Key Takeaways from Today’s Fed Rate Cut

All right. Let’s walk through this together. First of all, the Fed did the expected — they cut rates by 25 basis points. They also mentioned reducing their security holdings, so they’re chipping away at that $9 trillion balance sheet. Now, here’s where it gets interesting. There was only one dissent — Governor Myron, who

A Look at the S&P 500 Ahead of the Fed

The S&P 500 has been on an overall trek higher since mid-April, when it bottomed after the initial tariff news hit. On the way up, we’ve had various trade-deal headlines, the latest being that there’s a deal framework with China that could be finalized by this Friday, September 19. Before that though, all eyes are

Master One Dish, Master One Market

I was in the kitchen with my mom recently, helping her prep vegetables for dinner, when this thought hit me. If you’re a fan of Indian cuisine, you know there’s almost an endless variety of vegetables to cook. And that variety only multiplies when you factor in all the regional differences across India. My family

Find Your Rhythm in Trading (and in Life)

Since my mom’s been visiting, I’ve been watching how the three of us — her, my husband, and me — operate in totally different cycles. You’d expect that to create tension. Whose schedule rules the kitchen? Who decides when meals get cooked, when groceries happen? And at first, I tried to sync with my mom.

Check the Manual

Our modern life is made up of…a bunch of machines.Your house or apartment, with things that run on their own and others you have to initiate.Your computer you use for trading.And of course, the vehicles so many of us depend on every day. Recently, my husband noticed the skid plate on our Honda CRV was

Short-Term Fixes and Long-Term Trading Solutions

My mom is visiting me right now! And we also haven’t had an overnight guest in quite some time. That meant dusting off the guest room, moving stored things around, and preparing the space. But even with preparation, there are always the unforeseen. And that’s the same in trading. You can plan your risk, place

Navigating the Fed as a Trader: News and Indicators

In my last post, I shared how the Fed is very data oriented. The challenge is that the data they rely on is always backward-looking — usually a month old by the time it’s in their hands. That makes it almost impossible to know exactly how the economy is moving day to day. Or is

Navigating the Fed as a Trader: Fed Actions vs. Fed Speak

In the first post of this series, What Every Trader Needs to Know About the Fed, I walked through the basics of the Fed — what it is, how interest rates work, and why the dollar matters. Now let’s look at what the Fed actually does. The Fed has two main ways of influencing markets:

Navigating the Fed as a Trader: What Every Trader Needs to Know About the Fed

The next Fed meeting is right around the corner — Wednesday, September 17th. And it’s shaping up to be a bigger one than usual. It’s pretty well baked in that the Fed will cut rates after keeping them elevated so long to battle inflation. But the latest jobs data for August, showing a slightly cooling

Forecasting in Volatile Markets

I get a lot of questions about whether my forecasting techniques can work in volatile markets — especially when news seems to throw everything off balance. The short answer: yes, forecasting applies in every kind of market environment. Whether the market is slow and quiet (rare these days) or racing up and down with choppy

Magnets on Your Chart: Seeing Market Turning Points Before They Happen

When you look at a price chart of a security trading at new all-time highs — it can feel like you’re staring into outer space. Like there’s this endless vacuum where price can float in any direction at any pace. But that’s not actually the case. If you bring in a little bit of simple

Three Ways to Time the Market

I still remember when I first started watching my dad trade. I was completely mesmerized by those flashing green and red candles on the screen. Price action was something else. If only he could see the speed of today’s markets. Back in the 90s, it was steadier. You could actually follow along as each move
