DAILY TRADING INSIGHT Around this time last year, the market got totally destroyed. It was literally the worst December since the Great Depression — and that’s really saying something! [Image] Many traders were left scared and wondering if the downswing signaled a transition into a bear market. And by some loose definition, we were in a “bear market” for a hot second. But miraculously, the market came back to life — we saw yet another rebound as it continued to move up and up. Talk about a cat with nine lives! As we look back, it’s more apparent why this correction happened. While many people pointed fingers at the Fed (as usual), here’s another explanation that seems more accurate in retrospect: The market anticipated the announcements that came from major corporations about a month later. Many companies like Apple announced that they were cutting their profit forecasts in an effort to moderate our expectations for 2019. After all, 2018 was quite a big year. Fast forward to today — December 2, 2019. We’re riding on weak 2019 earnings. Weak 2019 earnings mean that companies have set a really low bar, and consequently earnings expectations for 2020 may be much stronger. All in all, we may be facing a much more comfortable December of trading here in 2019 — free of any jarring corrections. But who knows — and who cares! Our experts here at Raging Bull are traders, and they’re fully prepared to profit no matter which way the market decides to go. TODAY’S TOP STORIES [Your Jump on the Week]( By Jeff Bishop of Total Alpha [Image]( The coming week of trading is going to be an exciting one, so hopefully you took advantage of this past holiday week to get some rest. If you didn’t, then Jeff Bishop put together this post just for you. While most people spent their post-Thanksgiving weekend shopping for the best deals online and around town, Jeff has been surveying the market and he’s put together a list of all the economic and political events we need to keep in mind.

After snagging a sweet 100% profit in Tesla last week, stocks had him even hungrier for more than the turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. In this post, he shares the stocks on his watchlist that he’s hoping to play both long and short. He’ll walk us through exactly what his TSP system is telling him to look for.

Some of them flopped, so you’re lucky if you missed out. If you missed out on the ones that actually skyrocketed — well, Ben has a second chance to profit in mind for you. It involves trading IPOs that are nearing their “lockup expiration,” the date when early investors and insiders are no longer restricted from selling their shares for a specified time period after the IPO date. In this post, he’ll walk you through the lockup expiration of Beyond Meat as an example, and he’ll reveal the companies that currently have lockup expiration dates on the docket.

If you don’t know what you’re doing, you could easily end up in a world of pain. A perfect example is the Swiss Franc in 2015 when the Swiss National Bank unexpectedly unpegged the franc per euro. Shares plummeted 88% the following day. In this post, Kyle Dennis shares a story of a similar event that took place with the Turkish Lira. Banks like BNP Paribas and Barclays lost millions, and Citigroup Inc. (CITI) stared in the face of a $180M loss on a loan to a trader who took a bevy of “wrong-sided” bets linked to the Lira. Kyle will get you up to date on all the investigations involving the Junior trader associated with mismarking of securities to conceal losses of as much as $140 million.
