TheoTrade’s Tale of the Tape: The Odds of a Real Estate Renaissance
It truly is the most wonderful time of the year, not only because of the holiday spirit, but because of the sector leadership movements. Last week saw the real estate sector surge and capture the one-week leader position. I don’t think it’s just because people were home for the holidays, either. Instead, I think it’s…
TheoTrade’s Tale of the Tape: This Inflationary Sector Bounce Won’t Last
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen a nice bounce in so-called “inflationary” sectors. Basic materials (XLB) emerged as last week’s leader, and over the past month, the top-performer is energy (XLE). But if you’ve been tuning into TheoTrade’s live sessions, you’ve heard me talking about crude oil’s imminent collapse. And finally, I think we…
Here’s What the Euro’s Collapse Means for You
While Bitcoin dominates today's headlines, seasoned investors know the financial markets extend far beyond cryptocurrencies. Don't misunderstand - I remain bullish on crypto and have been for months.

TheoTrade’s Tale of the Tape: Bulls Take It to the Bank
There’s a saying in life that goes, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Well, as it turns out, we shouldn’t judge the market solely by the indices either. It amazes me how, after just one week of selling, I’m already starting to see calls for a “Trump slump,” and for stocks to experience a…
Here’s What DOGE Means for Interest Rates
Compared to election week, this one’s been rather quiet as markets digest the announcements of the new administration’s cabinet and policy objectives. Even though this market’s cycle is maturing, remember that, as a rule, any consolidation near the highs of a move tends to be bullish. By now, I’m sure you're familiar with my tendency…
TheoTrade’s Tale of the Tape: Get Ready for Market Mania
After last week’s presidential election and Fed rate cut, the public is paying attention to the stock market again. I can’t tell you how many phone calls and text messages I received from friends and family asking me whether it’s time to get back into the market. Fortunately, you and I, we never left the…
Bitcoin to the Moon, Tesla to Mars
Wow, what a week it’s been! The election is now over, with Donald Trump emerging as the victor. The Federal Reserve also cut interest rates another 25-basis points, continuing the trend of monetary easing. I went into the election 100% long. This was not because I expected one particular outcome or another. I was just…
TheoTrade’s Tale of the Tape: Pre-Election Risk-On Signals
Election week is here, but don’t let that you lose sight of the Fed’s upcoming rate cut on Thursday. As traders, we like to operate under the assumption that the market has a better sense of what’s really going on compared to the news or even opinion polls. The good news is that the sector…
Why the Trinity Trade Will Send Oil to $47
It’s been a wild week for markets between big tech earnings, a nothing-burger inflation report, and a very weak jobs number. Even though the presidential election is dominating the headlines now, let’s not lose sight of the fact that another 25-basis point rate cut is coming next week. If anything, the recent economic data between…
TheoTrade’s Tale of the Tape: Retail’s Rebound
Tesla stole the headlines last week after their earnings report, and its surge higher sent shockwaves across the entire market. Anyone with a 401(k) or any sort of retirement plan likely owns Tesla in some way, shape, or form. Not only is it part of the Magnificent Seven, but it also is owned by countless…
