All right, a few thoughts here. Let me just do my job and make sure that I convey the messages from Gary directly to you right at the top of the show to make sure I don't miss anything. We have, let's see, Gary is saying to, all right, United Health, UNH, GAPT down today. That was a big drainer on the Dow. And we'll go into that in a second, but it's just earnings, right? companies report earnings every quarter. We're going to get winners.

We're going to get losers. Lots of things to look for during earnings season. The most important thing that I look for is how the stock reacts to the news. And that's my take on it. But I'll keep reading what Gary sent me to make sure I convey the message. Then I'll go into details. So UNH, gaps down on earnings, drags the Dow down. It was down about 20% I believe it was today.

So it's a big move, 19%, almost 20%. So that was a big, big reason why the Dow was lag. today. Now, outside of that, another big semiconductor update today and a storage day, and they're moving them right into earnings reports. So they're moving up before earnings. Stocks like KLAC broke out today, Corning broke out today, GM gapped up and broke out on earnings, so on and so forth. But I'll get into that in a second too. So Gary wanted me to share those two points. On H, we've got semiconductors data storage stocks are moving and then moving before earnings next. The NASDAQ and the NASDAQ 100 on the verge of breaking out of a long base,

but will need help from earnings from the big cap tech stocks that are reporting later this week. A lot of them are bouncing at least the last three days. So if you look at Apple, you look at Microsoft, you look at Navidia, you look at meta, you know, a lot of them were beaten down. Like Amazon was below the 50 day, it is still below the 50 day moving average. Microsoft below the 50 day moving average. Amazon was below it, but the last week or so it got back above it. Let's see here. Google's acting fine, no problem there. Broadcom is below the 50-day moving average.

Meta is below the – it's actually below its 200-day moving average, Facebook. Tesla is below its 50-day moving average. Berkshire is – is a – let's know, not Berkshire. Hold on a second here. Wrong one. Okay, queues, here we go. Let's see. What else did I want to show you?

Palantir, PLTR. They're below the 50-day moving average. Netflix, way below the 50 and the 200-day moving average. So these are all big-capped stocks in the NASDAQ 100, and they're big-weighted in the NASDAQ-100. Lots of these guys are just sold. They fell a lot, and they just have been lagging, but now they're starting to bounce.

And that's a big reason why the NASDAQ's coming up and leading a day like today. We're getting money rotating back into these names, especially some of these beaten-down names. that have been lagging for a while. All right. So watching that, those are the messages from Gary. You want to make sure I get that out there. And now I can give you the rest of my thoughts on the market.

All right. So when you zoom out, one of the biggest things that I look for is I want to see the forest, not just the trees. And when you look at the forest, it's really important to say, oh, okay, here's what's important. Here's the trend. Here's, you know, be aligned with the trend. Here's what's happened.

and most importantly, we look to the right of the chart, what are the odds favor about what's going to happen next? Because that's where we make our money. What happens next, right? So, okay, let's go ahead and take a look at it. We have the NASDAQ 100. Pretty much, I think it's less than 1% below an all-time high. I tweeted this morning having, let's see here.

Yeah, it was 0.5. I mean, it's a fraction of a percent. Let's just put it that way. below its all-time high, and that's a QQQ. So the NASDAQ-100 is about to break out and hit fresh record highs. Yeah, it's 0.9%. So less than 1% below than an all-time high. Let's just keep it super simple.

The S&P 500, same thing, a fraction of 1% below an all-time high. So you have the S&P 500 pretty much at an all-time high. The NASDAQ 100 less than 1% below an all-time high. And lots of the other indices just hit all-time highs recently, especially the small caps and the mid-cap stocks, they already broke out and they're leading. So this year of 2026, for now, it's still a strong year. We had a very strong rally from April's low last year after the tariff tantrum or the scare. And then the market just really just ripped higher from April up until October.

And then over the last few months in the fourth quarter of 25 into now January of 26, the market's just been going sideways. This is the cues, the S&P. You know, some of the smaller indices and the midcaps, they already broke out. But the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ 100 are both just going sideways to consolidate a very big run. And that, folks, is healthy when you zoom out. You know, when you have a market that pretty much at every chance in the world of fall, I mean, just this month alone has been major headline after major headline after major headline,

the Venezuela, then Greenland and the trade this and the tariffs and blah, blah, all this stuff happening. And the market refuses the budge. That tells me pretty much everything I need to know. Now, tomorrow we have the Fed meeting, the first one for 2026, and we have lots of big earnings in the next 48 hours. A lot of the big cap stocks, these big tech stocks specifically are reporting earnings. The reaction to the news is just as important, if not more important for me than the news

itself. Why? Because it tells me what the big investors are doing with their money, not just what they say on TV or whatever, you know, what they say on the news. No, it's like, what are they actually buying? What are they selling? What are they doing? That's the money. What shows up on your statement? Price. Everything else. The fundamentals, the earnings, the valuations, the analyst opinions, all that. It's important, sure, but it doesn't show up on the statement. The price is what shows up. And that's... determines whether we win or lose, how we do, all that fun stuff. So we're in a situation where the environment remains strong. We have not fallen. We had every chance in the world to fall.

And instead of falling, what's happened? The market's just perched near all-time highs. While we've had several stocks go through some decent pullbacks and corrections, the software, like Gary's been on like white on rice. Software stocks have been going down. Like service now is a good example. Right. Apple had a big decline recently. Meta below the 200 day, right?

Netflix, getting hit pretty hard. But the market just goes sideways. To me, that tells me it's a matter of when, not if, we break out hit new highs. Now, of course, that's bearing some unforeseen event not occurring. In other words, we have a big negative event, you know, or some outlier event, cars, yeah, the market can easily go down. But the fact that we haven't gone down to me is a bullish event. That's the main point that I want to show, that I want to convey, because that tells me that the market's strong, number one. Number two, it tells me that the environment, you know,

forget the news. It's the reaction to his. The environment continues to be strong. Tailwind is, the market's back. You know, the markets has every chance it could fall. It's not fall. So that's, that's important. The other thing is earnings. As we go through earnings season, and I'll cover a lot more in detail here in the next few minutes as we go forward,

but I just want to, again, big picture, is zoom out and say, okay, what does the market expect to happen? More importantly, what actually happens? How does the stock react to the earnings, like a UNH gapping down 20% in a day? No, bueno. To put it nicely, that's not a good sign. Now, they could beat their estimates.

They could raise guidance. All I care about is what? The stock's reaction. Stock's down 20%. I don't care about anything else. To me, that tells me everything I need to know. It trumps everything else. And then the reaction to the news also very important.

But not just that. How is the stock performing? Is the stock in an uptrend? Is the stock in a downtrend? Is the stock, you know, acting healthy? Is it above the 50 day? Is it below the 50 day? So one and so forth.

So putting all the pieces together, that tells me everything I need to know about putting the probability. It's all about the odds and the probability of what happens next. That said, we've got a lot more to cover. I'm Adam Sarhan. This is the one and only Investors Edge.

And welcome once again to Investors Edge. I'm Adam Sarhanen for Gary Kay, who's out today? In case you missed any part of the show, you can go to GaryK.com, listen live or archive. In this case, you can listen to the archive. You can rewind it fast forward at your convenience on any device you want. All right, so we spoke about the market, gave you some notes from Gary. Next, our earnings season. We spoke about earnings.

We're in the middle of, you know, we're in the thick of earning season right now. And as we go through, you're going to see lots of different events occur. I'm going to try to use my words here, carefully. And our job is just to stack the odds of success in our favor, really just make sense of what's happening. Interpret the data, right? So I always like to say the market is speaking and then ask, are you listening? Well, how does the market speak?

It's not verbal. It's nonverbal communication. The way the market speaks to us is by doing this, by moving, right? by going up, by going down. In fact, most human communication I was told is nonverbal. Think about how most people communicate. The market's not going to come up and say, hey, I'm going higher. No, but if you see a lot of stocks, if you see that moving up,

if you see the major indices perched near all-time highs, you see the small caps and mid-caps break out and hit new all-time highs. All that happened in the last few weeks. And you've seen a lot of geopolitical headlines and a lot of this and that. Every reason in the world for the market to fall, instead of we're rallying, or at least moving sideways, that tells me, folks, the action is for now, it's very, very healthy. So a few things. One, how do I watch the market or pay attention to what's happening? I built a tool.

It's called MarketTerminal.com. Feel free to go take a free trial to it. This is my tool, something I've built, where it helps me make sense of the market. First thing it does is it gives me stocks breaking out in real time. So all day, every day, I can see how many stocks are breaking out. A day like today, for example, we had 43 stocks break out. Okay. So I want to go through, and I sort it by market cap.

So I go through and say, okay, what are some of those stocks that broke out? This is how the market speaks to me, right? KLAC, we spoke about this earlier, broke out today, hit a new high. Corning, GLW is a ticker there. Broke out, nice gap up today. I think it was up about 15%. broke out of a nice base on heavy volume. Good action there. Next, SYY, big move breaking out of, I guess, three and six, seven, eight day trading range. Good action there. General Motors, GM, nice breakout there

of a multi-month base. A little bit of a choppiness that tried to break out back in early January, to pull back a little bit, and then bounced off the 50, and now it broke out today. Petro-Brasilaria, I can't pronounce it. Petrobras is the ticker PBR. So Petrobas, there you go. I think you had some Portuguese name at the beginning of this thing. But Petrobras is the ticker. PBR is a ticker, excuse me, oil and gas, huge oil and gas company.

Big breakout there, 1362 and then 1489. Then you've got, let's see, what else can I can share with you that broke out today? That caught my attention. ING broke out today. And again, these aren't buy recommendations, no investment advice is being given. All this is is just me wanting to be able to go out there and see the action in real time. All this updates in real time. Barclays, BCS broke out today.

ING broke out today. And then I look for themes, right? I want to find, do we see it like recently in the last few weeks, we've got a lot of gold stocks break out, a lot of silver stocks breaking out, right? Today I'm seeing international banks break out. ING is a European bank, Barclays, BCS, breaking out today, European bank. UBS breaking out today, European Bank, Swiss Bank, Deutsche Bank, German Bank,

breaking out today, ticker symbol DB, right? So I have 43 stocks breaking out, and a bunch of them are European banks. All right, that's the market speaking. It doesn't, and again, this takes me two seconds now. We have complicated algorithms and advanced, you know, blah, blah, blah, AI, and we do all this current. It took me three years to build this thing, but finally it's available.

It's the way that I'd like to see the market and make sense out of it. So we get the breakout sorted by market cap, and I can go through every day and see, you know, really what's happening in real time. I've got other banks that are breaking out too. I have a Japanese bank. MFG broke out today. Let's see, what else jumped out at me today?

New bank, NU broke out today. This is a Brazilian-Mexican company. Let's see here. Other stocks besides banks broke out too. we had, let's see, a pharmaceutical biotech company broke out today, so on and so forth. So that was KNSA, let's see, AVT little breakout there. So again, just want to see what's happening. Now, before the stock breaks out, it's setting up the breakout.

Well, all right, I want to see that too. So I added a section called setups. So I could see today we've got 30 high-ranked setups. And you've got setups by large cap stocks, small and mid-cap setups, you know, whatever it is that you want to focus on by all means. But for me, I want to find stocks that are setting up before they break out. So we've got something like Royal R.Y, World Bank of Canada, Merck, MRK, big pharmaceutical company or healthcare company. GEV. This is GE-V-V-V-V-V-Vernova. They do nuclear power. Very, very powerful, pardon the pun there, business.

They power data centers and they put nuclear. It's nuclear. I mean, we know it. AI needs power. There's an electric grid shortage of, there's the electric grid in the US. It's been 40, 50 years since it's been upgraded. It needs an upgrade. And GEV does that and it's a spinoff of GE.

FedEx is setting up the breakout. CN is setting up to break out. TD Bank in Toronto Drone Bank is setting up to breakout or just about breaking out. I can go through on and on and on and on, but that's, There's so many of these things that, okay, I want to see the stocks before they break out. So that's a setup section. Next, we've got breakdowns, which is the opposite of breakouts, like UNH, for example, was a breakdown today. Humana Health Care HUM, GAP down today and broke down below support.

CVS, big gap down today on the United Health News. So again, putting the pieces together, oh, that makes sense. Here's what's happening, right? PINS P-I-N-S, Pinterest, gap down, well, gap down and broke down today. So there's breakouts and there's breakdowns. So that's really helpful for me. Then we've got movers. Today we had 394 stocks that moved up.

If a stock's up over 3%, I have it here is moving up. Down, we have 242. So we had 394, almost 400 up and about 250 down. I'm rounding. All right. That tells me more stocks were up today than we're down. that's big, right? Volume movers, I can sort by that.

Stocks that gap up and gap down. We had 22 stocks gap up today, about 19 that gap down. All that's available. I mean, these are just tabs. You just click on it and boom, right on market terminal. Now, extended hours. I want to see extended hours breakouts, extended hours breakdowns available. I was tired, like right now we're in the heart of earnings season.

We'd have 20, 30, 40, 50 companies report earnings, big movers, this thing. I had no idea for years, for decades, what was happening until the open, and really a few minutes after the open, because I had to manually scan for it. I'm like, well, now we've got the data available. Let me go out there and look at it. So stocks like today, right now it's after hours. I've got FFIV, which is F5, up about 11% after hours. I've got NXT, next tracker, up a bit, same thing, up nicely after hours.

So you can easily make sense of what's happening. So up next, we've got a lot more to cover. I'm Adam Sarhan. This is the one and only Investors Edge. Guys, it's no use putting it off.

Fast forward at your convenience 24-7 on any device, all for free. So spoke about the earning season, spoke about the market, spoke about how I look at the market. I got a lot of questions. How do you do it? What are you looking for?

This, that, you know, I want to make sense out of it. And I want to really just listen to the market. And how do I do that? By staying objective, it's important. Keep your emotions at bay and focus on price action. Organize the data any way that works for you. I do it based on a way that works for me. and I built market terminal.com to help other people see it the way that it works for me.

I just keep things super simple, folks. However you structure this, any way you want, I coach a lot of people. I talk to a lot of investors, traders, and professionals, individuals. Same thing. I mean, it's over and over and over again, right? Human nature doesn't change. People with a plan, people that are disciplined, people that can actually follow their plan, tend to outperform those that don't have a plan and just wing it in almost any endeavor.

It's not a hard rule. It's just a generality. Okay. What's your plan? I ask investors all the time. Well, you know, I look. One guy told me today is like, I watch the NBC. I'm like, okay, you're happy with your results in the market?

He goes, no. So, okay, well, what are you doing? Do something different. I mean, to me, it's obvious, but I was doing that too. I've been there. I know how it feels. Make emotional decisions. I mean, I have a book.

It's called Psychological Analysis. The whole idea there is fundamental and technical analysis and my humble opinion is not enough to beat the market. If it was, everybody would own a few hours in the Caribbean. Something's missing. I've studied these super successful people, and they make rational, not emotional decisions with their money. That's the whole point of the book.

And it was number one at Amazon every day for three months. And thank you all that's support of it and leaving nice reviews on it. It's very helpful to other people. And the idea is have structure. How do you look at markets? Here's my structure, and I built market turmoil. Okay, great.

I want to see the action. Simplify. The teacher of kids are simplified for actions. Here you go. Here's how I simplify it. Up, down. Extended hours right now. We're in the middle of earning season.

Every day we're going to have hundreds of stocks report earnings. Okay, I want to see those stocks. I want to see what's up and what's down. So I've got an extended hours section, which tells me extended hour stocks up. Up, extended hour stocks down, and I'll go through and read some of them to you now. Breakouts, breakdowns, up, down. The left side of the screen is to help you find ideas.

The right side is to research those ideas. So extended hours up, we've got NXT, we've got Texas Instruments up nicely after reporting earnings. NXPI up nicely after reporting earnings. MCHP, microchip technology, up nicely. Sweet green up a little bit in the after hour session. change by the open tomorrow. But that's what I have as of now. LRN also up a little bit a extended hours. No that's up more. MANH is still right after the close we've got it's still a fluid situation. TRMB is another one that looks like it's up after hours. So those are some of the

after hours movers up. After hours movers down BVC which is Santec holding CRML. It's a thinner trader. QRVO that's down. It's probably going to be a breakdown tomorrow or a gap down tomorrow skyworks sw k s another one that's down big g e f down big uh weatherford international w frr d down big in the after hours and v en u those is a small cap one but it's down decently after hours and that's what i do as far as organizing the data we've got after hours breakouts after hours breakdowns after hours movers again up down super simple next we've got Strongest stocks. You know how you can go on a weekly chart, monthly chart, annual chart, or we've got those.

But I want to see the strongest stocks on the daily, the day, the week, the month, and the year. Same with the weakest. What are the weakest ones this year? I told you I speak to investors all the time. I ask them all the time, what's the strongest stock in the market right now? And don't, you know, I'm asking you the same question. Don't worry. I can't hear you.

So you can answer it. You can either know or not know it. Super Bowl's coming up. Everyone knows the strongest stock in their team in their sports league, baseball, basketball, soccer, football, whatever it is that you like. When it comes to markets and investing, what's the strongest stock in the market? People you say, oh, yeah, you know, Navidia, Apple, some whatever stock they hear in the news, they don't know the strongest performing stock in the market.

I want to know it. It's IBRX, by the way. And if you want to sort it by market cap, you can do that too. You can say, hey, what are the strongest stocks by market cap? And you can look at, you know, large cap stocks. Sandisk, SNDK, and then ticker symbol B, B, B, are some of the strongest stocks in the market this year. Sandisk, I think, is up almost triple digits this year. I'm not mistaken.

Let's see here, almost triple digits, 92 percent or some crazy amount this month. It's insane. B.E. insane in a good way. another big energy stock that's up almost 50% or 60% somewhere in that range. I think 65% somewhere in that range so far this year. Very strong starts of the year. I love to find leading stocks because an object and motion tends to stay in motion.

Newton taught us that, right? So anyway, that's the strongest and weakest. Follow the money. What are the big stocks the institutions are buying? What are stocks insiders are buying? We know there's analysts targets. What stocks are below the. targets price. You got Oracle, Navidia, CRM, you know, Netflix is down below the target price.

Congress, I want to see if Congress, a senator, politician owns my stock. I've got that built into here onto market terminal. So again, you can go through, you can see which stocks Congress are buying, which stocks Congress are selling. You've got upgrades and downgrades. You can see that. Growth. I'm a growth investor. I love finding stocks that are growing. Well, we've got stocks with strong estimates, strong growth, strong revenue acceleration, triple-digit earnings, and triple-digit growth. And again, just to give me the ideas, I'm not going to buy every single one of these. In fact, most of them I'm not going to buy, and that's okay. It's a law of nature. Most things aren't a good fit, and that's okay. Mentioned baseball. The best baseball hitters

hit, what, three out of ten pitches, and they strike out seven out of ten, and those are the best of the best of the best. It's a law of nature. Look at an apple tree. It has a thousand seeds. 99, I'm exaggerating just to illustrate the point, die those seeds. One seed becomes a new tree and nature flourishes because you have another 1,000 trees, 1,000 seeds, excuse me, 999 die. One more becomes a new tree. It's asymmetric risk to return, folks. Same thing with trading and investing. Warren Buffett says know your circle of competence. Know it really well. to say no the more you can say no the better the stronger you are there's value stocks there's value criteria there's growth at a reasonable price income we have

dividend growers dividend aristocrats quality stocks cash flow wide moat strong balance sheets new highs new highs new highs two-week highs I've got all-time highs all-time lows I want to see stocks hitting all-time highs how do you find that information should be it's a click of a mouse like one button you know to teach our kids that simplify fractions. Same thing here. Let's just keep it simple. Which stocks are making all-time highs? I can go through those right now. There's LRCX, Lamb Research, M-U, Micron, K-L-A-C-10C-C-Torch broke out today, AMAT, applied materials, ASML, N-VS. These are just stocks that are some of them that are making, JNJ, Johnson & Johnson, all-time high, APH, Corning, GLW, all-time high, so on and so forth.

So as you go through the list, you can say, oh, no, no, no, no, oh, that one looks good. Let me do some more research. And then on the right hand side, right away, tell you, hey, what's their revenue? I want to be able to visualize it. Earnings, visualize it. Number of institutions that own it, visualize it. Our own proprietary ratings. Very, very, very, very powerful.

And you can go into the earnings and institutional investors, see which investors own it, valuation metrics, financials, everything. visualized, analysts, you can see the price target, company management, the press releases, all that stuff. You want to create watch lists, you can do that. We've got AI that actually works. We've got a screener that is extremely powerful. Quote panels. If you want to put quotes up on your screen, we can do that also. Calendar, do you want to see which stocks are reporting earnings and when? Here we go. Let's go, let's go. Let's go. We've got that. You've got earnings calendar. You've got not a it's just there's so much to it right so economic calendar earnings count

dividend calendar IPO calendar so so powerful so anyway all that's available market terminal I'm sharing that with you in case it helps you it helps me organize the market you don't have to use it you don't like it that's great you like it that's great too another thing cool thing that I have every ETF there's an ETF holdings under markets you can type in the QQQQ you can see every holding that ETF has the weight of each stock in that ETF and the impact on the ETF. Super, super fun stuff.

So up next, just have structure, folks. That's the whole point of this. Be showing you what I do. I just want you to have structure. Up next, you've got a lot more to cover. I'm Adam Sarhan. This is the one and only Investor's Edge. Guys, it's no use putting it off.

In case you're just joining us, or missed any part of the show, you can go to GaryK.com. rewind, fast forward, listen anytime you want for free on any device 24-7. All right. So a few things here to consider. First off, we recap the market.

Second off, we talked about earning season. Third off, we talked about having structure, which is the most important thing to look for. How do you create structure? You know, learn to make rational, not emotional decisions. I, for years, was making emotional ones. learned pretty much made every mistake you can possibly make under the sun and then some thankfully i've had the i don't know if you what you want to call it but the ability the tenacity the desire to learn and improve and stick with it not give up which is most people just tend to say

okay it's difficult i'm not going to do it but no i double down went the other direction i got to figure it out got to learn got to learn got to learn i know i don't know i've got one job in life it's learn. It's literally the story of my life since day one, right? What do even kids come out? They don't know how to walk. Okay, let's crawl. And then you can learn how to get up, fall, get up, fall. As long as you don't break any bones, which you don't when you're a baby walking, learning how to walk, you're fine. It's asymmetric risk to reward. One day you get up and start walking. Wow. I'll take that trade, put that, you know, thinking decisions as trades. But having structure where you limit the risk when wrong and when things go right, you let the reward be maximum, like maximize

Why is the reward? Like nature, right? You have a thousand seeds come over an apple tree. 999 die. One becomes a new tree. That's a good trade. Even though most of those seeds died, when you're wrong, you lose one seed. Nature is wrong.

They lose one seed. Okay. When it's right, has a new tree. And then another thousand and then another so on and so forth. Same thing with the market. When I'm trading and I'm investing, I want to have structure. I want to be able to take all the information, most of it's noise, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, these brilliant minds, had a great line.

They said they focus on signals, not noise. And what does that mean? They focus on things that actually matter. A lot of the things in the market, it's just noise. It literally doesn't matter, which is interesting, but that's just the way it works. The market's structured that way. So my job is to say, okay, let me filter.

the noise as much noise as possible and just focus on the signals price volume and everything else afterwards but really price is primary everything else including volume in my world is secondary why because what shows up on your statement right it's price so when you look at the market what I like to do is have a plan when the market's closed now that's nights weekends you know there's a great book written decades ago title of the book is how I made $2 million in the market or trading stocks by Nicholas Darvis. If you go on Amazon, you type in Nicholas Darvis or you type in how I made $2 million

in the stock market. You'll see it. It's a great book. And in it, it gave a great story of how a ballroom dancer back before the internet made $2 million decades ago. And that was like maybe 20 or 30 or 50 million now, literally trading stocks without looking at anything. for charts. He would get charts mailed to him or FedEx. At the time it was no FedEx,

the time it was Telex to him or whatever they means that they send them the pictures. And he would just draw boxes, rectangle bases or flat bases. And he would tell his broker, here the orders, buy it here if it breaks out and sell it here if the breakout fails. And then he would get the report the next day. The stock either broke out or it didn't. If it broke out, it either continued going higher or it rolled over and his stop was filled and he'd lose, let's say, one, right? Think of the seeds, one seed or one dollar or one unit, one percent of your portfolio. Whatever it is that works for you by all means. Do it.

And then he left, he was in Asia and he was doing it that way working very successful, went back to New York, went into the broker's office and jumping up and down everybody. He thought he had a magic touch. And he started making emotional decisions and buying it. selling like everybody else listening to the crowd and he got crushed. Why? He had a process. He had structure and he deviated from his plan. He left, he stayed at the Plaza Hotel in New York, this was all in the story, and then he left went to Paris. And again, he was removed from the day-to-day noise and what happened? His return, he started having phenomenal returns again. Asymmetric risk to reward. When he's wrong, he's wrong one. Whatever that one unit is for you,

1%, $10, $2,000, it doesn't matter. It's all percentages. That's what matters. And what matters is the reward is greater than the risk. And when you're right, stock could double a triple. It can go up 10%. Risk one when you're wrong. When you're right, make 10.

However you want to do it, whatever structure works for you, by all means, I strongly recommend having a plan and then trade your plan. Keep track of those ideas. Did I actually follow my plan? Was I disciplined enough to show up and do this, you know, do what I said I was going to do. So I checked, I meet personally. I have a plan nights and weekends. I like to look at stocks.

During the day, I do too. But really, the decisions to buy and sell I do on the weekends. And then if the stock triggers hits my level, my predetermined level, I have an area I'm going to enter. So there's three magic questions I ask, and you can write this down if you want before I buy a stock. Number one, where am I going to enter? Number two, where am I going to exit? Number three, how much do I risk if I'm wrong? So again, where do I enter?

Where do I exit? How much do I risk if I'm wrong? Over time, that becomes a very, very valuable tool for me to use because it forces me to have structure. It forces me to plan my trades. And then it forces me really to avoid getting caught up in the day-to-day noise because the stock shows up on TV and, oh, yeah, everyone, my friend calls me, I'm just, go look at this stock or whatever the case.

is. There's a plan. I like to have a plan. Now, some folks do really well, maybe without a plan. God bless them. Good for them. All the more power to them. For me, know thyself is one of my favorite sayings. Know thyself. Adam, I need structure. I need a plan. Otherwise, I'm not going to follow it. And my performance. It's very clear. When I trade with the plan, when I trade without a plan, just like we're having with Darvice and many other folks. So the point of this. is to help you share this with you so it can help you as well and ask yourself what's your plan and this is a business of intelligence right it's not oh the smartest guys in the world are richest guys in the world no in fact the universe rewards action not just intelligence intelligent action is

what i say it is but you can't the smartest guys in the world can't trade their way out of a paper bag got doctors lawyers accountants all that kind of stuff it's a discipline to follow through the emotions, you know, emotions, controlling those emotions and learning how to make rational ones. So I think that's all the time we have for today. As always, I want to thank you very much for being here. This is the one and only Investor's Edge.
