Jan/Feb 2012  Welcome to the first issue of YTE for 2012, which promises to be an interesting time for traders. In the face of global uncertainty and declining markets, traders and active investors with good money management and a taste for education may find some lucrative opportunities unique to those market conditions.
To that end, in this issue’s cover story, ‘The Big Picture’, Glenn Kuppe examines the history of bear markets and takes a step back to assess where we are now in the cycle. Ben Mountifield explores what peak oil means for society at large and the opportunities it creates for traders to profit (‘Profiting from peak oil’).
Currency trading continues to boom off the back of ongoing volatility. YTE welcomes Rob Colville, who shares his most recent currency trading examples. Rob also explains the benefit to performance of a volatile market. Ben Power spoke with technical analyst and educator Malcolm Pryor. Ben will also be joining us as a regular blogger on YTEmagazine.com – be sure to visit our blogs section for the latest from Ben. David Burton paid a visit to the tomb of WD Gann in New York and conducted some Gann analysis at the site, reported in ‘Secrets from the tomb’.
The YTE readers’ survey is on once again. Please be sure to take part in this year’s survey by visiting www.YTEmagazine.com. We would love your feedback on how YTE can continue to meet your trading education needs; the writers and topics you would like more of; and any other ways we can assist you on your trading journey.
Happy reading and profitable trading.
