Each and every weekday evening, in the 'Current Touts' section of Rick's Picks, we publish Hidden Pivot targets and detailed strategies to guide traders and investors the following day. But it is in the chat room, in real time, and in the Intraday Notes section, that some of the most useful and valuable price forecasts often appear. Yesterday, for instance.

By implication, the price targets sent out to you at night reflect only a small fraction of the power of Hidden Pivot analysis. By further implication, if you tune only to the Touts section of the newsletter, you will miss out on some of the really
