Power Trends+: Stocks and Markets: Too Much to Talk About in One Video!

Watch now…


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.

We need to start with the market. It’s been a whirlwind week with interest rate uncertainty, more flareups in the Middle East, and some bigger down days than we’ve seen in a while.

Here’s the good news: Bad news isn’t always bad for investors. (Got that?)

In this Power Trends+ video, I’ll give you my thoughts on these current events, and Luke will share some fascinating historical data to show how these events affect the market and what it means for you as an investor.

Here’s the important stuff to focus on: We may not know when rate cuts are coming, but we do know they are coming. Earnings ultimately drive stocks higher, and we’re back in another earnings season. Volatility may have ticked up, but that can be a good time to buy great stocks on pullbacks.

We’ll go over all of that and more in this Power Trends+ video issue.

Then stay tuned for Part Two on Thursday. Luke and I will analyze four well-known stocks and see what their Quantum Scores are and what the data has to say about them. You won’t want to miss it.

Keep those ticker symbols coming. Reach out to me at [email protected] with any companies you’d like us to analyze in future videos.

Most importantly, don’t let the headlines scare you out of stocks. If you want to see my recommendations, including a brand-new pick that’s all over the news and is still below my buy-up-to price, click here.

Talk soon,

Use This Secret Market to Accelerate Your Profits

Everything comes down to the flow of money. The volume of money – literally billions of dollars flowing into and out of these assets – is what really moves prices. I saw this firsthand in my time on Wall Street – how an influx of big money can drive stock prices into the stratosphere. Discovering this made me want to know everything about the trading process. I started with the very exchanges this money flowed through.

Why in the World Would the Fed Say That?

After 10 straight increases, the Fed left interest rates unchanged – the first time that’s happened since January 2022. Yay! But Powell also signaled that we’ve got a long way to go before inflation is beaten, so the Fed said it could bump rates higher again – maybe even two more times by the end of the year. Boooo! So, what do we make of his announcement? And how should we play this with our stock portfolios?
