Stock Market Weekly update -Oct 5

 Last week the government shut down, and the S&P 500 moved to new all time highs, along with the Dow, Nasdaq, and the Small-caps, and the Semis! Expectations for a September pullback never materialized. Gold also closed at another all time high after rallying for a 7th week. Crypto rallied to new all time highs as well. The Megacaps are showing mixed signals as indicated below. What drives the markets next week? There isn't really anything significant, so possibly we could stay in a range?

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.

WMT popped on earnings to another all time high (a DOW stock rallying like a tech stock since its bottom in May 2022) -this was its 4th earnings pop this year.
