Inflation. Interest rates. Earnings. Conflicts. Pullbacks. It’s a little overwhelming. There’s so much going on right now that Luke Downey and I decided to add a second Power Trends+ video this week.
Read nowBy Lucas Downey, Contributing Editor, TradeSmith Daily So often, investing is unexciting… mostly passing time until a special situation lands in your lap. But those exciting times do come around. And when they do… saddle up. Because those golden-hour moments don’t hang around for long. A great example was when the investing crowd, feeling defeated by a prolonged correction, couldn’t imagine a breakneck rally last November. However, in TradeSmith Daily, we saw a monster opportunity shaping up. And that marked a significant
Read nowWe’re enjoying big gains by owning the highest-quality stocks in the market for medium and longer-term holding periods, but there are smart people – and systems – that can also make money by spotting shorter-term opportunities. Today, I’d like to turn Power Trends over to CEO Keith Kaplan to tell us about some TradeSmith indicators that use data and analysis to better spot these opportunities and earn impressive returns from them.
Read nowJoe Biden’s loan forgiveness campaign continues… War drums beat ever louder… “Sell in May” season may have come early… Protect yourself with defensive stocks and quick trades in the Age of Chaos… By Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily Canceling student loans will probably wind up as the most inflationary policy of Biden’s presidency… full stop. It will assure a longer, more painful inflation fight and terminally higher education costs for everyone… in exchange for the short-term benefit of a relative few.
Read nowNote from Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily: Like it or not, the U.S. presidential election is now less than seven months away. Thus far, the fight between President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been quiet. But according to my colleague Louis Navellier from our corporate partner InvestorPlace, chaos is building in the background. History shows that investors need to prepare for the months ahead. Just, not in the way you might expect for
Read nowNote from Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily: TradeSmith CEO Keith Kaplan owes much of his success to two hardworking, loving, and influential people: his parents. As Keith shares below, his folks weren’t wealthy. They had to scrape and sacrifice to provide for him and his sister – even spending 10 years in one of the most dangerous school districts in the U.S. just to get a chance at a better life. But these principles, among others, showed Keith what it takes for anyone
Read nowOne of the four most exciting times of the year for investors kicked off yesterday as the biggest banks in the country reported quarterly results. What’s that you say? Earnings are confusing… even boring? Yeah, I can see that. But I’m enough of a stock nerd to love earnings season. And I’m enough of a quantitative analyst to want as much data as possible to make the smartest decisions… and make the most money.
Read nowThree months of hot inflation unfortunately do make a trend… Taking stock of the money supply… Interest rate hikes might be making inflation worse… Trade ideas for the months ahead… The perfect timing for a prescient call… By Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily Another month, another disappointingly high reading in the Consumer Price Index… And another day of pearl-clutching price action in the U.S. stock market, as traders bemoan the likely delay of rate cuts. Here are the highlights: The S&P
Read nowRollercoasters seem to be one of those love ’em or hate ’em kind of things. Personally, I’m a huge fan – of the amusement park ones, that is. But whether you like those or not, we all hate the inflation-interest rate coaster we’re riding right now. On Wednesday, consumer prices rose more than expected. Down we go. Today, wholesale prices rose less than expected. Ahhh… a smoother stretch. We’ve been on this ride for two years now – since March 16, 2022 – and you can see the ups and downs in the S&P 500 along the way.
Read nowBy Lucas Downey, Contributing Editor, TradeSmith Daily A.I. excitement is everywhere you look… And I’m not just talking about ChatGPT. Analysts have touted countless use cases for artificial intelligence, even in off-the-run areas like cybersecurity, health care, and trucking. When you sit and think about it, is it really a hard stretch to assume that A.I. will impact a lot of industries for the better? Certainly not… But, don’t get too carried away dreaming of a world where A.I. powers absolutely
Read now“Rate cuts, rate cuts, rate cuts!”… But here’s what to do if the chant doesn’t work… Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan Chase are prepared for 8% rates… Bitcoin breaks out (this time for good?)… Election year gets weird starting May 1… By Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily Say it with me… “rate cuts.” Now say it three times, like Geena Davis in Beetlejuice. That’s how traders seem to be treating the idea of lower interest rates. Trying to will them into existence by
Read nowThe response to stocks you would like us to analyze has been phenomenal. We’ve been impressed with the tickers you’ve sent us. Some are quite well-known; others less so. And in each case, we love jumping into the numbers, analysis, and the scores from the Quantum Edge system.
