Bull Market Perception vs. Reality

Hey, Ross here:

Welcome back to a new trading week.

There’s a lot happening this week, with the Fed meeting, mega-cap earnings, as well as critical inflation and employment data.

The good news is – this is all happening against the backdrop of a healthy bull market.

Chart of the Day

Market breadth is healthy, with nearly 70% of stocks trading above their 50-day moving averages…

And close to 55% of them are trading above their 200-day moving averages.

Liquidity is also abundant, with the National Financial Conditions Index – which is inversely proportional to liquidity – hitting the lowest levels since 2022.

Remember, the more liquidity – the more money there is sloshing around in the financial system…

A significant portion of which will flow into the stock market.

In short, there’s plenty of room for this bull to keep running.

Even on the economic front, things are doing well.

Sure, there’s no shortage of doom-and-gloom in the headlines (especially with Trump in office)…

But the economic “hard data” is consistently coming in way ahead of sentiment.

But that’s not the only gap you should be paying attention to.

(Continued in the Insight of the Day below).

Insight of the Day

When “gaps” in the market close, opportunities are created.

Sometimes perception and reality are the same.

Other times, they’re not – they diverge, creating a gap.

But even though they may take a while, these perception-reality gaps always converge and start narrowing.

And that process of the gap closing leads to opportunities that can be exploited.

For instance, we’re now in the middle of earnings season.

And despite all the talk of tariffs and trade wars for the past few months…

Earnings are coming in ahead of sentiment…

With most investors being currently underpositioned in stocks based on earnings growth.

There’s a perception-reality gap – one that could quickly close as more earnings come in.

Let’s take advantage of that closing gap.

Tomorrow, Tuesday July 29, at 11 a.m. Eastern…

I’m going LIVE to show you a strategy for exploiting this earnings sentiment gap…

By following a group of traders that are actively doing the same – the corporate insiders.

They are in the best position to exploit this gap because they already know what’s coming down the pipeline for their own companies…

Knowledge even the best Wall Street analysts will never uncover.

That’s their edge.

And by looking for certain insider buying signals – we can use their edge for our own profit.

These signals have led to returns like 131%, 670%, and even 1,560%…

And after my live demo tomorrow morning, you’ll know exactly what to look for – and where to look for them.

So click here to save your seat for my live demo…

And I’ll see you tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. ET

Customer Story of the Day

“Great company. Something for everyone regardless of your skill level. Walks you through everything step by step as much or as little as needed. 

Great recommendations but, more importantly, teaches you how to identify your own picks, too. Really gives you the tools to be a better trader/investor. 

Very honest group. No “pie in the sky” promises, just realistic information. 

I have been with TA since January 2, 2025. I am a member of Insider Effect, Alpha Stocks, and Fire Traders. Stealth Trades and War Room, too. I would be in Black Edge, too, but I trade mostly through a PCRA and they are very restrictive with Options trades, limiting to covered calls and such. 

I’ve been building a little war chest in a new account and will be jumping in on Black Edge in the coming months. I wanted to wait a few months before posting a review so I could have an honest assessment not based on only a handful of trades.

If you want to learn to be a better trader with an honest, realistic group, Traders Agency will be your last stop. Beware of the other companies that promise you wins on every trade. That’s not real. TA is! 

They often run very good specials to get involved at discounted prices. Again, while not every trade is a winner, I have paid for my subscriptions already on winning trades…..and, this market lately hasn’t been a cakewalk either. I’m excited to see what we can do after we get the tariff and geopolitical stuff behind us!

Top notch, Ross. Thank you!”
