5 Big Stocks Ready to Slingshot Higher

BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Yesterday, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke used two of his most powerful weapons: allusion and ambiguity.

Investors had been watching the Fed's actions closely -- after all, with the economy slowing, could we be getting the signal that the Fed is going to kick off QE3? If you ask me, it wasn't likely. In fact, it wasn't likely back in June either, when analysts seemed sure that QE3 was around the corner.

But rather than tip his hand, and show that another round of stimulus wasn't coming, Bernanke opted to suggest, imply, and hint at the possibility that QE3 will be coming around the corner when and if it's needed. You can't blame the man for using the only tools he has right now - just don't fall for the QE3 hype on the next go-around.

Technicals are a study of the market itself. Since the market is ultimately the only mechanism that determines a stock's price, technical analysis is a valuable tool even in the roughest of trading conditions. Technical charts are used every day by proprietary trading floors, Wall Street's biggest financial firms, and individual investors to get an edge on the market. And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time.
