A 'Double Bullish' Signal From the Power Gauge By Marc Chaikin, founder, Chaikin Analytics Plenty of unsettling news could've wrecked the market in recent weeks... But instead, stocks keep building on the uptrend that began in April. I'm sure you've seen some of the negative headlines... Several weeks ago, the media sounded the alarm on rising bond yields. And a lot of investors worried about high government spending. Then, protests in Los Angeles made national news. You probably saw the coverage of the National Guard in the city. And then, a war broke out between Israel and Iran. The U.S. got involved with bombing Iranian nuclear sites. Iran then launched missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar, which were intercepted. If you only watched the news, you would think all this chaos would crush the market... And yet, the S&P 500 Index has been soaring. It hit a new all-high on Friday. The index is up an incredible 24% from the market bottom in April. Year to date, it's now up about 5%. Folks, the uptrend has continued for a simple reason...   Recommended Links: 'The Biggest Investment Breakthrough in Our History' Wall Street legend Marc Chaikin is unveiling his biggest breakthrough ever: a new way to see which companies using AI and other tech innovations could double your money...

Gold Prediction: $5,000 per Ounce or Higher Is Coming Everything in the news now lines up perfectly for an epic bull rally in gold. JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs have a price target of $4,000. And one analyst's research tells him gold could surpass $5,000 in the coming months. Folks using a very specific gold strategy since the '80s could have made more than 60 TIMES their money. Today, you can take advantage of a similar setup for around $10. See how here. Stocks Have More Room to Run The U.S. economy is in solid shape. All the negative headlines didn't change that. Sure, social unrest and war in the Middle East are unsettling. But on their own, these things don't hurt American businesses until they have material impacts. To be fair, Iran could have caused a surge in oil prices by attacking shipping routes. But cooler heads prevailed – and both sides agreed to a ceasefire. Now, both the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index are making new highs. And the Power Gauge sees more upside ahead... Regular readers know that we measure the S&P 500 with the SPDR S&P 500 Fund (SPY) in the Power Gauge. And we measure the Nasdaq 100 with the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ). Today, SPY and QQQ both earn a "bullish" rating in our system. In fact, SPY has held a "bullish" rating since late May. And QQQ has held a "bullish" rating since earlier the same month. That's a "double bullish" signal from the Power Gauge. And it's one worth paying attention to. Again, it means our system sees more upside ahead. But it's not the only "double bullish" rating from the Power Gauge you need to take note of. And this type is a bit different...
