One of our big initiatives at Cabot this year was to start incorporating video (or video-like technology) into our content. With the explosion of video-sharing sites like YouTube, it has become an increasingly popular medium that you, our readers, are interested in.

Most of our video push has been in the form of Webinars, or online seminars, hosted by our editors. At their most basic, these are audio and on-screen presentations of slides and stock charts. The technology is relatively simple and easy to access, making the Webinars available to almost anyone who wants to watch. And they even have an interactive element where listeners get to ask questions and have them answered live.

Pretty cool, right?

Some of you have attended our past Webinars so you know how useful they are for learning investing tools, gaining insights into stock charts, building a strong portfolio and learning what the market is doing right now. One of the features I really love about the Webinars is that every attendee gets a recording of it emailed to them within a few days of the event, allowing them to go back to specific parts as reference.

Whenever we host a Webinar, we get a lot of questions from people about what to expect technologically, so we had Michael Cintolo, the host of most of our Webinars, make a short preview Webinar to show you exactly what to expect. You can watch it here: http://www.cabot.net/files/webinar/112009-webinar-sample.swf.

If you watched the preview, you know that we’re holding a Webinar next Thursday, December 10, hosted by Mike. It’s called “Movers & Shakers Live: Tactics to Prepare Your Portfolio for Maximum Profits in 2010,” and it will help you determine if you’re holding the most promising stocks, get in and out of the best stocks before the crowd and develop a plan no matter what action the market takes.

In October, Mike Cintolo hosted a Webinar for 150 participants. During his 90-minute program, he analyzed over 30 stocks, stressing the reasons that some charts were shaping up to lead the next leg of the bull market, while others were showing signs that they would likely fail. We were heading into earnings season and he advised his audience to sell their laggards and shape up their portfolios with “liquid leaders.”

Here’s what’s happened since: The market corrected, right on schedule.  Earnings results were released, and as always, some were disappointing, while others were thrilling.  And when the bull market resumed, surprising the man-on-the-street who thought continuing poor employment numbers would hold it down, those stocks with the best growth prospects exploded upwards to new highs!

Mike hadn’t planned on doing another Webinar until 2010, but with earnings season behind us and these explosive breakouts catapulting leading stocks higher, he thought this was a perfect time to take you under the hood, for an in-depth analysis of the market, and its biggest opportunities.

During the Webinar, Mike will present his outlook on the market’s health based on Cabot’s market timing indicators, he’ll identify the stocks that he believes are positioned for the greatest growth and he’ll show you how to position your portfolio for optimum profits though the balance of 2009 and into 2010.

Throughout the program, you’ll learn how to apply Cabot rules and tools so that you know what to do to get the most from each stock, no matter what the markets throw at us. Using stock charts and proprietary tools, Mike will identify patterns, trends, support and resistance levels, moving averages, attractive entry and exit points, buying opportunities and much more.

Some of you may be wondering, “Is this Webinar right for me?”

The Webinar will be valuable for investors of all levels:
If you’re a new investor, you’ll learn skills to get up to speed quickly.
If you’re a long time investor, you’ll sharpen skills and learn new techniques.
If you’re a professional investor, you’ll benefit from another expert’s opinion.

To participate, all you need is a computer to see and hear the presentation.

All this from the editor whose newsletter, Cabot Market Letter, is currently the only investment advisory ranked in the top 5 for market timing over the past six months, one-year and two-year time periods, according to Timer Digest. We’re proud of that, especially the two-year figure, which encompassed the historic bear and bull markets. Click here to sign up today!
