I like to know the “why,” but all I need to know is the “what.” My Quantum Edge system tracks Big Money flows in individual stocks and the market as a whole. That’s the “what.” I can see where the money is flowing. As to the why? Sometimes that comes later. That’s where I am right now with the sector seeing a stunning surge in buying – a surprise sector at that.

As a Power Trends reader, you already know that my goal is to take emotions out of investing. The more emotional we get, the more mistakes we make. Well, if there is one thing in investing that sparks emotions, it’s options. People are fascinated, intrigued, scared, confused… and who knows what else. I get it. I spent seven years as Head of North American Equity Derivatives… a fancy title for running an options trading desk. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Options can be terrific investments that allow you to do just about everything. I mean, you can make money on stocks that go down. How cool is that?

Companies big and small are racing to develop the first viable flying car, or eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing aircrafts) as they are now called. One of the companies in the race is named Jetson. I love it. eVTOLs take off and land by going straight up and down, and they can hover – like helicopters and drones. They run on batteries and are so-far designed to carry two to six passengers, including a pilot.

If you invest in the highest quality stocks to begin with – those with the best fundamentals, strong technicals, and Big Money flowing in – you’re likely to do yourself more harm than good by selling and hiding for six months. I dug into FactSet data and compiled the average returns by month for the Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Russell 2000 small-cap index (RUT). And yes, there’s some seasonal weakness in there, but the most volatile month is clearly September.

Music streaming has come a long way since illegal file sharing applications like Napster and LimeWire. Apple introduced its iTunes store and the iPod in 2001, and streaming services like Pandora, Spotify, and YouTube all launched shortly after in the mid-to-late 2000s. Despite not being well-received by the music industry, streaming became the dominant revenue generator for music labels in the mid-2010s. And according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), music streaming now makes up an incredible 84% of the U.S. music industry revenue – a whopping $43.4 billion in 2022 alone. Global music subscribers surged 26.4% during the pandemic to 523.9 million. The leading platform with the largest number of paid subscribers is Spotify (SPOT), which just reported first-quarter earnings on Tuesday and shot higher as a result.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” With apologies to Charles Dickens, his classic opening line from “A Tale of Two Cities” also describes the last five years for Tesla (TSLA) shareholders. The first half was a party as the stock shot 2,500% higher, and the second half has been a long-lasting hangover. Itchy-finger short-term traders may have snagged profits on some of the quick upswings the last two-and-a-half years, but those who bought in late 2022 and have held on are licking their wounds.

I don’t blame you if you’re concerned about the stock market. Today was a little better, but it’s been a painful two weeks for a lot of folks. All three major indexes were down six days in a row through Friday, with the Nasdaq losing 5.5% in that time.
