I would definitely like a long term trade section. The section
that you had up recently with LNG and GDX was exactly what I was
looking for. That is my preference for trading. I do not have the
time and I make too many mistakes with short term trades.
Mark - we will add long trade ideas when we find them, however
now is not the time, maybe after a 38% retracement of the rally
from July - Now. It would not be prudent to add long
term trade ideas now.
I will be adding a section for those in the future

Matt,
In regards to long term, you've said for a couple years now that
this is a cyclical bull in a secular bear...at what point is this a
"secular" bull? when we go over 1576?
that would help for sure, but I'm just going on time frame and
history, Secular markets tend to last over 15 years. I've
listed them all before
1982 - 2000 secular bull, 18 years
1968 - 1982 Secular bear, 16 years
1950 - 1968 Secular bull, 18 years
1929 - 1948, secular bear, 21 years
1920 - 1929, secular bull, 9 years (shortest)
1905 - 1920, secular bear, 15 years
2000 - ? Secular Bear (ending in 2009 seems too short by
historical standards), so my thought is we go higher in this
cyclical bull maybe even all the way to test the highs, then have
another cyclical bear for a couple years, then maybe that will
finally be it for this secular bear.
just as was mentioned by Matt recently, BPT can put them in the
long term tools section under long term trade ideas. LNG was a
great start, as were some of the Uranium plays. love to be able to
buy 'em and put 'em away for years.

I agree! This site used

I agree! This site used to talk about making a few long term moves over the past 10 years which would have beaten 99% of money managers.
I second that.
