Oil just broke above $80 per barrel for the first time since January 2025. Everyone's acting like this validates the war premium. Like we've finally seen the market "wake up" to geopolitical risk. I'm sitting here thinking the exact opposite. Oil breaking above $80 during the most serious military c
I just wrapped my the Big 3 segment on Schwab and had to share some contrarian thinking with viewers: Everyone's buying this bounce. Here are three trade ideas going the other direction. When markets gap up after geopolitical chaos and everyone breathes a sigh of relief... when "defensive" plays sta
You know how you beat yourself up when your entries are garbage? When you buy the high, sell the low, and feel like you couldn't time a traffic light correctly? I figured out the real problem.

For months, the market's been playing musical chairs. Tech. Financials. Energy. Repeat. But I'm here to tell you something nobody else is saying: The chairs are disappearing. And the music's about to stop. I spent this morning staring at the advance/decline line, and it's telling a story that should
Most traders think this range-bound market is boring. They're wrong. Dead wrong. As I write this, we just smashed through 6850 - the level I've been losing my mind over for weeks.
