In addition to our main role as a top-down financial market strategist with a US focus and a global scope, we have always produced some specific trade ideas in individual assets. However, we started doing much more of this in 2016 because, with the S&P 500 only gaining 1.4% in 2015, we wanted to add more value for subscribers.
When we put out a new idea it is included in one or more of our various reports and also is entered into a table of all active and recently closed out trading ideas which resides in our Research Center, including stop loss levels. We send an email notification to subscribers and interested investors whenever one of these targets is met.
With 3 weeks left in 2016, the list below is the result of a simple search of the phrase “target met” in the Research Center of our website. There are 25 entries listed from newest to oldest.

Our process is to pick assets that, according to our own internal process, 1) have a strong likelihood of a sustained move in our expected direction while 2) showing exceptional risk/reward characteristics. However, investing is a risky endeavor and previous results may not be indicative of future performance. As such, no inferences are being made and no guarantees of profitability are being stated by Asbury Research LLC.
