Inspiration

Trading can be and often is a lonely journey filled with self-doubt. That really doesn’t change even as you cross the divide toward consistent profitability. If you want / need a 5min video that encapsulates the journey toward excellence, you may appreciate this.   It’s not about trading, but threw my work and study, the path to excellence transcends industry or specific goals. Doesn’t matter if your vision is to become CEO of your firm, a pro athlete, or a consistently profitable trader that can make a living on market fluctuations.  Find the 5min video HERE

Pre-Powell Turbulence

The Market has seen some turbulence ahead of the CPI print today and larger picture the FOMC policy decision next Wednesday at 2pm.  As I explain in today’s video  with quite a bit of detail, I believe market conditions  are changing from  easy ( get long w/ FOMC liquidity ) to  hard / choppy ( Fed liquidity withdrawal ).  So traders need to re-orient from auto pilot buy the dip to a more measured approach with more 2 way action.   I think the Ponzi trade is over. Ponzi = high valuation; no earnings.   Then by definition bearish ARK and bubble names, but more bullish quality names with solid earnings support.
