- [The “Risk Hungry” Money is Pouring In](/the-risk-hungry-money-is-pouring-in/): Hey, Ross here! Historically, inflows into stock funds are quiet before a Presidential election and surge afterward. But this year’s been different—stock fund inflows have been strong well before Election Day. Does that mean inflows will slow down? Not likely. As I explain in today’s Insight, the odds point to even more momentum once election uncertainty clears. This is just another reason to stay in the game.
- [Here’s Why Small-Cap Stocks are Surging](/heres-why-small-cap-stocks-are-surging/): Hey, Ross here!

- [The Smartest Election Bet for Traders](/the-smartest-election-bet-for-traders/): Hey, Ross here! The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is back at one of its highest levels of the year, indicating increased market tension. With the market currently leaning toward a Trump victory, any boost in Kamala Harris’s odds could drive volatility even higher. And if Harris wins? Expect a sharp surge in the VIX. But, as I explain today, heightened volatility isn’t always a bad thing—especially if you know how to play it.
- [The Election Opportunity Window](/the-election-opportunity-window/): Hey, Ross here! The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is back at one of its highest levels of the year, indicating increased market tension. With the market currently leaning toward a Trump victory, any boost in Kamala Harris’s odds could drive volatility even higher. And if Harris wins? Expect a sharp surge in the VIX.

- [This Divergence Opportunity is Still in Play (Don’t Delay)](/this-divergence-opportunity-is-still-in-play-dont-delay/): Hey, Ross here! Earnings season has been mixed, but here’s a bullish signal few are talking about: a surge in CEOs mentioning “earnings bottoming out” this quarter. Historically, this tends to lead to a quick rebound in earnings, fueling the bull market ahead. With so many investors still feeling pessimistic, we’re looking at a real opportunity. In the Insight of the Day, I dive into why staying in the game could pay off in a big way.
- [Earnings are Bottoming Out (Do This Now)](/earnings-are-bottoming-out-do-this-now/): Hey, Ross here!

- [The Sentiment Divergence Opportunity](/the-sentiment-divergence-opportunity/): Hey, Ross here! In today’s chart, the green line shows bullish sentiment among individual investors, while the red line shows the same for institutional investors. Right now, institutional investors—the so-called “smart money”—are growing more bullish, even as individual investors turn bearish. The question is: who would you trust? In the Insight of the Day, I dive into what this sentiment shift means for us.
- [Position Yourself Now for This Kind of Bull Market](/position-yourself-now-for-this-kind-of-bull-market/): Hey, Ross here! Historically, the last six months should’ve been rough for the markets, but this bull market had other plans. Now, we’re heading into the year’s strongest six-month period. Does this guarantee an even bigger market rally? Of course not—there are no certainties in trading, only probabilities. And as I lay out today, the odds are looking pretty good.
- [I’m Loving How Pessimistic Investors Are](/im-loving-how-pessimistic-investors-are/): Hey, Ross here! The Citigroup Economic Surprise Index tracks how actual economic results measure up against forecasts. Right now, it's at a six-month high, meaning economic data is coming in much stronger than expected. Most people are underestimating the economy’s strength—likely because of election-driven pessimism. But as I explain today, this overly negative sentiment actually presents a great opportunity.
