Hello TheoTrader,
It's been a pivotal week for stocks.
Despite the government shutdown and inflation worries, markets continued to grind higher.
Let's just say, it was a VERY active week.
But for now, let's take a moment to breathe and catch up on some weekend editorial pieces from our traders.
Don Kaufman: My 13-year-old is my secret weapon for testing trading monitors
I literally bought four different monitors on Amazon. Just one of each. Opened them up in my Arizona mountain house and let my kid loose on them.
"This KTC thing absolutely smokes your old monitor, Dad."
When a 13-year-old who plays Fortnite on a multi-monitor setup tells you a $97 monitor destroys your expensive Dell, you listen.
Here's what I've learned building three trading setups over the years: The most expensive components aren't always the best ones.
And sometimes your best tech advisor is the person who stares at screens longer than you do.

Gianni Di Poce: Healthcare Gets Resuscitated, but This Matters More…
I just locked in 104% on QBTS in three weeks in my Trinity Trades portfolio.
That's what happens when you spot a breakout before the crowd catches on.
Now I'm seeing the exact same setup pattern in a sector everyone's forgotten - Healthcare.
The second-largest sector of the S&P 500 came back to life last week.
It finally broke a six-month losing streak after enduring brutal headlines about drug pricing, regulatory scrutiny, and industry consolidation.
Is this a classic contrarian signal? Maybe.
A healthcare rally would help technology lead this market higher.
Now, there is one pocket within healthcare that has my full attention.
And the setup looks identical to one of the greatest sector runs in market history…

Jeff Bierman: Why 50 College Kids Expose Your Trading Problem
I'm staring at 50 undergraduates this semester at Loyola.
Teaching Corporate Finance Essentials.
The academics? That's the easy part.
The real challenge hits me every class: these kids are conditioned for failure. Entitled mindset. Immature responses. Deer in the headlights when real work shows up. They've spent 18 years building habits that will destroy their careers before they start.
My job isn't just teaching finance formulas.
It's reprogramming their entire operating system.
Sound familiar?
Because the same psychological patterns that keep college students stuck are bleeding your trading account dry.
And the solution for both problems follows an identical four-step process that most people never complete.
Here's what I'm learning in the classroom that applies directly to your Genesis Cog discipline.

Tony Rago: What Free-Falling at 120 MPH Taught Me About Markets
6,300 jumps.
That's how many times I threw myself out of an airplane with a camera strapped to my head, free-falling at 120 miles per hour to capture someone else's once-in-a-lifetime moment.
Some people heard that number and thought I was crazy. But here's what they didn't understand: by jump 6,000, it wasn't about the adrenaline anymore.
It was about the process.

Brandon Chapman: The Hidden Force Behind Stock Explosions
Rigetti Computing tripled in weeks.
D-Wave Quantum shot up triple digits.
American Eagle Outfitters exploded higher on a jeans ad.
Kohl's suddenly became interesting again.
What do quantum computing companies have in common with retail apparel stocks?
Nothing…Except the one thing that actually matters.

Blake Young: Giving a Hoot About Your Problems
I love nature. I love making analogies about nature.
Our neighbor had a small bird problem—and by "small bird problem," I mean both that the problem was small and the birds themselves were small. Hundreds upon hundreds of birds had taken up residence in the trees lining the sidewalk in front of their house.
We don't know why they chose these particular trees over similar—even identical—trees along the road, but they did.
