Dear Toolbox Readers,

Hello Everyone,

This week we want to discuss something called the Investment Rate. It is a study that looks at the financial implications of the "life cycle".

Essentially it comes down to figuring out at what ages people are most likely to be investing in the financial markets.

77 million baby boomers have been loading the markets with cash every week for decades. Now that they are set to retire, are they going to start selling to live off the assets?

Some people think so.

In fact Thomas Kee presented this in a report he produced and sold through Reuters for $300.00 to institutional investors. You can have this report for free in the "member bonuses" section of the desktop toolbox.

Be sure to take a look at it.

The long-term implications of the boomers selling to live off these assets can be staggering and there are some strategies that you can use to protect yourself.

This Week for Traders...

This week gave us a big red candle on the charts and we expected a pullback from the recent big gains.

It seems that the VIX index has come down a bit and I don't hear anyone talking "write downs" or SIVs and CDOs anymore.

Could this mean that the markets are going to calm down a bit. I suspect that it will since earnings season has passed and things seem to be getting back to "normal", whatever that is.

The longer term trend is still down, but the shorter term outlook would seem to present some opportunities.

Of course the Research Lab will always find some big movers, so become a premium member and check it out.

In any case, every Monday morning you can get a complete weekly market analysis in the desktop toolbox written by Jeffrey Brewer. He is one of the smartest traders we know and also develops software to help people trade.

Just open the Toolbox, go to the finance portal section and click "Market Analysis" in the left navigation links.

Jeffrey will break down all the major indices and give his personal outlook for the week ahead.

This weeks biggest gainers were...

and Now, This Week for Investors...

We have 5 DOW stocks in positive territory and 17 of the NASDAQ 100 up so far this year. There have been some impressive gains on the NASDAQ with Celgene up a little more than 26%. Yahoo is up 25% but we all know what that's about. BEA Systems is up 18% so far and there are a few more minor winners.

The real story is on the downside. There are dozens of stocks that are down more than 10% so far this year and many down 20-30% or more.

This might be a time to look for some bargains in the trash bin.

GOOG for example is down from a high of $747.00 to a mere $516. This one time high flyer has lost some of it's shine, but the magic still seems to be there and people love the brand. You might want to keep an eye on the chart for a good entry set-up.

The complete list of DOW30 and NASDAQ 100 stocks are ranked by YTD percentage gain in the desktop finance portal and updated every day.

Remember, Buy & Trade... Never Buy & Hold.
