Ep. 608: Frankly Speaking

Description This week, I want to take some to stress how important it is to take certain things into consideration when making changes to your portfolio. Specifically, I recap how to think about market moves when corporate earnings are announced. And I'll tell you how I strategically position my portfolio among long and short-term stocks. We'll also take a long look at Tesla's woes... and how to trade on news for this company and other momentum stocks. Lastly, we'll talk about how to measure the current value of a stock... when everyone else is focused on market moves.
