#1,472 Hot stocks and market update

So as we know, this week we had jobs reports, interest rates.

We had a record high on Tuesday, I believe that was.

And, uh, AI, oil also moved the markets.

But a couple things to keep in mind.

When you have negative economic news, that can actually lift stocks or strong company results.

You know, if their, you know, results are good, that can also lower stocks.

So you have to understand these reactions and, and it, it make smart financial decisions based off of price charts.

We're gonna discuss that as we, as we go through the show here today.

But news doesn't always give you all the clues, and you have to guide through and, and sift through and see what's actually moving these markets.

But how you find proper and, and, and in- information that is factual is on a price chart.

And we'll discuss that, and that's supply and demand that Trading Academy teaches all across the world.

You know, we have jobs and the Federal Reserve this week.

There was slowing in hiring this, this, uh, this week in that, that report.

That e- they ease ex- expectations also for a Fed rate increase, which means they say, "Okay, we probably aren't gonna increase again." Um, stocks have been rallying.

The Dow and the S&P finished lower last week.

But, uh, markets react to expectations, not just if the news sounds good or bad.

As I mentioned earlier, you can have good things with stocks or, or a, a report and the, and stocks go down.

So before reacting, you gotta ask yourself, "Does this change your investment plan?" Now I'm gonna ask you, do you actually have an investment plan or a trading plan? If you don't, Trading Academy can guide you through that.

And if you're not sure how to get started with that, is you have to write that down and, and steps within that and rules.

So we had record highs.

We had pullbacks.

You know, this week on Tuesday was, uh, the, the high, as I mentioned earlier, with the S&P and the NASDAQ.

Uh, and then it did slip Wednesday.

Um, you know, some smaller companies experienced a larger decline.

Um, you have to really avoid letting that fear or, or greed, excitement drive your decisions.
