Today’s Heat Map👇

I'm going to be honest with you.
Most people should not own stocks.
Most people should not use options.Why?
Because most people can't control their emotions when the market is volatile.
They panic sell the dips and FOMO buy the tops.

Fear & Greed Index For Today👇
64 yesterday & 65 today.
It is interesting how this trended higher when the market went red. I will consider this basically flat from yesterday.
Be greedy when others are fearful.
Be fearful when others are greedy.

Million Dollar Lesson👇
I can make any chart look bullish or bearish at any given time. Don't get sucked into charts cause they are sexy. The number one thing that matters is the companies profits not the fibonacci retracement.
I currently generate about $30k/month with stock options.
Learn how here👇
Interest Rates Are Gravity
Today we got the October data for the PCE index (personal consumption expenditures)
Basically PCE means how much money households are spending on items they buy.
It’s a sign of economic strength along with a metric of inflation.
If PCE was low, that indicates low demand in the economy to buy things. Which means ppl prob don’t have money to spend which in turn will lower inflation most likely, which in turn could cause the fed to cut rates more aggressively to stimulate the economy.
If PCE was high, that indicates there is high demand in the economy to buy things. This means ppl prob have money to blow and are ok to pay higher prices which in turn can push inflation higher, which in turn could cause the fed to keep interest rates higher for longer.
The feds target for PCE is around 2%, so we are close.
This all is a trickle effect.
If inflation is lower, they can lower rates because it’s not necessary to have policy tight when inflation is low.
This is great for stocks because as you guys know, rates are like gravity on the stock market.
Lower rates = nobody wants to waste their time in a low yielding bond or CD, so stocks are the only game in town. There is less competition with stocks.

So what is the key takeaway from this report?👇
Rates are ULTRA important for stock valuations
The report came in at expectations.
The report indicates the U.S. economy is strong, but not overheating to the point that the fed needs to keep policy tighter for longer.
So overall, this is good.
What Actually Moves The Price of Stocks
So as you guys know, I feel the market is a little overvalued for the last few months.
It is no surprise that Warren Buffett has soooo much cash on the sidelines. He can’t find any deals right now.
I am not saying we are in a bubble by any means, but you are paying about 10% over MSRP right now for most stocks at a minimum.
I stick to my principles and ONLY buy when I have a margin of safety.
The market moves based on fear and greed.
Right now we are a little greedy as you know, which is not the most optimal time to be putting high amounts of money into the market.
So what should I do with my capital on the sidelines?👇
Continue to DCA into VOO & QQQ.
Only buy individual companies if you are getting a good price.
Only use options to magnify your returns on companies you have a high margin of safety on for the given trade.
