This CEF Provides Exposure To The Best High-Tech Names With 7.7% Yield - Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (NASDAQ:QQQX) | Seeking Alpha
This is a very good article about a closed end fund which includes the growth of the Nasdaq along with a great dividend due to covered call writing. The stock has beaten the S&P 500 in the past 5 and 10 year periods in total return. The 7% quarterly dividend that is supported through call options can be a good return in a flat and volatile stock market. I try to maintain around 50% of my portfolio in dividend paying stocks and bonds, and I will consider adding QQQX to my portfolio in the future.

TransCanada - A Long-Term Growth Opportunity - TransCanada Corporation (NYSE:TRP) | Seeking Alpha
TransCanada - A Long-Term Growth Opportunity - TransCanada Corporation (NYSE:TRP) | Seeking Alpha
Here is an excellent article on TransCanada. The company is growing its infrastructure as well as its stock price. It is a very significant pipeline company for oil and natural gas, and the long-term prospects are great. TRP has a good 4% quarterly dividend in addition to a capital gain or more than 50% from the 52-week low. Because of the company's vast natural gas pipeline structure in the U.S., TRP will certainly gain as we burn less coal and switch to more natural gas. I am planning to buy TransCanada very soon.

The Biggest Uranium ETF Is Up By 25%, While Uranium Price Collapses. How Is It Possible? - Global X Uranium ETF (NYSEARCA:URA) | Seeking Alpha
The Biggest Uranium ETF Is Up By 25%, While Uranium Price Collapses. How Is It Possible? - Global X Uranium ETF (NYSEARCA:URA) | Seeking Alpha
This is an outstanding article on the state of the uranium industry. Everyone is aware that we will be using more uranium in the future, but we currently have a glut of uranium supply just like the situation with oil. The article talks about falling uranium prices while a pickup in demand is supposed to be just around the corner. The uranium ETF, URA, has risen 11% in the past month, and Nexgen Energy is up 59%. I bought NXGEF today because I think it can go higher. So, uranium stocks might be profitable in the long term if you are willing to ride out some volatility.

Here is a great article on the quarterly results of Broadwind. I bought shares in the company today as soon as I saw the quarterly report. BWEN is unmistakably growing along with wind energy. Now is the time to get on board especially with the rest of the stock market being lackluster.

Debt-To-Equity Oil Bankruptcies And Hedge Fund Investing Suggest Oil Price Floor, Industry Rebound | Seeking Alpha
Debt-To-Equity Oil Bankruptcies And Hedge Fund Investing Suggest Oil Price Floor, Industry Rebound | Seeking Alpha
This is a very good article about how the bottom has probably happened for the price of oil. Production of U.S. oil will continue to decline through 2017, and this will gradually diminish the oil surplus. Investors are already getting long on oil because of the light at the end of the tunnel. If you wait until the oil surplus disappears, you will miss out on the oil price rise.

4 Fixed Income CEFs To Protect Against 'Rising Interest Rates' (Yield Up To 9.3%) | Seeking Alpha
4 Fixed Income CEFs To Protect Against 'Rising Interest Rates' (Yield Up To 9.3%) | Seeking Alpha
This is a great article about fixed income CEFs offering yields between 7% and over 9%. The author focuses on short-duration holding CEFs with high yields. All of the CEFs mentioned pay their dividends monthly. So, you get constant gratification that you are making money each month. It is also unlikely that the general stock market will beat these yields since stocks are at a market top. You will also have gut-wrenching volatility with stocks because everybody knows that stocks should go down, and yet powerful forces continue to keep the market afloat because they do not want to kill the golden goose yet!

The Last Innings Of An Aging Bull Market | Seeking Alpha
Here is an outstanding article about the state of the stock market. As the author stated, the bull market has gone on for so long that hedge funds have been demolished since nobody can predict where stocks are going next. The 2015-2016 chart of the Dow shows a clear market top downtrend like 2000-2001 and 2008-2009, and yet the market refuses to go down. It is rallying toward new highs instead.

Fibonacci Calculations
Home - Fibonacci Stocks
A lot of information exists at Fibonacci-Stocks.com, but I want to talk about Fibonacci calculations today. Trends occur frequently in the stock market where the S&P 500 or another index might go in an upward direction without any significant drawback for a long period of time. When a peak occurs which is followed by large correction, you can then analyze the pattern that just occurred.
For example, the S&P 500 fell to 666 in 2009 at the close of the last bear market. From a low of 666, the S&P 500 went to a value of 1219 in 2010 almost uninterrupted. A downtrend occurred from 1219 which ended the previous uptrend. So, 100% of the uptrend happened between 666 and 1219. The stock market in 2010 continued the downtrend until it reached 1010, and this happened to be a 38.2% retracement of the previous uptrend. Since the market reversed to another uptrend at 1010, the retracement cycle was completed at that point. The lesson that we can learn from this is that a 38% retracement is a buying opportunity if we are not in a bear market. Interest was also low in 2010, and stocks will grow when interest is low.

How Far Will Stocks Fall? - SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) | Seeking Alpha
How Far Will Stocks Fall? - SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) | Seeking Alpha
This is an outstanding article by Eric Parnell which explains the ups and downs of the stock market. Fibonacci pattern retracements occur often, and Eric has done a great job of explaining these movements. Whether you believe in Fibonacci numbers or not, Wall Street has enough investors who do abide by the numbers to make it a predictable sequence that should be observed.
Since we do not know when the market will fall, we need to apply these principals to tradeable bottoms rather than tops. In other words, if we see stocks falling hard, we should note the last significant peak and figure out where a 38.2% retracement from the peak would leave us. Then, we could buy quality stocks or ETFs at this probable bottom. If we are in a recession or bear market, the bottom will be somewhere near 50% or 61.8% from the top.
