Ready to Crush the Open with us each week?! Of course you are! Join our Telegram channel and we’ll send a reminder right before we get started at 9 a.m. ET each Monday!
The market is giving us all kinds of mixed signals right now… Tech and growth names are weak… Oil, value and defensive stocks are strong while the Federal Reserve wants pain…
We had a big jobs report that came out on Friday, which showed too many people still working… That’s bad news in this twisted environment because the Fed can keep raising rates to infinity to try and cover its own mistakes, of which there are many.
We have key inflation data coming Thursday in the Consumer Price Index — which is must-see data each month… There’s no reason to believe the CPI data will be positive in regard to inflation.
On top of all that, we also have the midterm elections Tuesday, and I see a massive red wave taking over the House and Senate, which is why I’m still bullish on oil stocks.* That has been the biggest no-brainer trade all year, in my opinion.
And that brings me to my favorite trade for this week’s elections…
Crush the Open
I think finance and bank stocks are also running higher on the assumption of a bigger power divide with Republicans regaining some control… And Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) is my top stock for the midterm elections, and that’s because of the likely removal of Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the House, which will be seen as a relief for Wall Street.
We also have several earnings trades to discuss, so check out Crush the Open up top! We’ll go over several stocks, and one trade idea in particular that Lance breaks down with full details…
