Dear Traders, The crazy market volatility is continuing with a lot of potential for traders! I am back in the office now before returning to Dubai for our big meetup. Please RSVP your attendance here! Ardi from Canada and Aiman from Russia will be joining us for the meetup. The outcome of the meeting between […]
Dear Traders, I am flying back to Vancouver from Dubai today and missed trading, but once I am home, I will be trading from the office and getting ready for a week of mentorship at Peak Capital Trading. This morning, Thor and Brian traded live, and both had a good day. You can watch their […]
Dear Traders, The market is amazing for traders these days! I am so happy that I survived to see all this volatility! QQQ ripped higher – over 7% in one single day! TQQQ is up over 23% in one day. The inflation numbers came in better than expected, the USD is dropping, and the market […]
Dear Traders, Elon Musk is perhaps the most stressed- out person in the universe. After having to buy a declining social media platform with massively overpriced stock, his Tesla shares are also losing value. Tesla made a new low this morning, toward $187, before bouncing back. Brian and I made an amazing short on it […]
Dear Traders, I am writing this newsletter from Croatia. It is a beautiful part of the world and I have been enjoying some running and visiting. I am sorry about missing trading and recaps last week. It was because of my travelings and our Florida meetup. Thank you to everyone who joined us at our […]
Dear Traders, My favorite 2021 trading incident was the GME short squeeze, when retail traders on the WallStreetBets’ Reddit all came together and squeezed GME from $5 to over $120. Melvin Capital, the fund that was primarily shorting GME, was destroyed, and Robinhood and many other brokers had to halt trading. Today, GME started running […]
Dear Traders, This is the best market I have traded in over the last five years. I know that 2022 has been a very hard year for investors, as the bond market is down 60%, stocks are down 30%, and there is no real safe haven for Wall Street, but trading has been amazing. The […]
Dear Traders,Zuckerberg is in a bad mood these days. His company is now worth almost the same as it was worth in 2015, trading at around $100 per share. META is down nearly 75% from its highs of $380 per share in the summer of 2021. Today, META gapped down over 20%. He is spending […]
Dear Traders, President Xi Jinping of China solidified his leadership over the weekend at the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, a gauge of Chinese stocks listed in Hong Kong, saw its biggest decline after any Communist Party congress since 1994. Meanwhile, the onshore yuan fell to […]
Dear Traders, It is a difficult time for many social media users. Snap missed big earnings again and has plunged over 35%. META, the parent company of FB, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is also trading lower, back down to its 2017 levels. Today, my trading included some scalp on my side on TQQQ and NVDA, and […]
Dear Traders, What a crazy market! 2022 has been a tough year to trade in for almost everyone, including me. If your spouse or partner asks about your 2022 trading results, show them this tweet of mine. Today, I started trading with some bad results on TSLA, but ended up with some amazing runs on […]
Dear Traders, NFLX surprised everyone! A business that everyone thought was dying instead added 2.5m new subscribers and surged over 14% today. I traded it nicely; Brian lost on it. You can watch our recap here. The Bear Bull Traders leadership team recorded this video for you regarding the Fort Lauderdale, Florida meetup. Only a […]
Measuring Trading Performance So how did your trading go today? And how does that compare with yesterday and every day last week and last month? Some traders would answer those questions in terms of dollars gained and dollars lost. Others would measure their performance in percentages. Some might even think in terms of how their […]
Dear Traders, The market has given us another crazy and volatile day. What a day to be a trader! The market gapped up and traded stronger, and I personally traded TSLA, TQQQ, and AMD. Brian took TQQQ and RBLX successfully. You can watch our recap here. Amazing NEWS! Our Florida meetup is almost sold out. […]
Dear Traders, The inflation report for September has come in and it indicates that inflation last month was hotter than expected (albeit hot inflation is not really news anymore). The market gapped down significantly, over 2%, and everyone was anticipating a big meltdown again, but the market bounced back strongly and is now trading almost […]
Rule 1: Day trading is not a strategy to get rich quickly. Day trading looks deceptively easy, so one of the most important lessons you can learn, regardless of your level of experience, is that you will not get rich quickly by trading. It is not the same as gambling or playing the lottery. Brokers […]
Dear Traders, The market continues to be volatile, but choppy, meaning volatile and directionless moves. Today, I had a very nice short on TSLA and then flipped the position on long and profited both ways. I then experienced a series of small losses on TQQQ, AMD, and SOXL. You can watch my recap here. Tonight, […]
An often neglected or disregarded aspect of trading is the development of a proper “business plan”. Do not get this confused though with your daily trading plan (the “if-then” statements you develop each trading day) and what I will soon be describing as your trading framework. Every business needs a business plan. Day Trading is […]
Dear Traders, The market is experiencing another volatile day. It sold off heavily at the Open, but bounced back around lunch time. As I am writing these words, the market is almost flat, but who knows how it will end. I suffered a heavy loss trading a bounce on stocks in the semiconductor sector (e.g., […]
Dear Traders, What a crazy and volatile market to trade in. We have just learned that the US economy created 263,000 jobs in September. Not only that, but the unemployment rate also fell further, down to 3.5%, while expectations were for it to remain at 3.7%. This means that the economy is solid and strong, […]
