GDP worst since 2008 and stocks rally – Here’s why…

4/29/2020

0 Comments

 
​Here Are Today's Highlights:
  • This morning stocks opened strong and never looked back.
  • There was disappointing data announced pre-market: The U.S. GDP shrank by 4.8%. This was the biggest contraction since the financial crisis. But traders expect bad economic news because of the crisis.
  • Here's the good news traders were focusing on: Positive results from Gilead’s (GILD) Remdesivir study. Gilead released their results showing that patients improved when taking the drug to treat the virus.Even Dr. Fauci said that the drug showed “clear-cut” positive effects when treating the virus.
  • With today’s gains the S&P is on track for its best month since 1974.
  • Crude Oil (CL) snapped a 2-day losing streak. With a 22.3% gain, Crude Oil ended the day at $15.09 a barrel.
  • Alphabet (GOOGL) jumped 8.9% on earnings. The company’s revenue growth was lower, but not as bad as expected. And YouTube ad revenues were actually better than expected.
  • Looking at the earnings calendar, Twitter (TWTR), McDonald’s (MCD), and American Airlines (AAL) are a few of the bigger names that will report tomorrow.

US GDP shrinks by 4.8%

4/29/2020

This is the worst decline in GDP we’ve seen since 2008…

We all know things are bad right now...like REAL bad!
Everyday there’s a new terrible headline.
And though I believe staying informed is important, I think it’s also important to take it in small doses right now.
It’s sort of like trading in that, at the end of the day, I can’t control what the market will do...I have to go with what the market is giving me at that time.
Let me tell you from experience...when you fight the markets, the markets will always win. It’s like I have printed on my mug “Trade What You SEE, Not What you THINK.”
Because probably much like you, on multiple occasions, my response has been “OMG!” to a new report or headline...yet, as of this morning the Nasdaq (NDX) is less than 10% from its all time highs:

After the bell TSLA and FB report Earnings. Lets see how the markets respond tomorrow.
