Markets Take A Breather
Hey,
Key Weekly Performance Stats:
- S&P 500: -2.08%
- Nasdaq 100: -3.42%
- Russel 2000: -4.05%
- Bitcoin: +18.93%
The stock market was a mixed bag las week, marked by profit-taking and trader caution following a post-election rally. Early in the week, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq saw declines, snapping a five-day winning streak. Inflation data (CPI) released on November 13th met expectations, bolstering hopes for a December Federal Reserve rate cut. However, comments from Fed Chair Powell dampened optimism, as he noted inflation was declining but indicated no urgency to lower rates further, adding to market volatility.
Looking forward, there will be focus on various economic indicators, such as Global PMI, consumer sentiment, and various fed speeches, to gauge economic health and potential Fed policy shifts. With the earnings season winding down, corporate reports and forward guidance could still influence stock performance. Seasonal trends suggest a favorable period for equities, but political developments, including trade, tax, and regulatory policies from the new administration, remain key variables in shaping market sentiment. As always, stick to your plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.
Best,
Thicc Kohrs

Piper has continued her win streak, but today involved a lot of praying to the Market Gods. I sold these PCS's at $0.58/ea and they (luckily) expired worthless -- This means my REALIZED GAIN WAS $1,740!
This trade was a big risk, but it eventually paid. I sold these PCS's at $1.80/ea and they expired worhtless -- This means my REALIZED GAIN WAS $5,400!

Piper told me to be bullish, so I was bullish (once again). After the signal fired, I sold 25 PCS's for $0.55/ea. I decided to be a bit more ballsy and rode them to expiration. Fortunately, they expired worthless -- This means my REALIZED GAIN WAS $1,375!
