Hey trader, The 60/40 portfolio is one of the most trusted ideas in all of investing. Own stocks for growth. Own bonds for safety. When one zigs, the other zags. It worked beautifully for decades. Then inflation showed up and broke the whole thing. In 2022, long-term Treasuries lost more than 30% in some stretches.
Hey trader, Has the market bottomed? Was that the high in crude oil? I can hear the cheers from Wall Street all the way here in Michigan. But I’m more of a data over dogma kind of guy. And I wouldn’t be so sure that oil prices have topped out. Energy is the top-performing sector
Hey trader, The inflation trade keeps running hot. Energy stocks are printing money. Even a pullback in crude oil would not change that. Bullish momentum in energy is here to stay. But precious metals caught my attention this past week. Gold and silver both dropped to their lowest levels since early February. This happened while
Hey trader, Stocks sold off again last week. Geopolitical tensions kept pressure on equities, and the Dow led the decline for the second straight week. The Nasdaq sold off the least. That detail matters more than most people realize. I am going to break down what the sector rotation is actually telling us, why energy
Hey trader, Nothing happens in a vacuum. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction somewhere. Even when it is not obvious at first. But if you can identify this path, you’ll know precisely what to do before the next move. The market’s behavior over the past few weeks is a stark reminder
Hey trader, For the last two weeks, I have been watching two markets trade in near-perfect sync. Same peaks. Same pullbacks. Same timing. When they rise, stocks fall. When they fade, stocks bounce. The pattern has been remarkably consistent since late February. Most traders are glued to war headlines and AI-generated videos trying to figure
Hello TheoTrader, Stocks finished lower last week. Fears surrounding the geopolitical situation in the Middle East continue to escalate. I am not discounting the seriousness of the situation. But the market has a knack for picking up on these things before they begin and end. Last week, energy ran the table. Oil prices surged over
Hey trader, The Fed just walked into a trap it cannot escape. Naturally, everyone expects markets to crater. But what if they’re all wrong? Allow me to elaborate. Surging oil prices have slammed the door on rate cuts while the labor market crumbles underneath. Crude oil closed last Friday at $67.29. Five days later, it
Hey trader, It was another wild week for stocks. Given the geopolitical events over the weekend, the market was clearly discounting something important. Global tension could be cut with a knife right now. Here’s what most people missed. The Nasdaq was not the index down the most last week. It was the Dow. That tells
Hello TheoTrader, Nvidia crushed earnings estimates last week. The stock tanked into Friday’s close anyway. Everyone panicked. But they panicked about the wrong thing. Money is not leaving tech. It is rotating within tech. A major divergence has been building across tech subsectors for months. Nvidia’s pullback looks like the match that lights it off.
