  • Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1122. Hey everyone, it's your pal 'Penny Pincher Pete' here, and welcome back to Spy Trader! It's 12 pm on Friday, April 25th, 2025, Pacific time, and the market's doing its thing. So, grab your coffee, maybe a donut, and let's dive into what's moving the markets today. Okay, so the big picture is that we're seeing a rally, extending gains from the last three sessions. Most of the indexes are looking good for weekly gains. Specifically, the S&P 500 is up about 0.4% and the Nasdaq is rocking it, up 0.9%. The Dow is playing it cool, just down a tiny bit, around 0.2%. Big week so far for the S&P, up 3.8% through yesterday! Now, for what's driving all this, tech is where the action is. Tesla, Nvidia, Meta, Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Broadcom – they're all climbing. Seems like everyone wants a piece of the tech pie right now. Let's talk sectors. Consumer Discretionary is down almost 11% for the year, but is up almost 1.6% today. Consumer Staples are up a couple percent YTD, but down almost 0.8% today. Energy is down a bit. Financials are only slightly down for the year and down about 0.4% today. Healthcare is about flat on the year. Newswise, the tariff situation is still a bit of a headscratcher, especially with China, but there's some optimism that the White House wants to chill things out. China might even exempt some U.S. goods from tariffs, which would be a nice surprise. Earnings season is in full swing, and so far, about 76% of S&P 500 companies have beaten expectations, with an average surprise of 6.2%. Alphabet had a killer earnings report, showing their AI stuff is really paying off. On the flip side, Intel's outlook was a bummer, and their stock took a hit. Tesla's stock jumped after Elon Musk said he'd spend more time at the company. Apple stock took a little hit earlier today, because they are planning to make most of the iPhones sold in the U.S. in India by the end of next year. Now, the Fed is still the elephant in the room. Everyone's waiting to see when they'll cut interest rates, but it sounds like they're going to be patient, especially with those tariffs potentially messing with inflation and the economy. Geopolitics is still a factor, the RussiaUkraine war, inflation, and supply chain issues are all still floating around out there. So, what should you do with all this? Well, given all the uncertainty in the market, it might be smart to look at defensive sectors like consumer staples and healthcare. Keep your portfolio diversified to spread out the risk. Focus on the long game and don't freak out over shortterm ups and downs. And of course, stay informed about trade talks, Fed policy, and those company earnings. It's a wild ride, folks! Oh, and one more thing... How do you know a trader is out on a date? They keep checking their phone for market updates! I hope that made you laugh, because I'm about to cry about my losses if I don't make some good calls. As for specific recommendations, I'm liking the tech sector for longterm growth, especially companies involved in AI, like Nvidia. I would also recommend to look at AbbVie, ticker ABBV, they added 3% after beating estimates and raising its fiscal 2025 EPS guidance. That's all for today, folks! Remember, I'm just a dude sharing my thoughts, not a financial guru, so do your own homework before making any big moves. Until next time, happy trading, and may the market be ever in your favor!
