Your Market Gains Are a Mirage
By Brandon Chapman, CMT
Hey trader,
The S&P 500 is up roughly a thousand points over the last year.
So how is it possible to have bought and held through all that and STILL lose money?
One word: inflation.
And there's an easy way to understand this I want to show you today.
You see, measured against gold, the S&P 500 has lost 33% of its purchasing power since August.
The index has gone sideways in price while gold has ripped higher, and the gap between the two tells you what the nominal price chart does not.
A weakening dollar inflates the number on your screen. It creates the appearance of gains that do not exist in real terms.
In fact, Ghost Prints Surveillance Console has been flagging institutional call buying in GLD for weeks.
Gold was up 1.4% today while the S&P 500 sold off 75 points. The flow confirms what the ratio already showed.
The SPY/GLD ratio measures the real value of the market. And it's the key to understanding whether you're ACTUALLY making money.
You can avoid the trade setup where most traders get trapped.
The squeeze trap. It happens when a short squeeze gets started, only to evaporate. Miserably.
A gamma squeeze play can be great. The Ghost Prints Surveillance Console lit up opportunities on KSS (375% in 13 days), PLUG (206% in 5 days), and on VFC (100% in just 24 hours).
Of course you want to find these excellent opportunities.
Along the way you need to skip over the pit of despair, the trap waiting to suck you in.
Monday at 2PM EST, I'm going LIVE to show you EXACTLY how it works.
