Editor's note: Longtime readers will recognize this classic Marc Chaikin essay. We've published it a few times over the years... But the message remains as relevant now as ever. In today's market, everyday investors need whatever edge they can find. And as this timeless essay discusses, one of the Power Gauge's most important factors can give you that edge... This is Like Sitting In on Private Board Meetings By Marc Chaikin, founder, Chaikin Analytics Information leaks... The "smart money" buys ahead of major announcements... And analysts at the biggest investment banks have unprecedented access to what's happening. That's just how the world works. There's no getting around it. Now, don't get me wrong... I'm not saying the reign of the "insiders club" is the way it should be. But it's the system we have. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has done a lot to clean things up over the years. But the investing world remains far from perfect. That's why, early in my career, I developed an indicator to track the smart money. It's called the "Chaikin Money Flow." And today, I'll share a bit about this powerful tool... I developed my proprietary Chaikin Money Flow indicator way back in 1982. And to be honest, I'm amazed that it works as well as it does 42 years later. Obviously, I believed it would work when I built it. But what I mean is... I didn't realize the tool would soon become such a major "stock analysis cheat code." You see, the Chaikin Money Flow indicator works so well that hedge funds and billionaire investors now use it. It's even built into the Bloomberg Terminal. And Bloomberg's biggest competitor (Thomson Reuters) uses the indicator, too. This tool focuses on what I call "accumulation." The concept is easy to understand... Recommended Links: Own AI Stocks?

But a few years ago, I landed in an extraordinary position: unmasking a priceless secret from inside Stansberry Research, unfiltered, on camera. In the years since, my ongoing efforts have COST Stansberry nearly $20 million and counting – money that has stayed in readers' bank accounts instead. Today, I'm speaking out one FINAL time. We want to know what the smart money is doing. "Accumulation" is simply the word for that. And as an investing tool, it works better than you might imagine. Knowing what hedge funds and billionaires are doing with their money is like sitting in on private board meetings. This was made incredibly clear to me around 1989... At the time, soft-drink maker Coca-Cola (KO) wasn't a popular stock. The company had released "New Coke" in 1985. As you might remember, the wackos in management tinkered with Coke's formula to try to make it more appealing. They basically force-fed it to consumers. But of course... the public didn't really want New Coke. The whole thing bombed. Within three months, Coca-Cola went back to its original formula. And the event went on to become one of modern history's most famous marketing disasters. Well, in the late 1980s, I noticed something odd in my analysis... Coca-Cola's stock was accumulating money behind it. And importantly, the accumulation was persistent. I learned early on that persistency matters. You don't open a position of 23 million shares overnight, after all. That's how many Coca-Cola shares legendary investor Warren Buffett bought when he established a position through his holding company Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B). And I spotted that persistent accumulation by using the tools I had developed in my career. It was an amazing feeling. I had uncovered Buffett's massive position before it became public, just by watching as a ho-hum stock accumulated cash behind it. Coca-Cola went on to become one of the best-performing stocks of the next decade. It returned around 27% per year over that span, roughly doubling the overall market. Simply put, using the Chaikin Money Flow indicator can help you track the smart money in the market. It's like sitting in on private board meetings. And it's a tool that helps level the playing field with Wall Street. Good investing, Marc Chaikin P.S. Just yesterday, I went on camera to talk about a historic market "splintering" that could either devastate investors' portfolios... Or it could be a goldmine for folks who understand what's happening – and can get positioned.  With my "Income Acceleration" strategy, everyday investors can leverage my Chaikin Money Flow indicator to potentially lock in payouts of hundreds – or thousands – of dollars in weeks.   If you missed the free broadcast, don't worry.
