[Image] February 20th, 2022 | Issue 118 Hello Traders, Friday’s news release that the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will have talks next week provided a minor respite from the extreme volatility of the past week. As a former citizen of the Ukraine province before its independence in 1991, and seeing how this heightened state of alert is gripping my former homeland, it breaks my heart.  Coming to the U.S., getting educated and working tireless hours, I was able to fulfill the American dream of building a strong nuclear family and growing a business with an amazing group of team members, Options Express, that was sold for over $1 billion to Charles Schwab back in 2011. I love America and the incredible opportunities it affords people like me, inspired to create, take on some risk, not be afraid of burning the midnight oil and learning all along the way how capitalism and democracy flourish.  The work experiences I have from my life in Chicago and seeing a business grow to something fantastic is what I’ve brought to Yellow Tunnel and its trading services that are within its offerings. Like the AI algorithms and coding I’ve created over the past decade, I keep crunching more knowledge every day to make our platforms the most rewarding experience to our loyal members.  And it is with great enthusiasm that I look forward to the next decade to continue this endeavor to enhance the lives and financial well-being of all our subscribers that are on this mutual journey with my team that is like family and me. So, let’s get to the business of analyzing this volatile market to where we can capitalize on all that is taking place.  Lately, inflation, a few high-profile earnings misses, and now the rising concern of a Russian invasion into Ukraine has the major indexes enduring wide price swings. At the same time, roughly 80% of companies in the S&P 500 exceeded fourth-quarter earnings estimates, while the latest data on Covid-19 caseload is downright bullish for the U.S. getting back to normal in the not-too-distant future.  These two developments are big news for a market beset by a hawkish Fed reacting to some hot inflation data and the need for the global supply chains to free up so as to bring prices down.  It's a real tug-of-war between the bulls and the bears, but I’m of the view that sales and earnings matter most to the market. The nervous market as bond yields in check with the 2-year Treasury yield around 1.5% and the 10-year T-Note yield at 1.93%. Crude oil continues to trade above $90/bbl and will likely hold that level given the geo-political risk environment but could spike to $100+/bbl on negative Ukraine headlines.  Have a wonderful week ahead and let’s create some meaningful wealth together in 2022...  [Image]   To great returns, [Image] Vlad Karpel YellowTunnel and Tradespoon Founder P.S.

[Click Here.]( TRADE IDEA OF THE WEEK On the short shortlist of those companies that do occupy the upper echelon of the semiconductor industry, Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM) holds a special place and an enviable one at that if you are their competition. The company is the pioneer and leader of 2G, 3G, 4G and now 5G wireless technology that is powering enhanced mobile broadband, delivering high-performance for mission-critical communications and driving the massive migration of the Internet of Things (IoT).  The company is also not waiting on the burgeoning future for self-driving cars either. In October 2021, Qualcomm purchased auto components supplier Veoneer Inc. for $4.5 billion to immerse the company heavily into its next driver of future revenue growth. In technology, a company either leads or tries to follow by simulating or simply gets out of the way, and Qualcomm has been steamrolling its competition for over 20 years.  For the fourth quarter, Qualcomm reported revenue of $10.7 billion and earnings of $3.23 per share, both of which beat consensus analyst forecasts. Shares of QCOM rallied to $190 on the news before spending the past two weeks settling back down to trade just under $165 where my AI tools are getting bullish.

[Click Here To See How It Works]( CURRENT TRADING LANDSCAPE  [Alternate text](  The market is undergoing an extreme test of fundamental and technical integrity; this past week, it needs to pass this test on the strength of robust earnings, guidance, and upbeat economic data. As troubling as the news is from the Ukraine situation, the market has done a good job pricing in some policy actions by the Fed and has demonstrated that it can withstand some commodity inflation.  At the same time, each day brings with it some element of uncertainty that is keeping the market landscape in a nervous state, compelled to swing higher and lower by high-frequency trading firms triggering buy and sell programs that can rattle the nerves of even the most seasoned investors. But if the market is ultimately supported by bullish revenue and earnings fundamentals, then the primary uptrend should remain in place.  The $SPY sold off Thursday hard, closing at $437, close to the most recent lows and is looking to find support. The $SPY was down 2.2% and closed near the bottom of the retracement from 2022 low to high, key long-term support. The value/reflationary ($VTV) closed lower, down 1.3%, at the February low. The technology sector ($QQQ) closed down 3.0%, at $345 near the January low... [Click here to read more…]( SECTOR SPOTLIGHT  [Alternate text](  One of the real luxuries of coming to the other side of earnings season is that traders see which companies really hit it out of the park and which sectors shined most in terms of financial guidance for the current quarter and for the balance of 2022. This is where a good deal of heavy fundamental lifting is done, revealing top and bottom-line performance that provides full transparency of profit margins – which Wall Street analysts care deeply about.  Some have referred to the semiconductor sector as the new-economy industrials, as chips are embedded in just about every line of products made in either the manufacturing process or within the finished products themselves. Between the semiconductor equipment companies and the chipmakers, the number of tradeable stocks that qualify as institutional favorites is not that long of a list.  For traders who prefer to trade the sectors in lieu of single stocks, the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) tends to get the most interest from the trading community and my AI platform. From [www.yahoofinance.com]( the top ten holdings for SMH account for almost 64% of assets with the largest chip foundry, Taiwan Semiconductor Co. Ltd. ADR (TSM), as the #1 holding...
