It’s a big week for jobs data – starting with the job openings numbers tomorrow. But today, all we have on deck is some manufacturing activity data, which showed surprising growth. That’s a good sign for the economy.
The Perfect Storm is Hitting These 2 Metals and It’s Just the Beginning
Metals are the trade of 2026. Copper, gold, silver — they’re all making historic moves right now. And this isn’t some temporary blip. It’s the beginning of something much bigger. A perfect storm of factors is creating an investment opportunity unlike anything I’ve seen in years. What comes next...
A $10 Trillion Wipeout
Welcome back to a new trading week. Now that January is over, I was planning to talk about how stocks have performed over the month in today’s newsletter.

The #1 Constant in All Financial Markets
The producer price data came in this morning and it was hotter than expected – at 0.5% monthly and 3% annually. Coupled with Trump’s pick of Kevin Warsh, a noted monetary “hawk”, as new Fed Chair nominee this morning and markets have been under pressure.
Everyone Is Wrong About Greenland - Here’s the Trades the Smart Money Is Making
Hey, Ross here — and before we sign off for the year, I want to show you something most traders completely misread. The VIX just collapsed from above 26 to below 14 in a little over a month — a huge shift from high to low volatility. That sounds scary, but history says it’s often rocket fuel for...

But looking at how the market has been, I’m not too concerned. Not to mention, Powell will be out soon anyway. And...

Welcome back to the Wednesday Watchlist. The new market leaders are here… And these are the three names I’m buying.
They Can’t Get Enough of America
The Fed is almost certainly going to hold rates steady today. If they cut again, it would be a massive (though positive) shock for stocks. Even with them likely holding rates flat though, Powell flapping his lips at the afternoon press conference will still most likely send ripples through the...
Disastrous “Daily” Mistake Traders Make
We just got the latest consumer confidence numbers this morning and they came in substantially below expectations.
