| Editor's note: If you've been following Empire Financial Daily over the past week, you'll recognize our friend and colleague Marc Chaikin, the founder of our corporate affiliate Chaikin Analytics... We've recently been sharing insights from Marc about how his "Power Gauge" system helps him find the best investing opportunities in any market. Today, we're sharing another essay from Marc about how he has been able to find opportunities in the current environment...
I'm Thankful for the Bright Spots in This Market By Marc Chaikin  Folks, I'm sure you're tired of hearing this by now...
But the reality is that most investors have endured a miserable year in the markets. The broad market S&P 500 Index is still down roughly 17% in 2022. And the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index remains down about 28% over the same span. That's a historically bad year. But importantly, not everyone is suffering that much. For example, subscribers to my Power Gauge Investor newsletter are likely thriving. We've closed four positions in the "Industry Monitor" portion of our model portfolio this year. The average return on these positions was around 8%. And the remaining nine open positions in our portfolio are outperforming the broad market as well. They're currently up an average of about 1.4%. Now, that doesn't mean it's time for me to take a victory lap... Most investors would prefer much better returns, of course. But compared with just sitting in an index fund, we've weathered the storm well so far. Put simply, even a handful of winning trades can offset an otherwise terrible year. And by continuing to focus on the "best of the best" opportunities in Power Gauge Investor, we'll keep offsetting the broad market pains that most investors have faced. Now, what does all that have to do with you? Well, it's time for an early Thanksgiving treat... Power Gauge Investor subscribers receive access to the Power Gauge system. In it, they can access nearly every tool I've developed at Chaikin Analytics, including one of my favorites: the Chaikin Ideas panel... In short, this tool allows subscribers to quickly access the top 10 rated stocks listed in specific categories. So with just a few clicks of the mouse, these folks can find many "bullish" opportunities that are bucking the terrible trend in the broad market. And today, let's look at the Best of the Nasdaq category... In this case, it makes the most sense to share a telling tidbit rather than focus on an individual stock... Five of the 10 stocks in the Best of the Nasdaq category are biotechnology companies. Even better, they're not flash-in-the-pan stocks. Most investors would recognize all five of them. Put simply, we've spotted a trend. And using a tool that the highest-level Chaikin Analytics subscribers can access, I've confirmed that the biotech subsector is "bullish" right now. I hope the takeaway is clear... Most investors have endured an awful year in the markets. But that doesn't mean you can't find any opportunities. When the S&P 500 is down roughly 17% like it is this year, just preserving capital can be a strategic win. And the Power Gauge is helping us find opportunities to do just that. Even better, it can help us spot burgeoning trends – that's the case in the biotech sector today. So thank you for joining me on this journey. It's a privilege to be able to share my research with you. And we'll continue using the Power Gauge as a guiding light in this market storm. Regards, Marc Chaikin
November 16, 2022 Editor's note: During a special event yesterday, Marc came forward to share the details about his latest prediction: that we're going to see a historic reset of the U.S. financial system. According to Marc, you likely don't realize what a huge effect this could have on your wealth until it's too late to prepare – especially if you have serious assets in the bank. For a limited time, the replay is available with all the details – and what Marc says to do to prepare for this "reset" – right here.
