There are two narratives bulls and bears are pushing in financial markets today.
The bears are concerned about the growing number of coronavirus cases, tens of millions of unemployed Americans, and the economy staying shut down for some time to come.
But the bulls think you shouldn't "fight the Fed."
They expect trillions more dollars to be pumped into the economy to boost bond prices, keep interest rates low, and the value of stocks higher.
During his Markets Live stream yesterday, D.R. revealed one chart that shows who's right...

The two most expensive emotions you can have as a human are "anger and pride," according to Money Morning's Quantitative Trading Specialist, Chris Johnson.
And if you have them both at the same time, it can be very destructive to your portfolio.
That's how Chris is thinking about Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) right now as the number of short positions has never been higher on the stock.
It's clear these short sellers have a ton of pride, continuing to bet against one of the hottest momentum stocks on the market (Tesla is up 254% year to date),
And they're surely feeling angry losing money day in and day out to a company that sells a fraction of the cars as the major carmakers, but is currently the most valuable electric vehicle stock in world (with its $280 billion market cap).
So, what should investors do?… Is it too late to buy TSLA stock or should you continue riding this momentum higher?
In this article, Chris will tell you exactly what to do...

Electric car manufacturer stocks are absolutely exploding right now.
The leader – Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) – is up 220% year to date.
But did you know that three smaller (and lesser known) electric vehicle stocks are up even more?

While many investors are still confused as to how the stock market is continuing higher as the number of new coronavirus cases is spiking here in the US, D.R. Barton Jr. may have figured out why…
During his Markets Live stream yesterday, D.R. revealed one chart that explains why the market is ignoring the new COVID cases.
If the data in this chart continues to be positive, that means stocks have an increased probability of trading higher for the second half of 2020 and into 2021.

Investors could become defensive if we don't get up to 3,150 and close above there for a couple days in a row.
To see when we might dip, Chris said to keep an eye on the VIX.
Right now, the VIX below 30 is a positive indicator that investors are optimistic about stocks.
But there are two key levels to watch: the VIX at 30, and then 35.
A break above both would be an indicator stocks could be ready for another correction.
Chris will update Markets Live viewers Monday at 8:45 a.m. on his next real-time broadcast.
Make sure to tune in.
And until then, Chris did give viewers this trade recommendation...

Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) has been in the news this week as over 180 advertisers are boycotting the social media giant.
Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg triggered the exodus last week when he said his company won't monitor hate speech and violence on the platform.
The stock dropped 11% in the two trading days following dropouts from mega-cap companies like Verizon (NYSE: VZ), Unilever (NYSE: UN), Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), and Starbucks (NYSE: SBUX).
Some analysts expect up to one third of Facebook's total advertisers will join the revolt.
So, what do you do if you own the stock? And is this correction a buying opportunity or time to steer clear?
