Market Wrap – Thursday, May 15, 2025 Mixed Winds with Caution in the Air Today’s session opened with a cautious tone across Wall Street. While MSFT$Microsoft (MSFT.US)$(+0.73%) and the S&P 500$S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$(+0.22%) edged higher, most of the Magnificent 7 struggled to find footing: • GOOGL$Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$(-0.01%) hovered around the flatline after a volatile spike. • AAPL$Apple (AAPL.US)$(-0.15%) and NVDA$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$(-0.64%) dip...
Breadth was mixed on Wednesday. Losers beat winners by a 2 to 1 margin at the NYSE and by a rough 7 to 4 at the Nasdaq. Here's where it gets more than a little odd. Advancing volume took a 41.6% share of composite NYSE-listed trade as aggregate volume across those NYSE-listings decreased by 5.1% on a day over day basis. Negative, but truly without any conviction behind it. Now, advancing volume took a 64.4% share of composite Nasdaq-listed activity despite the 7-4 vic...
$S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$$Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$$Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ The recent market rebound has sparked talk of re-entering - a familiar theme whenever markets surge. You’ll often hear: “Don’t chase rallies or panic sell.” But this isn’t a matter of right or wrong; it all depends on your time frame. For short-term traders, “Trend is your friend” holds true. The goal is to ride momentum, not resist it. In this context, chasing gains or cutting losses isn’t a mista...

Brutal Comparison: Buy and Hold vs Regular Swing vs 2X Leveraged Swing (2024) Gray Line: NVIDIA's price movement (simulated). Dashed Line (Yellow): Buy and Hold: A single, stagnant gain (or loss) at the end of the year. Blue Line: Regular Swing Trading (TD5/TD9): Buying NVIDIA on TD5 and selling on TD9 without leverage. Red Line: 2X Leveraged Swing Trading (TD5/TD9): 2X long on TD5 and 2X short on TD9. The Reality in Brutal Clarity: 1. Buy and Hold is for Idiots: You sit there like a sheep, watching it rise and fall. You only get the final gain or loss at the end of the year. 2. Regular Swing Trading is Solid: You capture profits on the way up. You avoid losing money on the way down (but you make nothing during drops). Your gains are decent but limited by the fact you’re only playing one direction. 3. 2X Leveraged Swing Trading is a Monster: You’re making money both ways (up and down). Your profits are amplified — double on every correct trade. You’re not wasting time — you’re always making money. Why This Matters: This is not a fantasy. This is exactly how a skilled swing trader using 2X ETFs should perform. If you know your indicators (TD5 for buy, TD9 for sell) and you have the discipline to only trade on confirmation, you become a market predator. Buy-and-hold is for weak hands who can’t think, can’t trade, and just pray.

Ah, so Powell speaks today? That explains why it was dead vol yesterday with all that "good" news. S&P turned positive and softer inflation data made me think it was gonna rally.

Great read. That’s why we track vol and Powell. Market cheerleaders love soft data. But the real move was always gonna come from the Fed’s tone.
