The Trade

Entry

I created a large (relative to my account size) bullish position on the Small Cap sector, $IWM, when the inflation report came in cool, below expectations, on July 11th. My reasoning was simple: Lower rates means access to cheaper capital. Small businesses need cheap money to survive.

Exit 1

When the play went up +400%, I locked in 1/5 of my position (15 of 75 calls) to take all downside risk off the table. At this point, the worst that could happen would be that the play ended breakeven. If that scenario played out, there is a good chance I would also be super embarrassed due to how public I was about this play.

Exit 2

I really wanted to ride IWM up to $228, which was an upside gap fill from late 2023. Unfortunately, the market had different plans. I had to take what the market was willing to offer. As soon as the Russell showed weakness, I took my money and said thank you! I can always reenter if things turn around.

Exit 1 Return: +$10,290

Exit 2 Return: +$43,020

Total Return: +$53,310

Markets Chop, Chop, Chop! || Goonie Newsletter

Goonie Newsletter (October 20th - 24th)

Markets Chop, Chop, Chop!

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

S&P 500: +1.70%
Nasdaq 100: +2.46%
Russel 2000: +3.71%
Bitcoin: -5.77%

Last week, the stock market posted a modest recovery, with major indexes bouncing after tariff-spooked declines and banking jitters. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both gained ground, led by strength in tech and small-cap segments as investors brushed aside a thin data calendar and leaned into hopes for a smoother trade outlook. The fact that markets remained open on Monday despite the federal holiday helped keep trading normal, though volumes were lighter than usual.

On the economic and policy front the story was mostly about what wasn’t published. The ongoing federal government shutdown held back key releases such as the consumer-price index, retail sales and other big data points, leaving markets with just the anecdotal commentary and earnings cues. Market participants therefore leaned heavier on corporate results and central-bank commentary, with the Federal Reserve’s remarks and shutdown-related risks coming into sharper focus. Against this backdrop, rate-cut expectations remained alive but muted, since policymakers lack fresh hard numbers to act on.

Earnings season picked up extra significance in this environment. With the macro calendar essentially blank, company reports (especially from banks, tech names and industrials) became the centrepiece of investor attention. Those businesses that indicated stable demand, manageable input costs or successful cost discipline received a boost, while firms more cautious or conflicted drew sharper sell-offs. Overall the market held its ground and nudged higher despite elevated uncertainty and thinner than normal participation.

Looking ahead to next week, there are more tangible data releases. The Leading Economic Index will be released early in the week, followed by existing-home sales mid-week and the much-anticipated rescheduled September CPI data on Friday. These publications should give markets the firmer footing they’ve lacked and may force a more decisive move on the Fed’s policy path. As always, stick to your trading plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
