.

In our last Mastermind Lab, I spoke with Steve Strazza about momentum thrusts. This time, I wanted to talk with a portfolio manager who uses momentum as part of his strategy. Enter Dan Russo, Portfolio Manager at Potomac Fund. 

Dan broke down for us a simple way of implementing momentum into your portfolio management, how he protects against drawdowns while using momentum, and what he sees as the biggest challenges of using momentum. 

Enjoy my conversation with Dan Russo.

The theme of ASC Mastermind Week 2 is momentum trading, and why it works. So naturally it made sense for me to talk to All Star Charts Director of Research Steve Strazza. Steve uses momentum as much in his day-to-day as I do. 

The main concept Steve wanted to hammer home is momentum thrusts, what they are, when they happen, the different types with examples, and how to analyze them. 

Enjoy this Mastermind Lab Course on momentum.
