$GameStop(GME)$ Some data has shifted since your last short. Before market was pricing a 70% chance of a 50bps increase and 30% chance of a 25bps. Now market is pricing 70% 25bps and 30% no hike at all. (I’ve rounded the numbers for simplicity). I never thought a 50bps increase was going to happen and I still think a 25bps should be done. But svb will have consequences. So might not be the best time to short a company whose inventory is primarily houses which are expected to bottom if the fed pauses rates. So have your stops in place and be safe out there

[TOPIC] Can US Stocks Rest Easy With This Rally?

With the start of the third quarter earnings season, the market had a rare two-day rally.The last rally this year was during the Q2 earnings season. Many companies reported better-than-expected earnings and drove the market higher. In the face of a good earnings season start, can this wave of rally rest easy? Let's look at how data and analysts explain:Bullish Factors1) According to FactSet, Of the 45 companies have reported earnings as of today, 71% of them have beaten earnings expectations.

Just for this week, perhaps US stock marketcan close higher, with positive earnings as acatalyst to reverse bearish sentiments. With a high net short position last week, massive cover can take place this week. But that said, with a guaranteed rate hike in November and a persistent inflation, its not easy to rest assured from this short rally. Bear trap? Haha.

Dow Jumped 1,000 points! Why Market So Strong?

After a big rally overnight, US stocks remained up for 2 straight days, with some large companies reporting third-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations helping to extend optimism.$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ led the gains with a 2.6% gain; $DJIA(.DJI)$ rose 608 points, or about 2%; $S&P 500(.SPX)$ rose 2.2%.Investors say the sharp rallies and declines in the stock market underscore investors' concerns about a possible recession and the speed of rate hikes, rather than fundamental changes in the economy. These concerns have been exacerbated by recent inflation data. High CPI indicated that rapid price growth is having tro

$S&P 500(.SPX)$Nothing has change my perspective from a macroeconomic view. I remain short term bearish but long term bullish. Indeed we can fall back to past bear markets as reference to ascertain the average duration and percentage drop for each bear market. However, one must also know that the past doesn't represent the future as each bear arise from different situation. If I had to take reference from the past, the bear market from 1980 to 1982 also known as Volker's bear would best relate to the current 'inflation induce' bear market. It took 2 years for the market to bottom with the index down 27% from its peak. Will this current bear took 2 years to bottom? I don't know however this current bear is already down

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ we have to remember that spx is an average of 500 companies. these companies are affected by rising interest rates. mr market is forward looking so when you are looking at the stock chart, you are looking at the future. you are seeing the discounted value of the stocks that people are willing to invest in.  looking at the pnf percent chart for spx, you can see that it has support at the 3600 region. the yellow lines indicate the positions of the gaps.  looking at the candlestick chart, you can see that the gap at 3739 was just covered two days ago 18 Oct. the rsi indicator below, blue line with yellow line average, shows that momentum was lost due to profit taking after a rally. this is also

I do not think US stocks would rest easy with therecent rally. This is because the FED raising of the interest rates is still in play and other macroeconomics factors such as Ukraine war, China zero Covid etc are also playing a part to the economics of the whole world.

This rally is just temporary.  I don't think the market has reached the bottom this year yet.  It will go lower but don't panic . The market will be up long term.  DCA. @Tiger_chat

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ The markets have recently experienced wild swings from euphoric highs to depressing lows.  However the economic fundamentals have not changed at all. With 8.2% inflation in September, rising interest rates, there is a global slow down in economy.  Companies like Microsoft, Tesla, Meta Platforms are cutting back on staff hiring and retrenching in some cases.  Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan calls it an "economic hurricane".  Just recently, Jeff Bezos said "to batten down hatches".  Can US stocks rest easy?  I don't think so as I believe it is a Bear Market rally.  Until the Feds can see a clear sign that inflation is trending down, they will continue their aggressive sta
$S&P 500(.SPX)$I don't even think it can be considered a rally? A good day followed by a almost flat day on the up side? I personally didn't think anything of it and fully expect if to fall just as quick as it rose. I'm not being pessimistic just realistic.

$S&P 500(.SPX)$Stocks rallied one or two days and then fell back to their lows, only to rebound yet again. Such is the nature of trading in stocks. The markets are choppy these days but I am confident stocks would continue to go higher lows and higher highs. What investors need to take care is to trade confidently and doing the necessary due diligence.

JPMorgan: U.S. inflation downshift is on its way JPMorgan sees inflation downshifting, with peak inflation now in the rearview mirror. The financial institution announced in an investor note that it believes by December headline inflation will read at 6.8% while core inflation will sit at 5.1%. Wall Street has been fighting with elevated levels of inflation throughout 2022. As a result, Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve continue to tighten policy aggressively in an effort to get price increases under control. JPMorgan stated: “While inflation is likely to remain above-target through the end of next year, we see signs that a moderation is already underway and that this cooling will become more prominent over time.” “Overall, we think headline CPI inflation cools from 8.2% [year-over-yea
