More Trading Examples

View the following trading opportunity from the week of January 27, 2003, based on the trigger phrase "raises guidance".

On January 21, 2003, TriggerNews issued a real-time earthquake alert for the magnitude 7.6 earthquake that just hit Colima, Mexico. The general news services did not start reporting on this till hours later. TriggerNews was therefore ahead of all of them.

Now imagine an earthquake of this size hitting, for example, Taiwan with all its semiconductor manufacturing and other high tech companies. Examples of industries that might by be impacted are high-tech, insurance, manufacturing and financial. Getting this type of news immediately may give you an edge to unload your shares before a huge sell-off begins.
