Hey, Ross here! This chart highlights the number of 5% or greater pullbacks during past bull markets. The average bull market sees eight such pullbacks, but so far in this one, we’ve only experienced five. And that’s just counting the “deep” ones. The Equal-Weight S&P 500 pullback I mentioned yesterday? It’s barely over 3%. The takeaway? We’re not seeing “too many” pullbacks at all. The data is clear—stay in the game. I explain more in today’s Insight of the Day.

Hey, Ross here! This chart tracks the net difference between 52-week highs and lows on the NYSE. While we’re still seeing more highs than lows, that gap is shrinking. Let me be clear—this isn’t a signal of an impending bear market. But it does indicate pullbacks in smaller, less-popular stocks. For traders like us, that’s an opportunity to scoop up the most explosive names at much better prices. I dive into the details in today’s Insight of the Day.

Hey, Ross here! The chart above shows the RSP, the Equal-Weight S&P 500 Index. While the Magnificent Seven stocks are pushing the broader S&P 500 higher, the equal-weight version tells a different story. It just dipped below its 21-day moving average, signaling a potential pullback. This could be a prime buying opportunity that most investors haven’t noticed yet. I break down what this means for you in today’s Insight of the Day.

Hey, Ross here!
Options trading in the U.S. is skyrocketing, with average daily volume hitting record highs, as shown in this chart dating back to 2018. While this surge may tempt individual traders to chase riskier bets, it often comes at the expense of sound risk management. But here’s the kicker—there’s a silver lining to this story, one that smart traders can capitalize on. I break it all down in today’s Insight of the Day.

Hey, Ross here! The latest AAII sentiment poll shows a dramatic flip in individual investor sentiment. Just weeks ago, bears outnumbered bulls in this bull market. Now? Bulls have surged back, and bearish sentiment has faded. This kind of back-and-forth is classic retail behavior—and it creates opportunities for savvy traders. In today’s Insight, I explain how to capitalize on this predictable sentiment swing.

Hey, Ross here! Funding spreads—essentially the cost of borrowing to trade futures—are climbing again after a mid-November dip. This surge reflects increasing demand from professional investors, signaling that institutions are back in risk-taking mode. The pullback may be over, but the opportunity is just beginning. In today’s Insight, I explain why this is a trend you don’t want to ignore.
