Focused on the Fed on Wednesday
Stephen | December 12, 2022
The market is up a little bit today! Let’s talk about it… This week, we’re going to have another Fed rate hike (on Wednesday). Now, most of Wall Street has moved past the shock of Powell doing his thing. They’re more focused on the recession and how Powell talks about the future after the rate […]
How Will the Market React to the Rate Hike?
Stephen | November 1, 2022
Tuesday morning, and the market is going to open a bit stronger today. Everyone is expecting a rate hike tomorrow. The market has adjusted to that. The issue will be what Chairman Powell says about his policy Wednesday afternoon. Let’s chat about it: We know the market is gonna move; we just don’t know which […]
Big Earnings Day Today
Stephen | October 25, 2022
Today’s a big day of earnings! Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) and Coca-Cola (KO) both reported this morning and both looked really strong. Now, it’s onto the tech stocks… Don’t expect anything too big. Don’t expect anything too bad. That’s why I’ve been calling this the “big little week.” Stocks can still make big moves on earnings, which […]
The “Big-Little” Week in Earnings
Stephen | October 24, 2022
Earnings are coming up this week. This is the “Big-Little” week. Big because AAPL, GOOG, MSFT, AMZN are all reporting. Little because there’s not a lot of market movement supporting it. Let’s chat about it. My earnings season advice: don’t try to read too much into the earnings themselves, just look at the reaction of […]

Stephen | October 14, 2022

It’s almost like investors were saying, “we’re tired of playing this game.” But make no mistake: we’re still in a bear market. So here’s what you have to do to keep your head in the game and stay ahead […]
Preparing for Thursday’s CPI Number
Stephen | October 10, 2022
This is going to be a really big week, folks. The kind of week that makes institutional investors super nervous. The reason? CPI is coming out again on Thursday. And last time that came out, the Dow Jones fell 1277 points on the CPI number. So let’s talk about what to expect this week: This […]
Choppy Markets? There’s One Solution.
Stephen | October 7, 2022
It’s been a wild week in the market. The two up days were followed by several down days, and now we’re down big again on Friday morning. Here’s what to make of it: I’m looking for the S&P to drop down around that 3600 level and maybe even test some lows. Earnings are starting next […]
Be Careful About This Rally
Stephen | October 4, 2022
Hey folks! Happy Tuesday! The markets opened hot this morning, another big up day, but we have to be careful! <iframe src=”//player.vimeo.com/video/756794374?h=ebb0a5fdd6&badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479″ width=”800″ height=”450″ frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen=”” title=”Don’t Trust This Rally”></iframe> The fact is, this volatility can still be a killer. We have to be aware that there will still be huge swings […]
I’m Back. Let’s Get to Work!
Stephen | October 3, 2022
The hurricane is gone, and I have my power back. Let’s get back to work! It’s a soft market right now. So don’t expect the market to stay up just because it opens up. The old expression “buy the dip” works great in a bear market, but the opposite is not true in a bear […]
