[JOIN OUR LIVE TRADING SESSION @ 6am PT / 9am ET]( [Shadow] Hello investor, The day has arrived, as the central bank will announce its rate decision today. A 25 basis-point hike is almost certain, but traders will look for any clues whether it would be the last hike. Already, the Fed Reserve is feeling the pressure from a group of Democratic lawmakers to halt rate hikes. The 10 senators and representatives, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, blasted the central bank’s monetary policy strategy that has a “potential to throw millions of Americans out of work,” in a letter Monday to Fed Chair Jerome Powell. In Powell’s most recent press conference on Feb. 1, he thought “that there’s a path to getting inflation back down to 2% without a really significant economic decline or a significant increase in unemployment.” So far, there are little signs of the economy cracking beyond the collapse of three banks. Ford reported its 1st quarter that smashed Wall Street’s estimates, with its adjusted EPS coming in at 63 cents versus 41 cents expected. Its fleet and legacy operations stood out to cover Ford’s losses in its electric vehicle operations. CFO John Lawler said it would take a while for the carmaker to post profits from its EV division. Ford expects to lose about $3 billion from this segment. Lawler expects its division to report a positive EBIT margin of 8% by the end of 2026, and its first-generation EVs by 2024. Ford CFO John Lawler (Photo: Bloomberg) JPMorgan Chase’s trading desk, led by Andrew Tyler, said the “hike and pause” scenario is the most likely. Why? Regional banks saw another plunge with two banks seeing their shares plummeting by at least 20%. All of this is likely to lead to a tightening of lending standards. Some analysts expect tightening credit conditions to be an equivalent of a 25 basis-point hike or more, so the central bank may not need to do another round of rate hikes. - “Here the Fed would be relying on a tightening of lending standards stemming from the banking crisis to act as de facto rate hikes. Any language that the market interprets as the Fed being on pause should benefit stocks,” the JPMorgan team wrote. “This outcome is not fully priced into equities.” iCapital's Anastasia Amoroso agreed, as she said Powell indicated in the last FOMC meeting that the credit tightening could factor in his decision: - “There’s still pain throughout the sector,” iCapital’s Anastasia Amoroso said. “And the reason why I think the bank action should really matter to the Fed is because, remember, in the last FOMC meeting, Fed Chair Powell really gave us new metrics to watch in terms of whether they’re going to be raising rates or not. And that is the extent of the credit tightening that’s happening in the economy.” The Federal Reserve will announce its decision at 2pm EST, and Chair Jerome Powell is expected to appear at the press conference at 2:30pm. Want To Bet Big On A.I.? Buy This Stock Immediately Today’s Stock Pick: ZoomInfo Technologies, Inc. ([ZI]( A while ago, I browsed books on Amazon. Saw a book that I liked. Added it to the cart. And of course, what happened next? Amazon recommended books that I may also like. Boy, these recommendations were irresistible! I ended up adding six more books to the cart. This happens to you all the time, right? Now, I went to Barnes and Noble the next day to pick up a book that I wanted to read. Naturally, I browsed through the bookshelves. I had an epiphany moment because I didn’t find any other book that interested me. Why? Some books that could interest me are scattered all over the shelves. So, artificial intelligence is really, really, really powerful. Imagine if you were a salesperson. You need good leads to meet the quota. Finding leads is like browsing for books. If you closed a lead that was perfect for your product, there are hundreds of other leads with similar characteristics. However, if you are searching for them manually (like I did in Barnes and Noble), you will be lucky to find one or two on a given day. With artificial intelligence? You can find dozens of them in five minutes! What does this mean? Business takes off like a rocket. You focus on high-probability leads and close them fast. Salespeople’s morale soars because nobody likes prospecting with a low success rate. That’s what ZoomInfo does for its customers. It leverages data (like Amazon does) to engage the right customers at the right time. Best of all, it scrapes data all over the Internet to keep databases updated. A lead may move on to another company. Therefore, ZoomInfo would update the data automatically. In fact, ZoomInfo makes more than 250 million changes to contact information every month. Signals around potential purchase intent are also available. It helps answer the key questions: Did the person just get funding? Is there a new executive in the role? Is the company opening a new location in the area? And the list goes on. Anybody who works in sales knows that “triggers” are the holy grail of hot prospects. A new CEO will be eager to make changes, and you must hit him/her before vendors are chosen. You would get in ZoomInfo just at the inflection point. IT firm Gartner estimates that 60% of business-to-business sales will be data-driven by 2025. Management believes the current penetration is in the single digits. So, the growth opportunity could be six times larger than today. However, you don’t have to wait for growth. The business is B-O-O-M-I-N-G. Its recent quarter had a 36% revenue growth. The retention rate is absurdly high at 104%. In short, ZoomInfo is easily one of the fastest-growing software in the country. (Source: ZoomInfo) Moreover, large accounts are exploding. The number of clients spending more than $100,000 jumped above 1,100 – a growth of 70% year-over-year. Plus, its engagement rate (daily active users) is at an all-time high. Its client base is enviable with big logos like Affirm, Verizon, Workday, and Raymond James.

It helps companies recruit and hire talents. The concept is the same. ZoomInfo’s AI offers key information that helps HR track the hiring process. As for the second catalyst, ZoomInfo is expanding its international footprint by opening offices in London and India. Bottom line: ZoomInfo is an explosive stock that is doubling its revenue every two years. It operates in the hottest megatrend – artificial intelligence.

BEFORE THE BELL Starts 6am PT / 9am ET Our newest LIVE session starts when the big institutions and elite traders do, well before the market opens. We'll look at realtime dark pool data as the market movers position themselves for the tra ding day in the secret off market exchanges.

Trade Algo's Senior Analyst Luke Russell will walk you through the key tools and strategies that the institutional investors and top traders use to profit from high volatility in the market. THE FINAL HOUR Starts Noon PT / 3pm ET According to Wall Street Journal approximately 20% of the trading volume happens at the last 30 minutes of the day. Institutions make the majority of these trades in private dark pool exchanges -- away from the public’s eyes. The timing happens for two reasons: 1) Index funds make their trades to mimic the closing price of a stock. 2) Billionaires trade near the end of the day because they anticipate major news that will be released during after-hours. Because they trade in dark pools, the public doesn’t know about these trades until one day later. We’ve consistently spotted the correlation between a spike in dark pool volume at the end of the day and the next day’s price movement. In the Golden Hour we will identify and analyze these movements so you can trade with confidence. CATCH THE SPARK Starts 4pm PT / 7pm ET Catch The Spark is led by trading expert Luke Russell, starting at 4pm PT / 7pm ET. Open to all this session is a recap of the day and a prep for the next trading day with an emphasis on identifying and examining "spark" orders, those large institutional trades taking place behind closed doors in off-market exchanges, that drive stock movement. Bring the stock or options trade you've been waiting to make and we'll show you the information the hedge-funds, big institutions and top traders use to evaluate and time the trade. [REGISTER NOW!
