Hey Trader,
Here’s the biggest news this week, how it will move markets, my top stocks to watch, and how you can trade the news…
Today, I am focused on:
- Jerome Powell’s Federal Reserve rate-hike update this Wednesday
- Earnings reports in some of the Magnificent 7 stocks – GOOGL, MSFT, and META… and
- The NASDAQ 100 Rebalance ripple effects this week.
Here’s exactly what you can do:
1) Watch XHB, RCC, and BAM… because if the Fed is hawkish (raising interest) on Wednesday, we could see a move lower. I’ll trade these stocks this week in Nitro Trader when I see the perfect opportunity to get in.
2) Don’t hold options through earnings on GOOGL, MSFT, and META this week. If you had money in these names for rebalance plays – as we did in my Nitro Trader group – take your profit. We will be looking ahead to AMZN with earnings next week. Remember, when it comes to earnings, “Trade to it, not through it – then after.”
3) If you want to trade with me, join Nitro Trader for our housing plays in XHB, RCC, and BAM… Or join us as we trade the ripple effects of the rebalance and post-earnings plays in GOOGL, MSFT, and META starting this week and AMZN next week.
I broke down the full report in today’s clip:
