April 9, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

By Lucas Downey, Contributing Editor, TradeSmith Daily With the first quarter in the books, it’s a great time to sharpen our pencils, jot down what we learned… and consider what could lie ahead. We’re asking the history books a few questions today: 1. As we enter Q2, which sectors historically hold up the best? Given my latest love for the Energy sector, will it turn out to be a good wager for the next few months? Read on and you’ll find

Stocks Just Chipped a Tooth on the Steering Wheel

April 8, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

Thursday’s intraday reversal was odd… But rarely something to fear… Commodities take center stage in Trade Cycles… Jobs report delivers some “good bad news”… Jonathan Rose hedges the mini-bloodbath for as much as 500% gains… Earnings must deliver all good news this season… By Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily Stock market investors were happily plodding along in their station wagons on Thursday.

This Could Break the Banks… and the Election

April 7, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

Note from Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily: There’s little substitute for experience, especially when it comes to markets. That’s why, whenever I need a grounded and fact-based take on the macro level, I turn to Louis Navellier. Louis has been a market operator for over four decades, and in that time has demonstrated not just a deep understanding of what makes the global economy turn, but the best opportunities to make market-beating returns within that economy. Today, I’m sharing a recent piece

Stop Driving Your Car Without Brakes

April 6, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

Note from Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily: In a three-hour period last Thursday, all of the unrealized portfolio gains I saw over the course of a week evaporated before my eyes. It was uncomfortable, to say the least. But I didn’t panic sell. Because I know that letting your emotions guide your investing is about the worst thing you can do. This experience got me thinking about this essay from our CEO, Keith Kaplan, who demonstrates perfectly how to avoid

The A.I. That’s Always with You

April 5, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

Get ready for the “death of smartphones”… Energy continues to outperform… What the A.I. future will need more than anything else… Biden’s tight spot on gas prices… Trading the market of today to outlast whatever’s coming tomorrow… A can’t-miss earnings report drops in 9 days… By Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily Ask 10 Americans what A.I. looks like right now, and nine of them will probably describe something like ChatGPT. Less often they’ll mention image creation models like DALL-E… and there’s

April 4, 2024Lucas Downey

It’s always interesting and fun to look back at the recently concluded quarter to see which stocks really killed it. To be honest, the quarter’s big winners are often stocks I’ve seen multiple times in my quant system’s screens and analysis. Sometimes, though, I scratch my head.

The Cost of Greed

April 3, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

There was a moment, not too long ago, when the suspiciously fidgety, mop-topped, sloppy-dressed Sam Bankman-Fried was the wunderkind king of the crypto world. His trading platform, FTX, was worth tens of billions of dollars. He was worth tens of billions of dollars. And whatever he touched turned to gold.

Research Review: The Latest from Freeport Society

April 1, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

By Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily I showed you at the start of 2024 how American investors overwhelmingly buy American stocks, shunning most anything outside our borders. And for the past decade and change, that’s been a good bet. On the whole, U.S. stocks have well outperformed any other global market. Though, that tide has spent many years going out. A reversion to the mean may be in the cards… and soon. To play this trend, you can buy ETFs of certain country
