The Stock Market Isn’t the Economy: Why I Don’t Waste Time on the Fed

Hey traders,

Earlier today, I was talking with Rollie about how I took a week off from the market — didn’t read the news, didn’t watch the news. Nothing. And you know what happened when I came back?

Not a damn thing.

Same old, same old. Mumbo jumbo about the Fed, chatter about the election, and even some Taylor Swift headlines thrown in for good measure.

But the truth is, none of that really matters when it comes to trading.

The Fed made their announcement, but what actually changed? Nothing. The stock market popped for a minute, then settled right back into place. Same goes for the news about non-farm payroll, CPI, and all that other noise.

Here’s the thing most people don’t get: The stock market is NOT the economy. Maybe that used to be true years ago, but it sure as hell isn’t now.

You see, we’re in a stock picker’s market — a place where individual stocks matter way more than what Powell or anyone else is saying.

And that’s where my winning strategies come in handy.

They help me and my followers focus on the strategies that tilt the odds in our favor, no matter what nonsense is flying around in the media.

I’ve been doing this for decades now, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the less you pay attention to the noise, the better off you are.

Next time you hear someone talking about the Fed or some report, remember this: Stick to what works, ignore the hype, and let the profits roll in.

Remember, there’s always a great options trade out there. So, instead of wasting your time glued to the Fed’s announcements, stay free and focused on finding the trades that will put money in your pocket.

Trade well,

Jack Carter
