The market dropped for a 3rd week, tho it recovered a bit on Friday, just as it did the prior week! The AI bubble could be near exhaustion here.

The government shutdown finally ended last week, the CPI report was cancelled, while new odds of a Fed rate cut in December dropped quite a bit.  This week we get Nvidia's earnings report on Wednesday, along with some of the big Retailers.

  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:   Schwab Weekly Trader's Outlook Edward Jones recap More earnings  This week: 3red week of earnings reports.  The market is still very volatile so caution is advised.
