Ignore the Fed

You may not remember that the Fed was hiking interest rates at the start of 2018. I didn’t, I had to look it up… I’m actually pretty proud of the amount of numbers and dates my brain keeps sorted and ready for pretty much instant recall. At the same time, I try not to be […]

A Pirate Walks Into a Bar…

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel hanging off his belt. Bartender: “what the heck is that for?” Pirate: “Drives me nuts.” That’s exactly how I feel everytime I see an average American tell some nightly news interviewer that inflation is a huge problem – it drives me nuts.  Because the simple […]

AI Stock To Buy Now

I Just Bought 140 Shares of Snowflake (SNOW) at $207.63.  Here’s Why… Artificial Intelligence (AI) stocks had a blockbuster 2023.  Nvidia, the chip maker went from $148 to $617 a share.  Microsoft (MSFT) went from $219 to $403 and many smaller AI stocks ramped up triple digits before profit taking pushed them down again. But […]

We Have a Breakout

Jamie Jawbones the Market There are always negative storylines out there that can feed the bearish mindset.  Right now, there’s war in Ukraine, war in Gaza… China’s economy has real problems…the path for the Fed to cut interest rates is uncertain as the latest inflation readings were not particularly good…commercial real estate is a looming […]

India Rising

India is China Circa 2006 One of the major investment themes here at Pro Trader Today is the global decoupling from China.    The idea is that the supply chain debacles of the covid years coupled with the autocratic hand of president Xi and the ongoing tech feud with the U.S. means that global multinationals are […]

Chart of the Week: Here is Who Wins When Mortgage Rates are Falling:

Mortgage rates may have peaked.  The Federal Reserve could start cutting rates as soon as March.  Ally Financial (ALLY), an auto lender, was up 10% on Friday after beating its earnings estimates and announcing a sale of its point-of-sale business for $2.2 billion.  If rates continue to drop it will be good for lenders.  Just […]

How Safe Is Rivian Stock?

You’ve probably seen footage from the coldest parts of the country: Teslas abandoned on the street because the lithium-ion batteries can’t hold a charge when it’s wicked cold out. It’s not a very good look for the electric vehicle (EV) sellers that are seeing weakening demand growth anyway… EVs lose close to 15% of their […]

The Davos Man Can Suck it

The Davos Man Can Suck it This is the worst week in the financial year, by far.  This is the week where the high and mighty, the self serving elite together with their groupies gather in Davos, Switzerland.

"An Amazing Turnaround"

It’s really cold out and my dumb dog won’t come inside.  We actually got a freeze down here in southern Georgia last night. The mid-day temp still hasn’t broken above 40. And Maxie is sitting outside waiting for her walk. I’ve told her several times “it’s g%d&$#$m freezing out and we’re not going anywhere” but […]

"If I Weren't Nervous, I'd be Worried"

Late last night, the U.S. and the U.K. fired over 100 missiles at 60 Houthi targets in Yemen. I’m sure you’re well aware that the Houthis have been using drones, rockets and even small ships to indiscriminately attack cargo ships in the Red Sea for over a month now – it’s about time the U.S. […]
