CPI Thursday - Earnings Friday - What to expect - I traded $MARA - Market update 1-10-23
I bought $MARA. Others bought $PRTY and we traded live on Youtube. I also went down a rabbit hole of watching other Youtube live traders. What a mistake that was. Don't ever pay money for trade alerts, to be part of a group or to have someone tell you how to make money. That's how they make money - not by trading. I'll teach you how to trade for FREE here through he podcast and you can get my algorithm FREE when you sign up for Trendspider.

Be patient in to earnings but if cpi data later this week indicates inflation is coming under control (remember the White House always hints at it if it’s bad) - we should see it go up until a fed person knocks it down
Bostick - fed gov - brought the market down saying - the fed will go ahead and keep raising

Cheap stocks that should pop later this year - Market update - 1-9-23
$SPY is going to be in a range but it's not giving a clear signal. Earnings start this week so if you want to wait, be patient. If you want to buy stocks - buy stocks that are cheap, make good products or services and have solid cash flow.

I go over the seasonality of $SPY and what we can expect in the first few weeks of Jan.

A sample $10k portfolio to start out 2023 with - Market update - 12-30-22
I start the episode off with a look at bonds - super unexciting, but in the new year, I like what I see and Fidelity offers such a great way to buy them and view your solid backstop.
I also do a sample $10k portfolio after I go over the charts on the scans from Trendspider. Get the offer on Trendspider below - it ends soon.

Optimize your taxes is the same as a 20% trade - Market update -12-28-22
I sold 6 figures worth of losses in these stocks yesterday and sold gains to even out to zero gains. It's painful to lose money, but because I got caught in some long trades that didn't work out well, I was able to take some gains in stocks that have worked out well. I can then redeploy that money in 2023 in to sectors and stocks that are working.
Remember - I’m 52 and I’ve held more

Vz - might be time to look at it … trading at same price it’s been in 2007 and 1997 where it was trading at 17 times earnings … it’s now half that … looks like maybe a good trade and maybe a hold for a while

Top stocks picks for 2023 - Market update - 12-23-22
Here are the stocks that are top picks by Wall Street for 2023 and their 2 year performance.
$GOOG - 2021 - up 67% - YTD - down 39%
$AMZN - 2021 - up 1% - YTD - down 50%
$AAPL - 2021 - up 33% - YTD - down 25%
$MSFT - 2021 - up 52% - YTD - down 29%
$META - 2021 - up 24% - YTD - down 65%
With all of this down - they have been named as top picks for 2023 by many Wall Street firms
I look at $SPY and why there's no confirmation to buy in to this market right now.
$CLF - higher steel prices - lower cost - I was wrong - catalyst - moves to a $20 price target
$tsla - elon says absolutely no stock sales in 2023 and maybe not 2024 - great spaces that I listened to yesterday … it was amazing and had such great content
Stock buyback doesn’t make sense until they see the depth of the recession.
He also stands by his prediction that tesla will be the most valuable company in the world
$gdx for Jackie on Instagram
$nflx branching out and offering $nke fitness classes and this is bearish for $pton
Someone on spotify asked me about options …. I don’t trade options but many listeners use my swing price targets to trade options
$Tsm may set up European factory
$Kold is still going strong - $boil to $8
Futures dropped off after durable goods orders and personal spending down - every piece of bad news means recession - every good news means the Fed will continue tightening - you just have nothing that can be viewed as positive in the economy.
.4% increase in income - .1% in cost of goods meant we have a .3% in real income increase.
