for our FREE SERVICE for registered users: Stock plays, Chart Studies, Educational Reports, Trading Advice, etc. 

MarketGems"Marketgems Earnings Plays Trader" is a  DAILY newsletter for the "Long -Term day trader and, market willing, the Short-term trader (1-5 day holding period) which takes advantage of a very profitable and unique market niche that is virtually untapped by most traders -- the earnings play. Aiming to be educational, PROFESSIONAL and profitable, the Marketgems Earnings Trader Daily Newsletter contains 7 trading ideas on average each trading day for Stocks and Options. The plan includes exactly where to enter (if skewed by gap ups, our moderators available throughout the day and intraday updates will alert you). We are not bulls or bears per se, but offer a neutral panorama of the market and do a lot of sector hopping (i.e.  semiconductors, banking, retail, brokerages, healthcare, biotechnology, oil, and building sector.)

Each piece of information in the Marketgems Earnings Trader is new, every day. This daily service employs the Marketgems method of trading which has stood the test of time from 1996. Support systems such as the “Marketgems Education Center” and "The Marketgems Real Time Trading Forum" can be accessed as part of the Marketgems service (no services to add on that you don't need but pad the price) within the marketgems education center and should be read thoroughly,

Who uses this service? Position traders, Swing traders, and Longer term daytraders (scalping strategies are not our niche every service out there offers that generic strategy) who want stocks that will MOVE and move in the time frame allocated to them. Our unique leading strategy is the REVERSAL PERIOD TRADING METHOD for EARNINGS PLAYS which show "anticipatory upswing" or "anticipatory downswing" up to 2 weeks in front of their earnings report and of course the MOMEMTUM plays from previous earnings plays that enter our "permanently traded" list until the next earnings report.

Our plays are updated about 5 times daily and e-mailed to our subscribers  These updates offer valuable insight and individual stock commentary to each of our plays and are for traders who can't be or don't want to be hooked into a trading room all session. Often, stops are adjusted and alternate entries are given. Moderators are available throughout the session in a real-time trading room, in addition to the e-mailed updates, for any discussions of our focus trades and any changes that might occur due to morning gaps.

Our newsletter includes an earnings commentary, daily. The commentary is followed by a detailed, custom-charted and annotated “watch list” which includes the trading ideas for the next 1-3 days.   Each trading idea is described each in depth, with charts, criteria, and education. Sometimes we might offer 2 time interval charts to show detail and offer a unique visual insight into that particular trade .Each play’s support/resistance area criteria is given directly on the chart diagram. Following the criteria is an explanation on the criteria that might make this a quality trading idea.
