What better proof that Hidden Pivots work than the existence of a trading group that steals and uses them religiously every day? These guys have been doing it for quite a while, but when they denied me access to their discussions recently, it was as though I’d shone a flashlight on a bunch of cockroaches, sending them scuddling into the greasy recesses of denial. Instead of copping to brazen copyright theft – or, heaven forbid, apologizing — their first instinct was to find out who in the group had ratted them out. (Note to all of you: There are a probably a dozen in your room whom I need only ask politely to find out what the rest of you evidently would break the law to hide.) Ironically, one of them had lectured me about his “Christian value cores” [sic] when I booted him out of my own chat room long ago for a variety of reasons, one of them related to honesty. He apparently needs an Old Testament refresher – specifically, Exodus 20:15: “Thou shalt not steal”.
Some of the regulars in this clandestine group have taken the Hidden Pivot seminar that I offer each month — a six-hour course designed to free graduates from ever having to ask some “expert” what he thinks about the market or a certain stock. The proprietary methods of technical analysis that I teach are not rocket science, as anyone who has taken the course could tell you, but the specific techniques continue to evolve in enlightening and amazingly useful new ways. For instance, I have been emphasizing “camouflaged impulse legs” in the weekly tutorial sessions I hold for seminar grads during market hours every Wednesday. (Click here for a free demo.) Once you get the hang of spotting these subtle tell-tales, you’ll never trade the same way again.
Pirate’s Dilemma
I had approached the founder of the chat room, one of my first students years ago, thinking his group might want to bone up on some of my latest techniques, including camouflaged impulse legs. Trouble is, when you steal intellectual property, you become reluctant to update your knowledge because you’ll be found out if you go to the source. Like software pirates, these guys are passing amongst themselves antique copies of my training manual, unaware that I’ve added 50 dynamite pages of completely new material.
Much as I try to encourage the free exchange of ideas and information in my own chat room, I stop short of letting outsiders filch my daily trading recommendations so that they can share them with their friends. However, if you have a hankering to learn some of my techniques the honest way, just click here and send me a message with the words “Worth Stealing” in the subject line. If you’re a new subscriber, or someone returning to Rick’s Picks after a hiatus of at least three months, I’ll give you the best subscription deal we’ve offered in years. And if you’re interested in the February 25-26 seminar, which is already half-full, mention it in the text field and I’ll have Marilyn send you all of the information you need to sign up, along with a free Hidden Pivot calculator.

Rick, I have been a subscriber for only a few weeks, and I plan to stay a subscriber. I think it’s worth every penny. Keep up the great work. Dennis
Dear Katy,
1. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
2. In this current environment, there are abundant circumstances extant to piss off even the pope.
3. If you intend to be a successful trader, keep an open mind.
4. Nobody likes to be robbed.
