How to Sell Before a Massive Drop
To close out the trading week, let’s do something a little different. Instead of zooming out and looking at higher-level market dynamics… Let’s zoom in and tell a quick story about a single stock…
“Independent” Market Opportunities Surging
As expected, the Fed held rates steady yesterday. With Powell noting that current rates were not too restrictive based on current economic conditions. Do I wish he had cut rates? Yes. But looking at how the market has been, I’m not too concerned. Not to mention, Powell will be out soon anyway. And...
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...
The Money is Pouring In
Hey, Ross here. Welcome back. Yesterday, I talked about how we are in a target-rich environment for taking trades. Today, I want to show another chart that supports this thesis because it shows that the money is pouring in.
A Target-Rich Environment
Hey, Ross here! Welcome back. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq closed lower for the week – marking the second consecutive weekly decline. This is the “worst” weekly performance since June last year. And yet, as today’s chart shows, we’re in a target-rich environment.
Huge Opportunity in this Beaten-Down Sector?
Yesterday I talked about how to follow the Trump playbook and take advantage of earnings season overreactions. Today, let’s look at one big potential source of these overreaction opportunities.
How to Follow the Trump Playbook in Your Trading
The Greenland and Europe tariffs situation resolved itself much faster than I expected. I’ll talk about Trump’s negotiating playbook – and what we can learn from it – a little later. But for now, with so much talk about the “AI bubble” still floating around, let’s look at today’s chart…
Choppy Waters Ahead?
Volatility is back with a vengeance. What with all the talk about potentially acquiring Greenland “no matter what”, additional tariffs, and now threats from Europe about dumping U.S. Treasuries. So it’s no surprise that many people are seeing choppy waters ahead.
The Rotation is Accelerating
Hope you enjoyed the long weekend. Let’s start the trading week with a chart showing how the rotation we’ve been seeing has been accelerating – and why that matters.
Market Overreactions
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...
The Market Diverged Yesterday (Most Missed This)
