All The News That Isn't Fit To Print

We are going to start doing a live podcast with Jeremy Vreeland at Bullish/Bears every Thursday at 11:30AM EST. We will be talking markets and stocks. Feel free to shoot over questions or names you want us to cover. Will have details on how to access the stream next week.

Great bounce on Friday, this week will probably tell us whether that was just an oversold rally or the beginning of another leg up. 40% of the market cap announces earnings this week, including MSFT on Tuesday, META on Wednesday, and AMZN and APPL on Thursday. We also have the Treasury Quarterly Refunding Announcement on Wednesday. After the close today, Jensen Huang is doing a fireside chat at the SIGGRAPH Conference.

Nvidia Faces a Make-or-Break Week as AI Stocks Face Big Test-Barron’s

“Big earnings results are coming from close to $10 trillion worth of Big Tech…if last week was anything to go by, nothing short of knockout results will do.”

If that wasn’t enough, Wednesday is FOMC and Friday is non farm payrolls.

This is going to be key. A Fed Rate Cut is Finally Within View-WSJ

SPY had an undercut and rally at the 50 day on Friday so that ought to be key support.

QQQs are still a lot weaker and are about 10 points below their 50 day. The 455 area ought to be downside support.

Small caps look to be consolidating gains. So far this morning they continue to be the strongest area. Watch the 10 day for support and 227ish for a breakout.

What’s driving the market is the Fed is about to embark on an easing cycle so people buy the dips. The Dow Surged 650 Points. Here is What’s Driving the Market-Barron’s

Until proven otherwise you still need to assume the Fed has your back when the next move is a cut. Opinion: Stock investors have counted on the Fed to save them. Maybe not this time.-MarketWatch

I agree. Alphabet Drops Again-on SearchGPT. It’s Time to Buy-Barron’s

More big earnings next week. What it means is more volatility. Apple and Microsoft are among the ‘Magnificent Seven’ stocks set to report next week. Here’s what that means-CNBC Pro

Fade AI at your peril. AI Doubts Are Growing. Investors Could Be Making A Mistake-WSJ

I’m actually making the opposite argument. If anyone sold stocks in the belief that AI investment will slow, they haven’t been listening to the people doing the spending. Big Tech companies will continue to buy AI hardware from Nvidia and the other vendors.

This happens, people crowd into trades and then rush for the exits. Unless something has fundamentally changed this provides some great opportunities to buy back in at lower prices. Some of 2024’s most popular trades are coming undone after reaching ‘stupid’ levels-MarketWatch

Saylor’s BEAR case for Bitcoin is $3 Million by 2045. That undercut and rally at the 200 day looks like it was a killer entry point. Looks a bit extended at the moment.
