Dear Traders, Happy inflation report day! At 8:30am ET, the CPI numbers came out and they were 9.2% more than anticipated, like 0.2%. Reaction was quick in the premarket, with a sharp drop of over 2%, but as I write these words, the recovery seems to be equally quick at the Open, with all the … Read more
Dear Traders, I hope you are having a better day than I am. I got really chopped up at the Open and had to unfortunately take some heavy losses. You can watch the recap that Brian and I posted here. Tomorrow is when the CPI figures for January will be released, and they will tell … Read more
Dear Traders, I hope everyone had a good weekend. We have recorded another episode of AfterHours with Traders. At your convenience, please take the time to view it and in particular let me know what you think about Brian’s colored socks! Today, we executed some excellent trades on BABA, AMD, and PTON. You can watch … Read more
Dear Traders, The chaos around tech earnings surprised everyone. Brian was in the office yesterday and he said that in the last 30 years he has been trading, he has not seen such earnings volatility. This morning, SNAP and F were very nice to Brian and I, and we made some great trades on them. … Read more
Dear Traders, Today, Brian and I executed two amazing trades on Facebook, both short and long, and booked superb profits! You can watch our recap here. Unlike Brian and I, Zuck is having a bad day. Yesterday, Meta (previously known as Facebook) reported their earnings, and for the time ever, their number of active users … Read more
Dear Traders, This morning, my trading took a hit with some overtrading on $AMD. I traded outside of my TradeBook and did not stop when I should have. There is a lesson to be learned in that. Brian also unfortunately did not have a stellar day. You can watch our recap here. The most noticeable … Read more
Dear Traders, What a January! I never thought I would miss 2021, but I certainly did – until last week that is. Friday, before the Close, we experienced a big rally with all indexes closing green for the week (except for the growth sector represented by IWM). Today, the market tested the low of the … Read more
Dear Traders, The market certainly sold off at the Open today but it has reversed significantly by the time I am writing this newsletter at 11am ET. Market volatility has been so high lately that it is challenging to write some commentary with any sort of confidence during market hours! Brian and I each had … Read more
Dear Traders, We had some amazing trades today in the chatroom including a short on TSLA and a reversal on AMD. Please watch the recap that Brian and I posted here. TSLA has reported some very interesting earnings, and although they had record profits, the overall fear of supply chain issues has taken them down … Read more
Dear Traders, Today, the market gapped down again and traded lower. Yesterday, it went down as low as 5% for QQQ, while reversing and closing almost green for all indexes. What a volatile time we are trading in! Brian and I traded a nice reversal around 10:15am ET on QQQ and IWM. You can watch … Read more
Dear Traders, I hope everyone began the day – and the week – nice in this volatile market! Brian and I were able to make some great reversals on Indexes. Brian took TNA for the reversal of IWM and I took SPXL and TQQQ for the reversal of SPY and QQQ. For the latter, an … Read more
Dear Traders, The global bond market sell off paused yesterday as it seems not all central banks are keen to increase interest rates. The Bank of Japan Governor stated that “Raising rates is unthinkable.” Similarly, the European Central Bank President said they have “…every reason not to react as quickly…” The market quite liked this … Read more
Dear Traders, Interest rates are rising, and that impacts the profit margins of banks. The lower liquidity means money is not as cheap as it used to be, and investors try to avoid high value companies (which often are focused on technology and represented in QQQ). As rates go up, banks’ profit margins go down, … Read more
Dear Traders, I hope everyone had a great long weekend! We are launching into the earnings season with some big volatility this week. The market sold off heavily as interest rates and the yield on 10-year Treasury bonds (the benchmark for the risk-free rate) rose to around 1.82%. The bears are having fun while the … Read more
Dear Traders, I was recently asked by a website to comment on the issue of when it is best to trade stocks and when it is best to trade index funds. In short, my response was that for day traders, it is better to focus on index funds and leveraged ETFs when the overall market … Read more
Today started very slow, but in the end it turned out to be a very volatile day. As I write this, the market has bounced back from its early morning losses and Brian and I (and hopefully you) were able to make some nice trades. Thanks to Jarad, I traded LCID and NVDA while Brian … Read more
Dear Traders, What a crazy day to start the week! Ardi, Brian, and I discussed in our weekend AfterHours with Traders that increasing interest rates this year will both strengthen the USD and put selling pressure on high-risk assets such as crypto and overvalued technology stocks (that are mostly represented in the QQQ index). Ardi … Read more
Dear Traders, If you were not live in the chatroom this morning, here is a link to the recap that Brian and I posted earlier today. You’ll see how we traded a bounce on QQQ and BABA. In addition, Aiman and Simon have uploaded their weekly REPLAY video that can be seen here. If you … Read more
