May 18, 2024Michael Salvatore

In March 2020, one hedge fund manager took on an obscenely risky position to leverage a unique moment in history.

May 14, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

Lucas Downey, Contributing Editor, TradeSmith Daily If you haven’t heard, utility stocks have been climbing at a breakneck pace lately. Stories have been emerging that this value area of the market is benefiting from AI and the added energy use that’s benefiting power producers.

The Hardest Part of Trading that Nobody Talks About

May 11, 2024Michael Salvatore

By Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily For most people, trading is a cold, lonely game. This was just as true even before the pandemic shut down the world… eroding the simple idea of “community” that we all took for granted.

Yet nobody talks about how agonizing it can be

May 10, 2024Keith Kaplan
