Summer's over and it's time to get back to making some money. As promised this morning, we got a new first look at an idea with tremendous growth potential - one we think investors should seriously have a good look at.

The lottery is big business, and it should come as no surprise the most frequently searched word on Google is "Powerball".

TGIF all. It's been a fabulous week for stocks, and now we get to enjoy a nice long weekend. Doesn't get much better than that for investors and professionals out there looking to make some money and get a break at the same time.

Speaking of making some money, we've got a brand new penny stock idea slated for the open this coming Tuesday - now that the entire investing world will be back from a Summer hiatus. And, Tuesday's idea is one we're pretty excited about.

Not only does this particular company have an extremely disruptive business model, it's one that literally everyone out there is going to clearly understand in a very short amount of time. It's clever and it's already starting to garner attention in the consumer world.

It's Hump Day folks and the markets are absolutely ripping higher! I can honestly say I would not want to be among those trying to trade these markets on a day-to-day basis, because it seems anything is possibly from one day to the next lately.

For all of those traders out there though who continue to pick their spots sparingly with a less is more mentality, I'm sure they continue to do pretty well. Those who try and do anything in between have probably had a tough time of it.

Reality is if you buy the dips and sell the rips in a bull market, and then sell the rips and buy the dips in a bear market, you're probably going to be better than most, because that's the mentality/strategy of some of the best traders on the planet.

We're back at it for what will probably end up being a pretty important week for stocks. A lot of back and forth lately, but considering everything we keep seeing here and everything we continue to hear from professional colleagues, it looks like this could be the week the major averages define their future for weeks to come.

The S&P 500 continues to trade in a pretty tight range for several days now. However, the consensus right now is two big days in a single direction could set the tone for the next several days, and maybe even weeks.

All of the recent market speculation comes at a time when precious metals continue to rally in stealth like fashion - something we were talking about developing a few months ago.

TGIF everybody. It's really starting to get to be a broken record out there in terms of what these markets are doing from day-to-day. Same thing over and over again, but it's not going to last long. The major averages are going to make a big move soon, and when they do, the move is going to catch a lot of investors and traders on the wrong side of it.

I talk to a lot of people in the business every day, and the consensus seems to be about 50/50. Although I do trust those who think the markets are going lower soon, the truth is anything can happen.

Economic data says no pain yet. Technical charts say lower levels. Fed says no problems. Earnings say blue skies ahead. Analysts say be careful. All I can say is buy good companies and sit on them. I think Buffett would say the same thing.
