Hello, Fellow ChartWatchers!

Another week, another record-setting close in the major indexes. With the S&P 500 ($SPX) up over 13% so far this year, investors are seeing gains far beyond what CDs or money markets can deliver.

The stock market may seem to be a complex and risky beast, but here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. You don’t need to spend hours buried in company reports or economic data just to make investment decisions. What you do need, however, is the right approach and the right tools.

The hardest part of investing isn’t picking a stock or ETF. It’s taking that first step toward understanding the market. That means learning to:

  • Spot the overall market trend.
  • Know which sectors are outperforming.
  • Identify strong stocks and ETFs before they make their big moves.

That’s exactly what StockCharts is built for. With our range of charts and tools, pre-created ChartLists, customizable scans, price alerts, and insights from experts, you’ll have everything you need to track the market with confidence.

Right now, new members can get TWO MONTHS FOR FREE. That’s double the time to explore everything StockCharts has to offer. We usually offer just one month free, so this is a limited-time opportunity you don’t want to miss.
