We’re going to do something a little different today. 

My colleague Lucas Downey and I love analyzing your requested stocks using the Quantum Score and showing you exactly what makes a high-probability investment opportunity. 

But given the swirling headlines and volatility so far this year, we wanted to take a moment to discuss what’s really going on with the market in today’s Power Trends+. There’s a lot of noise right now with headlines about tariffs, Russia, and Ukraine pulling the S&P 500 down 5% from its all-time high in mid-February. 

We’ll walk through a few studies and historical data that should help ease your fears. Both Luke and I are optimists, and fortunately the data backs us up. 

Watch the video above to learn more about today’s market and why it’s not all doom and gloom for the future. 

I hope you follow us over at TradeSmith Daily, where we’ll continue to feature the Quantum Score and stock rankings. Keep sending in your tickers or any comments and questions to [email protected]. 

Talk soon,

Editor, Jason Bodner’s Power Trends
