Keep your ear to the ground 👂

Monday Market Open

Hello Boys,

Wow, what a couple of weeks. What the hell. Cyber-outages, assassination attempts, presidents bailing. Absolutely nuts.
People like to harp on about plenty of fancy methods and tricks to beat the market and it’s all well and good, but really there is no other principle like good old fashioned research and keeping your ear to the ground. If you smell bullshit and get the feel that your info is pointing you in a direction. Fucking follow it. You never know how the market will go. Play the game, but on your terms and keep gathering knowledge, you never know what could be the piece that leads you to success.

Without further ado, lets get into it !

Markets are betting there's a 100% chance the Fed cuts rates in September

One Hundred Sgn GIF by SomeGoodNews

OK, an interesting one here.

As of Tuesday morning, markets were pricing in a 100% chance of an interest rate cut in September, per the CME FedWatch Tool, up from a 70% chance a month ago. The increased confidence comes after a better-than-expected June inflation reading combined with signs of further cooling in the labor market. This cut would be a big success for investors as the higher for longer policy has been in place for a number of months keeping rates high

What does this mean for the everyday schmuck like me and you ? Well the possibility of cuts in September has encouraged investors and institutions to start rotating out of large-cap and mega-cap companies, and rotating into small-cap stocks. This could be huge ! With mega institutions and investors flocking to the penny stocks we could see huge upsides.

"If this trade continues, if the prospect for a rate cut is still in play for this fall, then we could finally see the bull wake up, and that's good news for all investors,"

Ritholtz Wealth Management chief market strategist Callie Cox

Caille Cox said this to Yahoo Finance when discussing the The small-cap Russell 2000 (RUT) index being up and the potential of rate cuts in September.

So, if I could give you some advise for this week. It would be to look in to where you use this rates cuts to your favor. Whether it is buying up more of the small capers or seeing what previous sectors have benefited from the rate cuts. Everything and anything is up for grabs and hopefully by September you can be kicking back with your profits.
