SCOTT WELSH’S ANATOMY OF A GREAT TRADE
Overstock (OSTK)
 

Granted, it’s easy to find trades in hindsight. 

It’s much harder to pick them out in real-time.

Especially during the pandemic in 2020. 

Looking at it now, there are so many trades we could have taken. But that’s totally discounting how scary and uncertain things were then.

It’s one thing to say we could have caught the turn in March 2020. 

But I’d have to see their trading records to believe that people actually thought a Bull Market was starting at that moment. 

That said, there was a patient way to possibly catch a big winner during that period.

By June, if you recall, things had calmed down. By then, we could have probably seen that online shopping could be huge.

We didn’t need to know that, though.

All we needed to do was put stocks on a Monthly chart and then wait for two consecutive closes above the 12-month simple moving average (SMA). 

We didn’t have to know trend dynamics. We didn’t need to know vaccine schedules. 

We just needed to be able to count to two. 

And if we could do that, we could have entered Overstock.com (OSTK) in June 2020:
 

It didn’t look great when the trade started, but it sure ended up great.

And if we decided our exit would simply be a close below the SMA, by the time the dust cleared and we exited in August 2021, we could have ridden OSTK from $18 to $70. 

If we take a long-term perspective, we can be a part of big trends. 

In a nice, relaxed manner. 

Happy trading,

Scott

The Surprising Economics Behind Cryptocurrency Mining
 

Cryptocurrency mining isn't just about computers and coins – it's a world where money, energy, and advanced tech come together in surprising ways.

Underneath all the high-tech stuff, there's a lot of math, competition, and energy use that you might not expect.

So, here's the deal: Cryptocurrency mining is like a digital puzzle-solving race. Miners, using super-fast computers, try to solve tricky math problems.

The first one to solve it gets to add a new block to the digital record and earns some new coins. It's like a modern way of finding treasure, but instead of shovels, it's all about computers.

But there's a twist: Mining isn't just about fun and games. It's also about money and energy.

Miners from all over the world compete to win this puzzle race. They've even built special computers just for mining, which use a lot of electricity. Some miners use cheap electricity to save money, while others go green with renewable energy to help the planet.

Mining needs to be profitable. It costs money to keep those computers running, and the electricity bills can get huge. I’m talking in the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in a month.

But the coins miners earn need to be worth more than the costs. If the price of Bitcoin drops suddenly, miners can end up losing money instead of making it. It's like a tricky balance between spending and earning.

The world of cryptocurrency mining is always changing. Prices go up and down, new tech gets invented, and rules might change. But miners are smart – they learn and adapt to everything that happens.

What's really great is that the way mining works can teach us a lot about all of cryptocurrency. The new coins miners get can affect the prices of all coins, and that's something to think about if you're into investing.

By understanding how cryptocurrency mining works, you're getting a peek into a world of numbers, computers, and coins.

And if you're excited to learn more, there's something awesome waiting for you. 

I just wrote up a report that spills the beans on a secret "Bitcoin window" that pops up near the end of each month. This report will show you how to catch the moves in Bitcoin without needing any special accounts — just the regular brokerage account you already use.

You can grab it for just $5 by clicking here.

Hope you enjoy!
