Markets change character over time, but people do not. And we are certainly creatures of habit. The S&P and QQQ have more than doubled from the March 2020 bottom and for only one month have closed below the previous month’s low. Naturally, we all get accustomed to trading long. As of mid-January, SPY is down […]

Do you know exactly what you need to do to make profitable trades, but find yourself repeatedly getting in your own way?

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, […]

Dear Traders, I hope everyone had a great long weekend! We are launching into the earnings season with some big volatility this week.

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 […]
