May 9, 2024Lucas Downey

As an investor, I love hearing about “Woodstock for Capitalists” – Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting where folksy and brilliant Warren Buffett spins yarns, shares insights, and tells shareholders how much money they’re making.

May 9, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

By Lucas Downey, Contributing Editor, TradeSmith Daily It isn’t often that you’ll find deeply oversold opportunities in quality companies near market all-time highs. So, when it comes along, don’t stare… Prepare. As earnings season comes to a close, arguably the biggest downside surprise is Starbucks Corp. (SBUX). The stock is off 18% since the report at the start of the month.  But should we run away from SBUX? Is the world’s most popular coffee shop chain finished? No… In fact, I

May 7, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

By Lucas Downey, Contributing Editor, TradeSmith Daily Now that April is in the books, let’s get a game plan going for May…  Seasonal volatility has markets jumping and dumping on a daily basis.

Big Money Is Buying this Surprise Sector – Including this Stock

May 6, 2024Lucas Downey

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.

How I Solved My Biggest Trading Dilemma

May 5, 2024Keith Kaplan

Dear Reader, Keith Kaplan here. I came to TradeSmith about seven years ago. When I first arrived, our only software was TradeStops. Now, TradeStops is as great today as it was then at solving a huge problem investors constantly face – the question of when to sell. But I was very eager back then to solve a problem TradeSmith hadn’t solved yet… One that customers were constantly writing us about at the time. They were happy that TradeStops told them

A Pit Trading Veteran’s 7-for-7 Edge

May 4, 2024Michael Salvatore

By Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily A little over a month ago, I asked you an important question. “Do you have 15 minutes a day to become a better trader?” I’d bet 99.9% of honest people would say yes. We all have 15 minutes each day for self-improvement. So the question now becomes: How did you use those 15 minutes?

Master Volatile Markets with This Fundamental Approach

May 4, 2024Lucas Downey

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?

Will Flying Cars Produce Flying Stocks?

May 2, 2024Lucas Downey

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.
