Hey Market Pilots, “Not my trade” is a phrase I use fairly often when Moxie Subscribers ask me about stocks that have moved and why I didn’t go in. First off, there are thousands of tickers out there all moving in their own way and I can only trade about 10 of them at a … Read more
Hey Market Pilots, So we finally had the 2020 election on Tuesday, but now it’s Thursday and we don’t have an answer. I believe this was of no surprise to the vast majority of us, as we knew this year’s election was going to be just another crazy thing to add to the list of … Read more
Hey Market Pilots, On Friday we saw traders head for the exits as it appears nobody wanted to be invested over the weekend going into the election. We saw the market top on October 13th, but I was looking to see how well price might hold up as it was coming into support of a … Read more
