What do the numbers 389, 155, and 74 have in common?
They’re all gains Don’s team hit on AMD, TSLA, and IONQ.
How did they do it?

It’s hard to take someone seriously who doesn’t put their own capital on the line.
So, last week, when I said markets were historically bullish in November, I figured it was time to put up or shut up.
And true to form, my position was underwater almost immediately…or at least that’s what it always feels like.
But after years of doing the wrong or stupid thing, I’ve learned a thing or two about risk management.
Take Don and Gianni, for instance.
Two polar opposites: bear and bull. Both fantastic traders in their own right.
Do they get it wrong from time to time? Of course. But they know how to limit losses and maximize gains.
In my younger years, I’d see a historically high win rate on a month like November, and shove all my chips in.
These days, I’m a lot smarter, using vertical spreads to define my risk.
Am I worried that I’ll be wrong? Not at all.
In fact, I expect I’ll be wrong at least one out of five times.
That’s trading.
Take it from me, it’ll cost you a lot less in the long run to learn from the folks at TheoTrade then making the mistakes yourself.

Don Kaufman: Why I Shorted the "Safest" Tech Stock This Morning
My computer literally crashed the moment I started talking sh*t about Apple.
I'm not kidding. Mid-sentence, explaining why AAPL was about to get destroyed, my entire setup went dark. Had to restart everything.
"I was talking crap about Apple. Apple, yeah. By the way, if it happens again, it's like, you know, chicken's done."
Even the machines knew I was onto something.

Gianni Di Poce: Check Out this U.S. Index (Not a Bubble)
Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles. It’s probably the word I’m hearing thrown around the most in trading circles right now. If anything, there’s a bubble in people calling markets a bubble.
Are there areas of the market where bubbles exist? Absolutely. I get the obsession over the indices, AI, and the Mag 7 - this is where many of the returns have been in recent months.
But the truth is, there are plenty of assets and even sectors around the world that are not in a bubble, and that includes right here in the United States too.
I want to take some time to share one segment of the market that is absolutely not in a bubble, and it is shaping up to be home to one of the biggest opportunities in 2026.

Jeff Bierman: Do You Want to Get Punched in the Face?
I take my daughter to the dojo three nights a week.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday. Karate lessons. She's twelve now and getting serious about it.
The sensei is a stud. Six foot four. Second degree black belt. Great guy. Really knows his stuff.
Every month they give the kids a word to learn. A principle to carry through their training. Something bigger than just kicks and punches.
November's word is respect.
I drove home thinking about that word after Wednesday's class. Respect. Then I walked into Thursday's trading session and watched the market completely ignore every warning signal flashing red.
No respect for technical systems. No respect for valuation limits. No respect for what happens when the people propping this thing up finally step away.
That's when it clicked.
Trading is exactly like martial arts. You can ignore the principles. You can fight the system. You can pretend the rules don't apply to you.
Until you get punched in the face.

Blake Young: Friend or Foe?
The world is full of "us versus them."
For some people, an enemy, or at least someone to blame, is their fuel.
This concept has occupied my mind a lot over the past couple of weeks, especially in the geopolitical sense.
Honestly, I could easily dissect this concept endlessly. And I may explore other branches at a later date.
But for this week, let’s set aside the political and human nature aspects and talk about water…
…as in H2O.
Is it your friend or your foe?

Tony Rago: When the Tape Tells You No
Three trades. Three minus three losses. Three consecutive paper cuts that added up to one clear message.
"This tape just doesn't want me in it. It does not want me in it at all."
Monday morning felt wrong from the start. The market wasn't moving with conviction. Price action looked choppy. The levels I normally trade around were getting tested but not holding the way they should.
I took a trade at the 26 level. Minus three. Tried again at the 36. Another minus three. One more attempt. Same result.
That's when I stopped.
Not because I was afraid. Not because I hit some arbitrary loss limit. I stopped because the market was giving me information I needed to respect.
Sometimes the best decision you can make is recognizing when conditions aren't right for your methodology.
