The big indexes are split up and down at the moment, and I’m sensing some concern over this out there. Tonight we’ll get to the bottom of the “worry or opportunity?” question. There’s plenty of weight to the “opportunity” argument. We’ve seen the NASDAQ reclaim and reassert its leadership over the l
Sure, I get it: You’re searching for the best, soundest stocks to buy in the market. You seek that secret sauce that will make you profitable heading into 2025. What you may not know is that it's not necessarily about fundamental or technical analysis. It's all about a handful of mega-cap stocks, an
It’s not looking great for the bulls - not that I’m complaining. Divergence continues to grow - weekly gains for the NASDAQ, losses for the Dow30 and S P 500. The advance/decline line of what’s going up versus what’s going down continues to decline. The usual suspects in the Magnificent Seven were d
We’ve been spending time on fundamental analysis, which is really the absolute best way to get a handle on a company’s medium- and long-term prospects. Is it worth your money? That’s a question this kind of analysis can help you answer. Last week, we looked at free cash flow. In tonight’s video, we’
S P 500 - up. NASDAQ - really up. Dow30… down. When the big indexes or usually correlated assets stop moving together, that’s divergence, and it usually means something’s happening. Tech was absolutely screaming today, still pushing higher on Google’s “Willow” quantum computing narrative and overall
We've seen a big shift in sentiment over the past few sessions, with players moving from enthusiastically bullish to increasingly concerned with downside risks in the market. There’s no denying we’re extended way up here near the highs, and, at this point, I’d welcome a couple of weeks of sideways p
The S P 500 had its worst day in three weeks as it drifted lower by more than 0.5%. That number isn’t necessarily anything to write home about, but I’m seeing some things happening behind the scenes that, potentially, are ominous. Last week I gave you a signal from the volatility markets that we cou
This is a weird market - and not funny “weird.” It’s like a really impressively tall house of cards… with a super-shaky foundation. Traders are clearly bullish about AI (what else is new?), the possibility of rate cuts, and earnings. But we’ve been hitting these all-time highs on the back of some of
In this morning’s Live Chat session, we talked about free cash flow. (You can check that session out below). I know, “free cash flow” doesn’t sound like a thrill a minute, and it certainly doesn’t generate headlines, even in the financial media, the way that mergers and acquisitions, innovative prod
