  • Market Rollercoaster: April Review

    Market Rollercoaster: April Review
    Apr 29 2025
    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1128. Hey folks, it's your pal, Penny Pincher, here with another edition of Spy Trader! It's 6 pm on Monday, April 28th, 2025, Pacific Time, and the market's been a bit of a rollercoaster. So, buckle up, grab your favorite beverage, and let's dive into what's been shaking things up in the world of finance. Why don't bonds play music? They hate breaking records. Okay, now that we have that out of the way, let's get to business! First up, the market saw a relief rally recently because the U.S. administration seemed to soften its stance on trade, and some worries about the Federal Reserve eased up. But don't get too comfy – most analysts are expecting a pretty flat year for the S&P 500. Some are even saying the golden age of U.S. stocks might be over! International stocks may be a better bet right now. Keep your eye on those diversified portfolios. Earnings season is in full swing, and a bunch of companies are beating expectations. But remember, these results might not fully reflect the impact of all those trade tariffs. Speaking of trade, stocks popped a bit on hopes that the U.S. and China might chill out, but no official deals yet, so stay sharp. In the world of mergers, Merck KGaA is grabbing SpringWorks Therapeutics, and DoorDash has offered to buy Deliveroo. On the company front, Domino's Pizza stock took a hit because of weaker sales, while IBM is planning to invest big in the U.S. Tesla's profits and sales were lower than expected, but the stock held up okay because of some good news about their new products. Looking at the bigger picture, Morningstar lowered its GDP growth forecasts, and inflation forecasts have actually increased. The Fed is probably going to cut rates later in the year, maybe as early as June or July. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment went down in April. As for sectors, health care and financials might be worth a look. Megacap tech stocks like ServiceNow, Alphabet, and Texas Instruments have been leading the charge. Information Technology and Health Care are expected to have the best earnings growth. So, what should you do with all this info? First, diversification is key! Think about international equities. Second, check out healthcare and financials. And don't forget those bonds, they could help stabilize your portfolio. Keep an eye on trade developments, economic data, and earnings reports. And most importantly, stay focused on the long game – don't panic sell just because things get a little bumpy! Now, remember, this is just my take on things. I'm Penny Pincher, not your personal financial advisor. Do your own research and talk to a pro before making any big moves. Until next time, happy trading!

  • Market Rebound: Navigating Volatility

    Market Rebound: Navigating Volatility
    Apr 28 2025
    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1127. Hey there, stock jockeys! It's your pal, Penny Pincher, comin' at ya live from the Spy Trader podcast. It's 12 pm on Monday, April 28th, 2025, Pacific time, and we're diving headfirst into the market madness. What do you call a sad currency? A blue dollar. Alright, let's get down to brass tacks. The market's been a bit of a rollercoaster lately, but there's light at the end of the tunnel... maybe. First up, the big picture: We've seen a bit of a rebound recently, with the S&P 500 climbing about 10% since April 8th. This is largely thanks to easing trade tensions. The U.S. seems to be softening its stance on tariffs with China, and China might exempt some U.S. goods from tariffs too. However, analysts are saying we should expect the market to be rangebound with volatility before returning to early 2025 levels. Now, let's talk indexes. As of last Friday, the S&P 500 and Dow were still down for April, but the Nasdaq was hanging in there, slightly up. Today, Monday, we're seeing a bit of a dip. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are down about 0.5% and 0.8% respectively, and the Dow's also slipping. Yeartodate, the US500 is down 6.72%. Sectorwise, consumer discretionary and tech stocks have been leading the pack, which tells us folks are feeling a little riskon. There might be some opportunities in healthcare and financials too. Energy and healthcare sectors are showing promise, outperforming after a lackluster 2024. Right now sector ratings are 'Marketperform' so think broader diversification. On the macro front, economists are saying that 2.5%3.5% GDP growth is healthy. Inflation eased a bit in February but has been trending upward since last September. Some consumerfacing companies are warning about a potential slowdown in consumer spending due to all the uncertainty. The Fed is expected to hold rates steady. The market is pricing in one rate cut this year, while economists expect the Fed to pause altogether in 2025. Earnings season is in full swing, and get this: 75% of companies are reporting earnings above estimates, surprising positively by 10% compared to the 10year average. Six of the Magnificent Seven reported earnings between April 21 and May 2. Tesla reported firstquarter earnings after market close today, and Alphabet's up on deck for Thursday. Keep an eye on Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms, they release results this week. It's worth noting that earnings growth estimates for the full year have declined from 14% in January to 9.5% currently. In deal news, Merck KGaA is buying SpringWorks Therapeutics for almost $4 billion, and DoorDash is making a play for Deliveroo. Now for some specific stock shoutouts: Nvidia (NVDA) is down more than 3.5% today because of a report that Huawei is working on a rival AI chip. Intel (INTC) is bucking the trend, up 2% ahead of an event. For Meta Platforms (META), watch those key support levels around $482 and $452, and resistance levels near $588 and $632. Domino's Pizza (DPZ) is slipping after reporting weakerthanexpected revenue and U.S. samestore sales. Alright, time for Penny's Pinpointing Picks! Given all of this hullabaloo, I am going to recommend: Think about diversifying your portfolio with international equities. Keep an eye on the healthcare and financial sectors for potential opportunities. Stay glued to trade negotiations and policy changes because they can really shake things up. Pay attention to GDP growth, inflation, and employment figures. Consider rebalancing your portfolio to reduce exposure to the most concentrated and vulnerable parts of the market. Focus on your own longterm investment goals and financial situation. Disclaimer time! I am just your goofy podcast host, Penny Pincher, not a financial advisor. This is all based on the information we have as of today, April 28th, 2025, and things can change faster than you can say 'stock split'. Consult a real financial pro before making any big moves. Until next time, keep your eye on the prize and your hand on that buy button. Penny Pincher, out!

  • Market Brew: Earnings, Tariffs, and Tech

    Market Brew: Earnings, Tariffs, and Tech
    Apr 28 2025
    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1126. Alright, alright, alright, it's your pal Chip Chipperson here, ready to break down what's shakin' in the stock market. It's 6 am on Monday, April 28th, 2025, Pacific time, and we've got a whole heap of news to sift through. How do accountants stay so fit? By pushing their luck and pulling their weights. Let's dive in! So, last week ended on a high note, with the market closing up for the fourth day in a row on Friday, April 25th. The S&P 500 jumped 0.7%, the Nasdaq really took off with a 1.3% increase, and even the Dow managed a little bump. Tech stocks are definitely the stars of the show right now. But, looking at the whole month, we're still slightly down. As of today, futures are lookin' a little soft as we head into a crazy week of earnings reports. Speaking of tech, that sector, along with consumer cyclicals, really crushed it last week, up 7.66% and 6.49%, respectively. On the flip side, your consumer defensive stocks and real estate lagged behind. So, think twice about those boring sectors right now. Now, let's talk about what's driving all this. The big elephant in the room is still those tariffs. Remember how President Trump's trade policies shook things up earlier this month? Global markets took a nosedive on April 2nd after he announced them, with panic selling and the largest global market decline since 2020. It’s a rollercoaster ride, that's for sure. Earnings season is in full swing. We've got a ton of big names reporting this week, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, ExxonMobil, CocaCola, and McDonald's. Keep a close eye on those, people! Tesla's been on a bit of a tear lately, too. Elon Musk said he's going to spend less time working with the Trump administration, and that seemed to perk up investors. Plus, there's talk of the White House loosening rules on selfdriving cars. Always something happening with that guy! The economic data is painting a mixed picture. We're waiting on those firstquarter GDP numbers, and folks are worried about the impact of tariffs. Also, keep an eye on the April jobs report to see if those DOGErelated job cuts are having an effect. And of course, everyone's wondering what the Fed's going to do with interest rates. There's a lot of pressure on them to cut rates, especially with these trade war worries. On the macro front, GDP growth is looking a bit anemic, probably somewhere around 1% to 1.3%. Inflation is expected to tick up due to those tariffs, maybe ending the year around 3.5% to 4%. Unemployment could rise, maybe hitting 5%. And get this, consumer sentiment is down to levels we haven't seen since the early 80s. Yikes! As for specific companies this week, earnings are coming in hot. Today, April 28th, watch out for Welltower, Waste Management, Cadence Design Systems, Roper Technologies, Brown & Brown, and Nucor. Tomorrow, April 29th, we've got General Motors, Visa, CocaCola, Astrazeneca, Novartis, HSBC Holdings, Booking Holdings, S&P Global, Honeywell, and Pfizer. Busy, busy! Oh, and Deliveroo put the brakes on its buyback program after DoorDash made a proposal. Keep your eye on that rivalry, folks. So, what's a Chipperson to recommend? I'm cautiously optimistic. There's been a bit of a rally, but those trade policies are still a major wild card. Diversification is key, people. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Watch those earnings reports like a hawk. Pay attention to the GDP, inflation, and jobs numbers. And maybe think about adding some defensive stocks to your portfolio, like consumer staples and healthcare. Oh, and brace yourselves for more volatility! But remember, I'm just a goofy podcast host. This ain't financial advice, folks. Do your own homework before making any decisions. Chip Chipperson, signing off! Stay frosty!
