Licia Won’t Trade Earnings. Here’s What She Does Instead
Dear Trader, Licia Leslie has a rule that drives some traders nuts: She won’t touch a stock before an earnings report. She calls that gambling, so she waits for the numbers, watches where the stock opens and trades what it does from there. Tesla and Meta both report Wednesday night, which gives her plenty to […]
Jensen Vouched. Traders Sold Anyway.
Dear Trader, Jensen Huang stood up in Stockholm on Thursday and told everyone CoreWeave gets stronger by the day. Traders sold it again Friday morning anyway. That’s been this whole week: somebody important says don’t worry, and the people with real money on the line keep right on worrying. Trump keeps saying the Iran war […]
“Buddy, You Ain’t Been Around Long Enough”
Mark opened State of the Market this morning saying “The NASDAQ can sell off. Who knew?” And honestly, after the year we’ve had, I get the surprise. So what happened? You can watch the replay below or check out the wrap up under it: Right before the show, PPI came in hot. Like, really hot. […]
Dimon’s Worried, and He Just Made $15 Billion
Dear Trader, The people closest to the money sound a little jumpy this morning. Jamie Dimon’s bank cleared $15.3 billion in a single quarter, and he still used the earnings release to list everything that could go sideways. Over in Singapore, Broadcom’s CEO said a lot of AI investors might as well be sitting at […]
Where Does the AI Run Go From Here?
Dear Trader, Ray Dalio’s worried about AI. So is a UK strategist who just cut his 2027 S&P 500 target to 5,000. And yet the money keeps coming. Bank of America’s retail clients just turned net buyers for the first time since late July, and Mike Novogratz is telling people to pile in. Most of […]
20 Beaten-Up Stocks Andrew’s Watching Into Earnings
Dear Trader, Mark's bringing Andrew Giovinazzi on today, and Andrew's showing up with a setup he can't stop talking about. His system just flagged about 20 stocks that took a beating this year. Most traders gave up on these names and stopped watching them. Andrew says many are already starting to turn, and earnings season […]
Forget the Anthropic IPO Allocation
Dear Trader, Everybody and their brother-in-law wants a piece of the Anthropic IPO. Most of them won't get shares at the offer price, because those usually go to the big funds and the banks' favorite clients long before you or I get anywhere near a buy button. Mark Sebastian has no plans to sit around […]
Voz Brings a Stock She Loves and One She Can’t Stand
Dear Trader, Andrew Giovinazzi's taking Mark's seat on today's show, and he's bringing Olivia Voz on as a special guest. Voz is showing up with a stock she loves and one she'd happily never hear about again. Her two picks go on the table next to the 10 the team already brought. Andrew's starting with […]
Andrew and Tim Take on a Weak Jobs Print
Dear Trader, The Fed's stuck in a spot nobody wants. S September brought just 29,000 new jobs, and unemployment crept up to 4.2%. Meanwhile, 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields sit at their highest levels since 2002, and Brent oil's back above $100 a barrel. A weak jobs report usually gives the Fed room to back […]
Everybody Signed It. Did Anybody Read It?
Dear Trader, Anthropic wants to go public at a valuation north of $2 trillion, and it handed investors about 80 pages on how its own product could go wrong. I'd bet most buyers skim right past that section on the way to the revenue growth. Then yesterday, the CEOs of the biggest AI companies signed […]
