Dear Trader, Who remembers the headlines from 18 months ago? Anybody? I do. In January 2021 we saw something pretty crazy happen in the market. GME went from $17.25 to an astonishing $347.51 in three weeks. I guess video games…

Dear Trader, What do you do when your favorite trending stock pulls back from its latest all-time high? Do you buy the dip? Or do you ride the rollercoaster down. It’s a classic dilemma, but a very relevant one today….

Dear Trader, Energy is in a bit of a rally. Yesterday with Mark I think it was pretty clear, I was shouting from the roof tops that energy will be going even lower. Well looking at our sector Skittles chart…

Dear Traders, Today, Mark and I went live this morning to give you the breakdown on energy! We know for sure that July and August historically has not been favorable to the energy sector. We had to realize that a…

Dear Traders, There is a lot going on today but one question I always get asked is what pinning a strike really means. These are the types of questions I love to get! Some people look at my projections for…

Dear Traders, Today is one for the history books. The fed announcement is over and no matter what happens now we are going to be set up to win. We have been slowing down the market and getting into trades…

Dear Traders, This offer is available all weekend and you might want to check it out. I thought the CPI numbers were going to be high impact, but this surprised even me. Imagine with me for a second. Suppose your…

This morning I on “The Long and the Short of it” on Money Morning Live, I shared a stock late into the session. It was only on the screen for a few minutes, but it encapsulated a lot of what…

Dear Reader, Although I think the longer-term direction of the market is still down, I must admit it looks as though there could be an opportunity to play a bounce right now. While nothing is certain about today’s action, of…

Dear Reader, One simple trick that investors don’t usually get to benefit from is the use of relative strengths in sectors. Investors try to find a good stock and hold it forever, but in times like we are having now,…

Dear Reader, Today’s late session rally, spurred by Mr. Jerome Powell no less, did well for the S&P 500. But it did even better for microcap stocks. Take a look at the chart below, and you’ll see what I mean….

Dear Reader, Today’s small-range upward move fits the profile for the morning-after trade, like the market got hungover during the weekend. Okay, let me explain what I mean by that. The S&P 500 (SPX) climbed 2.4%. It’s a big change…

Dear Reader, Have you heard the news? In a rather unorthodox move, I gave everyone a chance to trade like the Night Traders but in the morning instead of the afternoon. That’s right, after scanning the market I spotted a…

Dear Reader, I’m back from fishing out in the woods, and it looks like my Penny Nation crew caught a big winner! Since March 17, we’ve held on to our FUBO May 20, 2022 $8.00 Put – and it is…

Dear Reader, A lot of people think that most companies don’t trade options when they are valued below $10. I’m here to tell you that this is a total myth and there are actually over a thousand! Why is that…

Yesterday was absolutely brutal… The Dow, S&P 500, and IWM were all falling down like a bowling ball off a cliff. Traders everywhere saw nothing but red flashing across their dashboards. And today I have one message for you. Bend…

Dear Reader, In case you missed the news, tomorrow is an observed holiday for the markets. That means we’re taking a day off from all programming here at Money Morning LIVE. Even today, there is insanely light trading volume as…

To say the S&P 500 (SPY) has been performing poorly this year, wildly understates the situation at hand. In case you missed it, the index suffered a devastating blow that us traders call the “Death Cross.” Go ahead – turn…

With the Ukraine… the Fed… and inflation… I don’t know about you… but I think something big is cooking. I think all of us can feel it in the air. Especially if you were around for Vietnam, Iraq, and every…

Yesterday on Money Morning LIVE I went over my top 25 stocks to watch. In true Penny Hawk fashion, all of these stocks are less than $10. If you have any questions about these stocks, you can always ask me…

Volatility isn’t just lingering around the stock market… it’s getting stronger. Yesterday, we saw the VIX shoot up into the 30 level. In fact, it looks like the VIX is getting comfortable around this range. I suspect “30” will be…

What a great game last night! I’m looking forward to hearing what the Penny Hawks have to say about it. Of course, I’m also looking forward to making some money this morning. So grab your coffee, shake off the booze,…

I’m looking at my charts and I wanted to keep you up-to-date. So I’ve compiled my top 25 stocks under $10. These are the stocks that have the most options activity and that’s why they’re my top 25 stocks to…

Absolutely unpredictable. That’s how I would describe 2022 in a nutshell. We’re only two months in and it’s already obvious that the volatility is here to stay. The VIX is starting to look like an EKG heart monitor – beep…

I’ve been talking a lot about the Penny Hawks and Penny Nation because lately, this corner of the market has been extremely profitable. But remember, when the market drops… low-dollar stocks aren’t the only things that are dropping. Every single…

I’m coming back from my ski trip. I hope you didn’t miss me too much. As we make the long journey home, I can’t help but think about life. Of course, this is natural. When you’re completely exhausted after a…

Boy oh boy what a wild week for the market. Yesterday, Facebook fell off a cliff, and shares dropped 26.5%! Meanwhile, the VIX continues to trend higher. Needless to say, this earnings season is like nothing we’ve ever seen before….

I’m currently on a mountain shredding the slopes! I don’t mean to brag… but I’ve still got it. In fact, here’s a snapshot of the video I recorded going down the mountain… This old dog can still ski with one…

I lost a five-year old bet the other day and now I have to pay the price. I can’t shave this off. That’s what I get for betting that the Cincinnati Bengals will never make it to the Superbowl. Jokes…

Yesterday, the Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) is rallying +1%, showing that some investors are still taking risks. Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) is holding back. This tells me that the market does not have a clear rally…

This past week we saw a huge market correction. Which comes as no surprise.

Mark my words, there has never been a better time to trade small-cap stocks. When the market enters bear territory, emotion and price dictate investor behavior. During times like this, many people will “buy the dip” or “hold on” until…

Yesterday’s Fed announcement has pushed the market off a cliff. The S&P 500, the Nasdaq, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, you name it… it dropped. I’m sure you’ve got a lot of questions right now and I wanted to make…

The Volatility Index (VIX) is moving higher and higher. Which means something’s brewing in the stock market. Anything can happen from here. We could see a huge spike up… or a huge drop down. Investors everywhere are waiting to see…
