[Image] December 26th, 2021 | Issue 110 Hello Traders, Bullish tailwinds returned this week as Wall Street took a more positive view on the pandemic burning out here, as has been the case in South Africa. There is a nascent but growing sense that this might be the third and final wave of Covid-19. Warmer temperatures across much of the nation are also helping to keep holiday spirits upbeat and hopeful. True to form, the Santa Claus rally was on full display this week.  The constant narrative is where is money to go if not in stocks? Cash has a negative return when factoring in inflation. Fundstradt’s Tom Lee has coined an anacronym that is catching on – T.I.N.A – There Is No Alternative. And my all accords, short of another black swan event, he’s right. Central banks continue to pump tens of billions of QE into the global money supply even as the Fed and Bank of England wind down their programs. But until then, the liquidity spigot is still wide open.  It will be very interesting to see if inflation for December remains as elevated as in November. Bidding wars for homes and skilled workers has been a big part of the inflation equation, along with food and energy. Still, without more easy money from the Fed and the prospect of higher short-term rates in the offing, it stands to reason some of the fire under the CPI and PPI data might not burn so hot going forward..  [Image]   To great returns, [Image] Vlad Karpel YellowTunnel and Tradespoon Founder P.S.

[Click Here.]( TRADE IDEA OF THE WEEK Of all the top ten holdings within Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLF) that make the grade, the most compelling stock I find to be the most opportunistic for upside profits is Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS).As the most prolific investment banking firm on Wall Street, Goldman is easily the best-positioned megabank, asset manager and deal maker to capture and profit from the hugely opportunistic business conditions that lay forward for 2022.  Investment banking and proprietary trading lead all profit centers for Goldman and yet they are the bank of choice to the uber-wealthy U.S. and international clientele that demand 24/7 pinstripe service to oversee their assets. Earnings for 2021 are forecast to vault to $59.75 from $24.74 per share in 2020. (source: [www.yahoofinance.com]( on a 31.5% increase in revenues to $58.6 billion.  Similar to the XLF chart, shares of Goldman have been consolidating since June, having tried to push higher before Omicron set in and crushed the early fall attempt to break out. Now, the situation looks much more compelling. If Omicron is the final phase of the chokehold on rising economic activity and higher rates to compensate for that prosperity, then shares of GS are set to trade higher...

[Click Here To Save and Trade]( CURRENT TRADING LANDSCAPE  [Alternate text](  As much as it would be so easy to state the market is going to trade up, a good deal of the price action leading up to this week’s light volume rally was geared toward large rotation into more defensive sectors. Before this week, there were strong capital flows into consumer staples, REITs, healthcare, and utilities – a very counterintuitive trade considering all the inflation narrative.  Big money, at least a portion of it, is convinced the Fed will overreact, pulling the punch bowl too rapidly and raising rates when in fact, the economy could start to cool heading into the summer months. It’s just too early to tell, but this was one notable reaction leading into this week’s considerably more positive tone and was supported by high volume. This all has to play out in the weeks ahead but is totally noteworthy.  The $SPY continued to trade higher and closed up 1.0% at $470, within 1% of the all-time high. The value/reflationary stocks traded higher and closed up 0.6% within 1% of the all-time high—the technology-led rally, up 1.2% and right above the 5- day moving average...

Assuming this is an accurate trend, it bodes well for megabanks, regional banks, insurance companies and brokerage firms – basically any business in the lending business of borrowing short and lending long. To the point, shares of the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLF) are the go-to sector trading vehicle for professional money that doesn’t want a single stock risk. XLF represents a basket of the best-of-breed financial companies from fundamental and technical aspects...

TRADING CONCEPTS How to Set Trading Goals Trading goals are important for trading in the stock market. What do trading goals do? They help traders stay motivated, keep them on track with their trading plan and achieve the success all traders look for. One established trading goal is a trading plan for the future. When trading goals are set, traders know what to focus on and how they will measure their success or failure.  A trading goal may be as simple as making a certain amount of money (also known as your profit and loss) from trading in one year's time, or it could mean meeting specific metrics by which you measure your daily profit and loss...
