FDIC Upping The Ante...

Feds scrambling to prevent panic ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ They are going double or nothing. According to Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), the FDIC is going to become even more active when it comes to protecting depositors. He said: We’re going to increase that. The $250,000 per depositor now, I remember when it was only $50,000 per depositor. And you increased that based upon the times within which we live. Unfortunately, it looks like there may be more need for coverage soon. Credit Suisse, which has had an unbelievably bad year, is the next major financial institution that is staggering. It is being forced to borrow almost $54 billion to cover a liquidity crisis. When even the Swiss banks are struggling, you know there's an issue. Yet we are facing the same fundamental issue. Just as good unemployment numbers could potentially mean bad news for the stock market, there are plenty of scenarios in which this bad news for the financial sector actually means good news for investors. The pressure is on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to take his foot off the brakes when it comes to economic growth. Namely - stop raising interest rates. If it is purely up to Jerome Powell, I don't think he will be doing that. Yet the Federal Reserve is a political institution, even if they call it private. I'll expect some pressure brought to bear if the financial contagion can't be limited. No financial actor at this scale acts alone... and neither should any investor. Always remember you have a team of experts at your back. Keep Moving, COACH'S CORNER "I’ll be honest with you - today was terrible for me. Or at least it was in the smaller account I use for teaching purposes. Too much chop and no clear direction. I didn’t stick to my rules, and several trades went wrong. Hats off to all the members of the Trade Command community who came out ahead because they were making their own trades." "The losses are just part of trading, and I know I’ll make it back and hit my profit goals by week’s end. Plus, it reminds me of what happens when I don’t follow my own rules. If even one person in the trade room learned that lesson, it was worth losing." "We may be in for some continued chop on SPX this week. Investors are still uncertain about the FOMC meeting, so I assume they’ll play conservatively. Remember this when you trade, and avoid putting on positions that might overlap with next Wednesday’s rate hike decision." "Remember, trade the charts, not your opinion." "Despite the gap down in SPX, the NASDAQ (QQQ) showed some real strength and may provide an opportunity to go long." "Take a look at the daily chart of AMD above:" "With a bullish close and upward momentum, we could see a potential run up to resistance at $100.00. So make sure to keep this on your watchlist." "Technology stocks could take a massive hit over the next few weeks and months, but you can make some cash on the current rally." "It’s all about timing."
