Two Sectors Setting Up For Summer

Hello Trader, This was a shortened trading week. It started with a bang. A peace deal with Iran hit the wire minutes before Sunday’s futures open. Stocks exploded higher on the news. Here is what happened next. More importantly, here is where the real opportunity is setting up right now. Stocks drifted lower into Wednesday’s close. Traders got a clean reminder that the day after Fed Day matters more than Fed Day itself. Then Thursday delivered. Stocks rebounded hard and finished near the highs of the week. Tech and industrials grabbed the headlines. Two quieter sectors are waking up underneath them. Those are the ones worth your attention this summer. And here’s why. The AI Trade Is Spreading The first sector on my radar is uranium. I have flagged it recently. I will say it again here. Uranium is the next phase of the greater AI trade. Chips and data

You Were Told About the Dip

Hey trader, Last week threw everything at the bulls. Geopolitical tension, a hot inflation print, and a record-breaking IPO all hit at once. None of it stuck. Stocks closed the week green. The internals got stronger underneath the surface too. That matters more than the price action by itself. Here’s the value in the next few minutes. I’ll show you which sectors actually led, why that leadership matters more than the headlines, and where I see crude oil and rates heading into summer. When bad news fails to produce bad outcomes, the market is telling you it wants to go higher. The crowd kept waiting for the floor to fall out. It didn’t. Everyone seems terrified right now. I’m not complaining about it. Someone always has to take the other side of the trade. The fearful crowd keeps handing that edge to the bulls. Tuning Out the Noise Performance Leader

How I Built My Own Portfolio From Literally Nothing

Hey trader, I started with no finance connections and a pile of student loans. I built a real portfolio anyway. Today I want to show you the exact framework I used to pull that off. You can copy it step by step. I was born and raised in Michigan, far from the finance culture of New York or Chicago. Chasing those cities for a job was never the plan, and neither was staying here locally, yet here I am. Like a lot of people in my generation, I left college owing money. It was not one of those scary six-figure horror stories you hear about on the news. I owed somewhere between $35,000 and $40,000. I was already a licensed stockbroker before I graduated. I was hungry to prove myself. Motivation alone does not make you a good trader. So here is the problem I had to solve. I needed

Should You Buy The Dip?

Hey trader, Last week ended with a gut punch. Stocks got slammed into the close as profit-taking ripped through the high-flying growth names. Tech took the brunt of the damage. What slipped under the radar were the other sectors that quietly caught bids while everyone watched the carnage. Here is why that matters for your money this week. The selling was one over-exaggerated rotation. The underlying trend has not changed one bit. Stick with me. I’ll walk you through what the sector internals are flashing. I’ll show you exactly how I’m thinking about positioning around it. Near-Term Pain, Long-Term Gain The tech wreck opened the door for other sectors to step up. Here is where the leadership landed across the timeframes that matter: Performance Leader 1-week 30-day YTD 1-year Sector Energy (XLE) Healthcare (XLV) Energy (XLE) Technology (XLK) Whenever energy climbs back into the picture, a healthy dose of caution

Mega-Cap Tech Rotation is Key

Hey trader, The winning streak is finally over. Stocks rolled over last week and the bears are already taking a victory lap. Before you decide whether this is the start of something ugly or just a healthy reset, there is one rotation you need to understand. It decides the fate of this entire bull market. I’ll walk you through the ten stocks that control the tape. I’ll also show you exactly where I’m putting money to work right now. The jobs market came in stronger than expected last week. The market read that strength as a greenlight for a more hawkish Fed. Broadcom’s earnings did not help the mood. The stock gapped down double digits and dragged sentiment lower with it. The sentiment surveys still show more bears than bulls. Friday’s selloff will only embolden that crowd heading into next week. Resets like this are exactly what the market needs

Tech Only Tells Part of the Story

Hey trader, Stocks ripped to fresh all-time highs again last week. Every major internal confirmed the move. Even the rally’s loudest skeptics are coming around now. The easy money phase is winding down. The party is far from over, though….There is more to it than tech simply leading… A rotation kicked off inside the sector last week, and it points straight at the area I would be buying right now. Here’s what I see. Intra-Tech Rotation Accelerates Performance Leader 1-week 30-day YTD 1-year Sector Technology (XLK) Technology (XLK) Technology (XLK) Technology (XLK) It has been a while since I have seen a sector leaderboard this clean. Technology leads across every timeframe that counts: It does not get more bullish than a clean sweep like this. This will not last forever. For anyone who tracked the building strength here, it is total vindication. Bear markets do not begin when technology leads

Why I Make More in 2 Weeks Than in 2 Months

Hello Trader, Have you ever noticed that many traders will make their entire year in just a few months or even weeks? Heck, some folks make the entire decade in less than a year… …and it’s the secret sauce to my long-term profitability. Some people like to call it luck. Statisticians call it the “Fat Tail.” And no one took it seriously until 1987 – October 19 to be specific. Now, you’re probably familiar with or have heard of fat tails before. But what I’m about to show you will change the way you look at the market forever. Why the Bell Curve Lies to You Most financial models lean on one comforting assumption – market returns follow a neat bell curve. In that tidy fantasy, most days look about the same. Truly extreme moves are supposed to be almost impossible. Real markets do not cooperate. They have fat tails.

Can Bulls Find a Use for Utilities?

Hey trader, Stocks capped off another impressive week going into the holiday weekend. Now it’s straight back to business. Weekend headlines pointed to deal progress with Iran. Equity futures have hit new all-time highs across the board, much to the dismay of the doom and gloom crowd. It doesn’t get more bullish than new all-time highs. This rally is making its mark in the record book. That doesn’t mean we can completely ignore the internals though. One specific signal from last week is worth your attention as we close out May. Today, I want to walk you through what utilities are telling us right now. I’ll cover why it matters more than the headlines suggest. Then I’ll show you how to position yourself if a pause is coming. Are Utilities Warning of a Pause? Performance Leader 1-week 30-day YTD 1-year Sector Utilities (XLU) Technology (XLK) Energy (XLE) Technology (XLK) Since

The Trap That’s Killing Your P&L

Hey trader, Every trader I know has done this at some point. The market pulls back. Your P&L turns red for a couple sessions. Immediately, you start thinking, “What if I had taken profits sooner? What if I had tightened the stop? What if I had skipped that one entirely?” That voice in your head is the most expensive habit in trading…That voice costs real money. It pulls you into a trade-off nobody talks about: Accuracy versus big winners. One is much harder than the other. And it hides the real question you should be asking…Do you actually have a method? Or are you just reacting to your own P&L? Here’s how you can tell the difference. What A Method Actually Is A method is a set of rules you follow whether you feel like it or not. That is the whole definition. There is nothing fancier going on underneath

Friday Finally Gave the Bears a Bone

Hey trader, Stocks ripped to fresh all-time highs again last week. Then Friday hit, and the bears finally got their first real session of the month. Bond yields ripped higher. Energy ran the table for the second time in three weeks. The market’s internals flashed weakness underneath the surface for the first time in a long while. That matters. None of this changes the bigger picture. The bull trend is intact. And data still favors buyers. The rotation happening right now is the most important thing to track this week. Today’s letter walks through what the scorecard is telling us and which sectors I want to see step up next. I’ll also share the exact level on Nvidia that would make me start listening to bearish calls. If you’re sitting on cash waiting for a dip, this is the setup to plan around. More Bearish Energy, Less Bullish Momentum Performance
