We reviewed some of our past trades and discovered that we've won 9 out of the last 11, which is one of the strongest winning periods we've ever had in this particular class (where we have a 1-for-1 reward/risk relationship).

Dividend Growth Investing – Recorded
Dividend Growth Investing – Recorded
This class discussed year-over-year income increases to diversified dividend portfolios, during an inflationary era and how it's important for DGI practitioners to keep track of that information at the end of each year to see if they are on track with their goals. We also discussed a famous athlete who had investments stolen in a fraud and how we as self-directed investors have an edge in that regard. We then got into a head-to-head match-up within the Financials sector.

Factor-Based Swing Trading – Recorded
Factor-Based Swing Trading – Recorded
This class reviewed the Factor Selector to find some pretty big movements. Low Size in particular has really jumped in the rankings with several days of recent outperformance from the Russell 2000. We have seen many of the "risk-off" factors fall in the rankings due to the market's nice bullish sentiment to start this calendar year, thus far. We reviewed three new swing trades at the end of class.

Top-Down Trend Trading – Recorded
Top-Down Trend Trading – Recorded
This class reviewed the Sector Selector to find quite attractive rotations over the past month. Many of the defensive sectors (like Utilities and Staples) have fallen on a relative basis, and many cyclical areas (like Discretionary and Communications) have risen. This suggests that the market's risk appetite is much stronger today than it was for most of last year. We concentrated today's trade ideas in the Communications sector.

Options for Long-term Investors – Recorded
Options for Long-term Investors – Recorded
This basic options class discussed the recent options expiration and how our portfolio has slimmed down tremendously due to a number of our positions going to max gain. We also have the odd challenge of finding companies that are still appropriately priced after the market has had a sizable rally this calendar year. Our head-to-head matchup was between a REIT and a Staple (two sectors underperforming recently).

We also discussed an interesting flash crash situation that affected a handful of stocks on the NYSE this morning. Our head-to-head match-up was in the Consumer Staples sector.

Today's class discussed stop losses and some of their weak points, in light of yesterdays software/data glitch at the NYSE causing all kinds of chaos with well known stocks.

Top-Down Trend Trading – Recorded
Top-Down Trend Trading – Recorded
This momentum-based trend trading class discovered on the Sector Selector that our growth-focused sectors have finally swung into the Top 3 rankings once again: Discretionary, Communications, and Technology. Meanwhile, defensive sectors like Health Care, Utilities, and Staples are at the bottom. That suggests risk appetite is strong across the broad market. We focused on the Financials sector with our trade set-ups today.

Options for Long-term Investors – Recorded
Options for Long-term Investors – Recorded
This basic options class discussed the long-term business owner mindset and why a DGI practitioner typically needs to learn how to do the hard things in order to have exceptional results. At the center of that conversation is being willing to be a contrarian when most people around you aren't. An independent mindset comes in handy for most long term investors. We focused on a Staple vs a Utility in today's match-up.

This swing trading class discussed the sharp market rally since the beginning of the year.
