Hey, Ross Givens here! Tariffs are back in focus, and the market’s reaction this time around is even sharper than in 2018–2019. Investors fear inflation sticking around, forcing the Fed to keep rates high. Even companies are bringing up tariffs on earnings calls. Expect volatility—but that doesn’t mean we can’t turn it into an opportunity.

Hey, Ross Givens here! Bearish sentiment among retail investors just hit its highest level since November 2023—yet the S&P 500 remains near all-time highs. Retail bears now outnumber bulls in a sharp reversal from last week. So, what’s really happening beneath the surface? I break it down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! The past two weeks have followed a nearly identical pattern—Monday selloff, midweek recovery, and a Friday drop. With new tariff talk over the weekend, will we see the same playbook unfold again? I don’t think so. A major market-moving event later this week could shake things up. I break it all down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! Healthcare stocks went from laggards to leaders—after a rough 2024, XLV is now the top-performing sector in the S&P 500. Some might see this shift as a warning sign, but I see it as fuel for the bull market. Here’s why this rotation is actually a positive—and how we can take advantage of it.

Hey, Ross Givens here! The Russell 2000 has been trading in an upward channel since November 2023, bouncing off support every time it nears the bottom. Right now, it looks like another bounce is underway. And with small-caps still near the lower end of the channel, there’s plenty of upside potential. If history repeats, this could be a prime opportunity. I explain more in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! The RSP/SPX ratio is surging, signaling that smaller stocks are finally stepping out of the mega-cap shadow. Since late last year, participation in this bull market has been widening—a promising sign for stock pickers. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to dive into individual stocks, this could be it. I break it all down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! Hedge funds just flipped from net buyers to net sellers—before the tariff announcement even hit. This shift could spark a broader pullback as retail traders follow their lead. But the real question isn’t what’s already happened—it’s what comes next. I break it all down in today’s Insight, including how to position yourself for the opportunity ahead.

Hey, Ross Givens here! Markets are set to open deep in the red—S&P 500 futures down 2%, Nasdaq 100 down 2.65%, and Russell 2000 down 3%. Trump’s policy shifts are driving short-term volatility, but panic isn’t a strategy. While others scramble, smart traders look for opportunity. The key question isn’t how bad this gets—it’s how we position ourselves to profit from it. I break it all down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! Nvidia is down over 15% from its recent highs, with DeepSeek as the latest catalyst. But let’s be real—this pullback was brewing for months while insiders quietly unloaded billions in stock. The signs were there. The lesson? I break it all down below.

Hey, Ross Givens here! Market participation is surging. Just a week ago, only 27% of stocks traded above their 50-day moving averages—now, that number has jumped to 48%.
