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%. Even with Monday’s selloff in AI and chip stocks, overall participation remains strong. Most stocks are holding up just fine. Don’t let the headlines fool you—I break it all down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! Monday’s 1.5% drop in the S&P 500 looked rough at first glance—but beneath the surface, something unusual happened. Despite the pullback, 350 stocks advanced while only 150 declined. That’s the first time in over 20 years we’ve seen this kind of divergence. The index fell because of mega-cap tech, but as I explain today, we’re not index investors. There’s a bigger opportunity here.

Hey, Ross Givens here! Today’s chart tracks the ratio of XLP – the S&P Consumer Staples ETF – to the S&P 500 since the October 2022 bull market began. Consumer Staples, a defensive sector, typically gain traction when investors shy away from risk. But the steady decline in this ratio suggests investors are staying offensive, even during choppy periods like December. The big question now? Where exactly are they channeling this offensive mindset? I dive into the details in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! The S&P 500 Equal Weight Technology Sector ETF (RSPT) hit a new all-time high last Thursday, showcasing the strength of tech stocks across the board—not just the mega-caps. While it dipped slightly on Friday, the momentum here is undeniable. Tech has been the leader in most bull markets for decades, and this is a strong signal of a healthy rally. I break it all down in today’s Insight.

Hey, Ross Givens here! There’s nearly $6.9 trillion sitting in money market funds right now—just waiting to flood into equities. While this number has dipped slightly, I expect it to keep falling as more capital moves into risk assets. The key? Positioning yourself before the floodgates open. I break it all down in today’s Insight.
