No Santa Rally... Are Markets DOOMED for 2025?!

[@ryannemdjen]

I've just begun learning about value investing, and I've found that many good stocks are undervalued despite their intrinsic value. If you had $200,000 to create a strong investment portfolio, which stocks would you choose for better returns?

[@garnold-l5p]

I think a good investment portfolio should have three basic things: ETFs for diversification, dividend stocks for cash flow, and leading tech stocks. With your budget, it's a good idea to talk to a fiduciary financial advisor for expert advice.

[@Mlanderos-t9e]

I totally agree with you. I started out investing on my own too and lost quite a bit. After the 2020 crash, I managed to pull out about $160k. I then invested that money with an analyst, and in just seven months, I made almost $580,000. It's amazing how having the right guidance can turn things around!

[@StephenRobello]

This is incredible. Could you recommend who you work with? I really could use some help at this moment

[@Mlanderos-t9e]

My CFA, Laurel Ann Watkins, is a renowned figure in her field. I recommend researching her name online; you’ll find all her credentials and everything you need to work with a reliable professional. With many years of experience, she is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

[@StephenRobello]

Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.

Thank you Matt. I'd like to let you know that you are my favorite one. Last Friday I followed your guidance on the ES. I held my ES long 27 points which it the first time that I ever held my scalping position that long. I love your informative analysis and clear explanations that always presenting along with the confluences which make it more rational of your conclusion. See you in the Discord tomorrow.

[@politicalpatterns]

​@@TradeBrigadethanks for all you do brother. Your discipline is such a guide. You have great work ethic. Things I possess, but need reinforcement. Learning from your approach has helped me face some one of my biggest fears: risk tolerance. I've learned through winning and losing in the market -> a different approach to taking on non-financial risk. I'm facing fears outside of the market as a result, if you can vibe with that? I don't mean I'm taking stupid risks, just allowing exposure to people and situations (safe ones) that I was usually averse towards. Scales up, Matt. Whether you intended it or not. I find anxiety when things go wrong is actually lower. Weird but I like it. For anyone concerned: I do see a therapist, lol 😅

[@DarthTraderPro]

As usual, a fantastic video Matt. One of the first I couldn't catch right away. My 6-year-old saw the notification on my phone and took to my office and closed the door so he could continue with daddy time. Great to be able to relax and catch it on a quiet Sunday morning. Thanks for all you do and have a great day! And by the way, OMG 552! LOL

[@johnl9977]

You're the man Matt. Many times I would have printed big time if I threw caution to the winds and just entered positions at the levels you pointed out. Sure, that may be only one or two trades, but if they are the right trades, who cares?, even one is enough. I'm just a hobby trader, I don't have all the bells and whistles, mainly use just channels and support/resistance levels day trading.

[@colinm_pe]

[@tmclbnk]

I’m looking for the SPY going higher past 603 before the SPY drops about 6.5% to 522. The 10yr and the 30yr auctions will be interesting.

[@billmurphy5894]

Mathew, thank you again for an excellent presentation, well done! I was particularly interested in your bond review. My take, when short end (Fed) is lowering rates and the long end goes up in rates (10 year) it doesn't make sense...unless there's trouble ahead. I would be careful here...great buying opportunity in first Q after 5-10% retrace. Very Humble opinion, thank you again Mathew!

[@DarrinCollier-sn4hh]

Doji candle wicks or evening stars only work at new highs or lows, dont even pay attention to them along the up or downtrend, 50% of the candlewick high or low is usually retraced before going lower or higher like SPY at 599.50 which split that candle wick near the high, now SPY has a candle wick that a 50% retracement of would be at 584.50.. QQQ doji candle wick on a daily chart could hold for weeks being on a daily chart it is at a lower high off the top, 526.25 today would retrace 50% of yesterdays candle with 518.25 being a gap fill to the downside and the higher low 50% of that candle wick being at 507.75..

552??? Shouldn't cause a panic (though I put a few too many q-marks on there hahahah) but it goes against me playing the larger range and a run up to 600ish... but I've got a tight enough stop on it. ;) I'm looking for the professional gap up and squeeze, but we'll see if the market gods agree. Need to see if we can get some Synchronicity. A connecting principle (linked to the invisible), almost imperceptible (something inexpressible). Thanks for all you do Matt, it's much appreciated!

[@seanreichel-e3q]

Could you use intra-day prices, They do matter. I would suggest remembering that market hours are about to change this year and it has been 40 years since they have changed that, but inflation has been also going down for 40 years and the global growth is slowing. I think this suggests that global trading is slowly liquidating.

[@derekdevin747]

Really incredible analysis. Thank you!

[@retirefire2700]

That SPY 200 (552) SMA break would be a concern

[@jamesc8843]

Hey Matt whenever you do the old risk reward box drawings.. are you talking intraday or swing?

[@TradeBrigade]

Could be either. Generally its just the risk reward positioning you would try to exploit off of each level depending on proximity and higher timeframe trends

Yeah. Unless if there’s a major issue I think we get a slight green year, most likely chop, a 10-15% correction sometime during the year. But ultimately NDX cash will see 25 to 26000. Main issue apple usually corrects significantly after reaching ATH, but nowadays Apple can decline and market can go up as long as the 7 other trillion market market caps companies move up.
