It’s the day before Thanksgiving – so we wanted to take some time to talk about the things we're grateful for on this new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast. Of course, we're thankful for our health, happiness, and families. But we’re also thankful for what’s ahead – specifically the opportunities available to use as we head into 2025.

It has been a wild couple weeks for investors and the market alike.

The New York Stock Exchange’s (NYSE) newly proposed hours. The exchange currently offers trading from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time from Monday through Friday. But the NYSE just proposed to extend trading hours from 1:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Eastern time. That means the stock exchange would only be closed two hours per weekday. This could have major implications for traders. More trading hours in the day means there’s more time to enter and exit short-term trades. And you may be surprised to...

We’re less than three weeks away from finding out who will become the next president of the United States in one of the tightest races in history. That fact that we don’t have a good sense of who will win just 20 days out from Election Day should have investors on edge. But considering the S&P 500 is trading near all-time highs, that doesn’t appear to be the case. We hope you’re still preparing your portfolio for either a Trump or Harris victory, though… On today’s new episode o...

The term “10-baggers” is thrown around often in the financial industry. It’s not commonplace to be able to identify a stock that will eventually go up 10X in value. But it is achievable. In the investment world, snagging a 10-bagger is equivalent to receiving a massive trophy you can put on your mantel. One of the most recent and notable 10-baggers in the market is chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA). The face of the artificial intelligence (AI) bull market has rocketed higher over the ...

We're willing to bet most folks don’t think too much about energy drinks as an investment idea. But what if we told you one energy-drink maker was one of the best-performing stocks over the last 30 years? Monster Beverage (MNST) makes the sugary-caffeinated drinks that many people have come to love. It went public in August 1995, and since then has been the third-best performer in the S&P 500. The only two stocks with better returns are Nvidia (NVDA) and Amazon (AMZN). A $10,000 invest...

Many investors would argue that we’re in the midst of a sizable market pullback. In reality, the S&P 500 is trading just 3% below its all-time high. Clearly, it’s not as bad as most folks think.

Water – or “blue gold,” as it’s often called – is a difficult topic to get investors excited about because it’s all around us and part of our daily life. But even though water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface, only about 0.5% of it is available fresh water. We understand that there’s hesitancy in believing that water is an investable commodity – especially when you pay $7 per bottle at airports and sporting events. But we guarantee that today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast wi...

At the start of every year, analysts and talking heads put out their predictions for the year ahead. But over the years, most prognosticators are pretty bad at predicting what things will look like just 12 months in the future. For example, six months ago nearly everyone was calling for several interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Yet here we are in July and the central bank has yet to begin its easing cycle. In fact, odds are that we’ll only see one interest rate cut before the end ...

Last week something happened that has only occurred 13 times in the past 20 years. And the results were in-line with what history told us was going to happen. On June 12, the Federal Reserve held a meeting and made an announcement on interest rates on the same day that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) – inflation reading – was released. Considering the CPI is arguably the most important number in regard to the Fed’s decision on interest rates, it was a wild day. Stocks closed up big even thou...
