$GameStop(GME)$ GameStop's upcoming earnings report will be closely watched, especially after its wild ride earlier this year due to the influence of meme stock figure Keith Gill. With analysts expecting lower revenue and a slightly larger net loss compared to the second quarter of 2023, the company's fundamentals will likely come under scrutiny. The recent lack of volatility suggests that the stock may be stabilizing as traders focus more on the company's actual performance rather than speculative movements. However, if earnings surprise on the upside or the company provides a strategic shift, there could be renewed interest from retail traders and investors alike. Conversely, if results are disappointing, it might

Trading and Investing buy/sell indicators and basis of decisions would be different since one is short term (hours, days, weeks, months) and other long term (years). Buy some to hold long term and some to trade. Market sentiment I think plays when you trade since it is a short term and you have that decision made to trade and you know that the stock was not bought with a mindset to hold for a long term. I generally research the company whether to invest or trade.

Rate Cut Predictions: What They Mean for the US Economy and Your Investments
The current state of the United States economy is at the center of the market's disagreement over the "rate-cutting cycle".Some participants believe that the U.S. is on the verge of a recession, while others emphasize the resilience of the economy and continued growth.Rate cuts and recession?Current market expectations for rate cuts stem from two main directions:If the U.S. economy falls into recession, the Fed may be forced to cut rates quickly (the first 50 basis points to start) to ease economic downward pressure;If the economy continues to be resilient, the Fed may also take precautionary rate cuts (starting at 25 basis points for the first time) to ensure that the economy achieves a soft landing.More than 70 common U.S. economic data indicators are divided into core, auxiliary and for
Traders anticipate that the Federal Reserve will reduce interest rates by approximately 240 basis points within the coming year.People advocating for a 50 basis point rate cut next week should consider the events of January 2001 and September 2007, when the Federal Reserve initiated rate-cut cycles with a 50 basis point decrease. If the Federal Reserve thinks a significant cut is necessary due to an economic slowdown, it isn't a positive sign.What is your expectation? $iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLT)$$Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLF)$$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$$iShares Russell 2000 ETF(IWM)$ Imagehttps
