Stock Market Weekly update -Apr 20

 We saw lots of ‘chop’ last week, ending just below where we started, with tariff uncertainty still hanging over the market. The DOW lagged as it dumped on Thursday after UNH reported earnings. Long term rates pulled back a bit while Gold continued to rocket higher, closing near $3326. This week we get more earnings including GOOGL & TSLA, 


04/06:  Hedging against losses…

How? If you got ahead of the tariff announcement on Monday Mar 31st using an Inverse ETF like SQQQ (SPXS, SOXS, etc), it was up approximately 30% that week! Note that Leveraged ETFs should only be used for short term trading.





This week: 3red week of earnings reports.  The market is still very volatile so caution is advised.

The Dollar - dropped a bit to 99.23

Gold - another big rally to $3326
