Dear Reader, CJ here. Investors are jubilant about the market’s one-week rally. CNBC and other media outlets are identifying it as the strongest move in more than a year… and technically their right. That said, a full breakdown of the market’s critical levels and the key sectors to watch over the next week is essential. […]

Dear Reader, October has been quite a month for Bitcoin (BTC) and its crypto friends… So much so that BTC clocked in a better than 30% jump (up from $27,000) in the last few weeks alone. And while many may be looking at the recent “bad news” as a reason for lower prices ahead, I’m […]

Dear Reader, It accounts for almost 20% of the Gross Domestic Product of the United States… It saw a 200% rally followed by a 94% plunge 15 years ago… It serves as one of the better barometers for the economy… And it’s at a familiar-looking crossroads that may be the difference between a bull and […]

Dear Reader, Halloween may be over, but I’m willing to bet that many people still feel this year’s festivities in their bank accounts. You might be, too. In fact,  Americans shattered last year’s record, spending more than $12 BILLION on candy, costumes, and decorations – the most ever recorded, according to the National Retail Federation […]

Dear Reader, CJ here. By my nature, I don't often trade an option or stock position ahead of earnings reports. Why? Well, it's very simple. In general, the market's response to earnings is unpredictable. As a trader and investor, I like predictability. That's why I'm a little surprised that Apple has caught my attention as […]

Dear Reader, CJ here. And we need to talk about this right now… "Markets are on board with the Fed's 'higher for longer' policy, CNBC survey shows." This is scary. Now I don't care IF the headlines are telling you that the "markets are on board with the Fed." In fact, I don't even care […]

Dear Reader, Well, October hasn't exactly shaped up to be the treat we thought it would… As you'll recall, it was only about three to four weeks ago that we were talking about how everything was setting up nicely for what we thought would be a big run up in the market. But that simply […]

Dear Reader, CJ here… The market is officially "hanging in the balance." The current earnings season is failing to spark a rally. Interest rates continue to climb to levels we haven't seen since 2008. For now, the seasonality trade has failed to launch. Now five sectors are giving me an indication that we're likely to […]

Dear Reader, There's only ONE story that you need to focus on this week. It's not the war between Israel and Hamas… It's not Bitcoin's latest move – which is in itself a major story… This week, it's all about the upcoming earnings announcements from the biggest names in the industry. I'm talking about Amazon…Meta… […]

Dear Reader, "HEY EVERYONE… WATCH THIS!!" If you live in Cincinnati, it sounds more like "HEY Y'ALL… WATCH THIS!!" You get the idea, though. The moment that someone yells that in a crowded area, it's impossible not to turn your attention away from what you're doing to watch. A lot of the time, the momentary […]
