How Last Week’s AVGO Trade Saved Us From Monday’s Bloodbath

Jack Carter | January 29, 2025

Hey Traders, Did you see that market crash on Monday? Of course you did, everyone did. Tech stocks got wrecked. And I mean wrecked! One of my favorites — one I’ve traded dozens of times — took an absolute beating. I’m talking about AVGO. But before I walk you through the trade I placed on […]

There’s Always An Opportunity

Jack Carter | January 20, 2025

Hey Traders, Markets are closed today for the MLK holiday, so I wanted to review something we talked about last week. Early last week I told you the market is at a turning point. With the SPY, DIA, and QQQ all flashing warning signs, I’m no longer a bull on the broader market. But that […]

One Day Does Not a Trend Make

Jack Carter | January 16, 2025

Hey traders, If you’ve been paying attention this week, you already know things have been a rollercoaster. On Tuesday, I warned you about what I’ve been seeing in the charts. The SPY, DIA, and QQQ were flashing signals that we’re at a critical turning point — and I told you I’m no longer a bull […]

Update: Stocks That Stayed Strong During the Selloff

Jack Carter | January 2, 2025

Hey traders, Remember that big selloff we had last week after the Fed meeting? Markets tanked, and chaos was everywhere. But if you’ve been following me, you know that’s when I go hunting for strength — looking for stocks that can hold their own even when the markets are falling apart. Last week, I gave […]

Why I Avoid Gaps (And How They Can Mess with Your Trades)

Jack Carter | November 29, 2024

Hey Traders, Today, I want to talk about something I’ve mentioned before in a broad market context, but it’s worth repeating: gaps. That’s when a stock suddenly jumps up — sometimes on earnings, or maybe a change in management… Or sometimes just because of some wild, emotional reaction to news that doesn’t really make much […]

Turning Market Turbulence into Income

Jack Carter | November 11, 2024

Hey Traders, If you’ve been watching the market lately, you know it’s been a wild ride. We’re seeing swings that have some traders biting their nails and others grinning from ear to ear. Now, most people look at volatility and think, “Stay away,” but I see it as an opportunity — especially when it comes […]

Don’t Get Complacent: Why Big Rallies Can Lead to Big Pullbacks

Jack Carter | November 8, 2024

Hey Traders, If you tuned in yesterday, I shared some ways to lock in your gains and protect yourself after a big market jump. After all, it’s not every day you see the Dow pop 1,300 points right at the open. But here’s the thing — just because the market rallies doesn’t mean we’re in […]

What Motorcycling Offroad Taught Me About Market Volatility

Jack Carter | September 25, 2024

Hey traders, When I told you yesterday how fly fishing is a lot like trading, it got me thinking about my other hobby: riding my Honda Transalp motorcycle through the Colorado backcountry. There’s something about taking my bike offroad — navigating the rugged trails, dodging obstacles, and dealing with unpredictable conditions — that’s a lot […]

The Fed, Seasonality and Sticking With What Works

Jack Carter | September 18, 2024

Hey traders, So the Fed made their long-awaited announcement today. But as I’ve said before, did anything really change? Sure, there was a bit of a pop right after the announcement. All three indexes did it. And with the SPY and DIA already hovering near their all-time highs, it gave both enough of a spike […]
