That “PoP” sound from the champagne bottle is for you dear reader.

As we celebrate what’s been accomplished in 2006, we want to wish all readers and subscribers a very happy and prosperous New Year.

Below are links to the posts that received the most views in 2006 – we further edited the list that features strategy examples to those that are currently performing well (as judged by The Odds Maker). Hopefully they will fuel some idea generation on how to take the trades from 2006 to your own next level. If Trade-Ideas and The Odds Maker can help you stick to your trading plan resolutions – your accomplishments will merit many more “PoP”ing sounds next year.

Today covers the first half of 2006, tomorrow we’ll cover the rest:

• Issac Newton’s First Law of Motion: Law of Inertia explains the basics of planetary motion, coach potatoes, and our latest Strategy Session: If a stock makes 100 highs in a trading session it has high odds of getting to 150 or 200 or even 300 high occurances

• Stocks with a narrow range after a market rise can indicate a pause that does not refresh

• Why our 1st Annual Subscribers Conference rewarded everyone who came (and the feedback it generated)

• The Odds Maker grades all of the strategies in our Samples list and reveals which one is working the best. I resolve to create more frequent updates to this post in 2007!
