[Image] January 16th, 2023 | Issue 165   Hello Traders, Q4 Earnings season has officially kicked off, with major banks reporting their results Friday. This comes on the heels of a relatively positive week, in which major U.S. indices climbed higher off the hope and eventual results of the latest inflation data. With now six straight months of cooling inflation, a Fed that has signaled its intention to curb hikes when appropriate, and the latest earnings season upon us, it appears the bear market narrative has temporarily shifted. Still, as outlined last week, I believe 2023 will predominantly be a bear market and one in which active short-term investing succeeds far better than passive.  With that in mind, I'd like to review and highlight one of my favorite services to use during times like these: Earnings Power Trader.  YellowTunnel Trading Tool Evaluation  At YellowTunnel, our software-based trading tools allow users to research their own trades as well as review our latest recommendations. With Earnings Power Trader, my intent was to create a system that would utilize and analyze earnings trends leading up to, through, and after earnings season in order to book gains that are time-specific. And that is exactly what I did. My A.I. model compiles up to 10 best trades, which are then sorted into selective time frames and referenced with a list of companies set to release earnings soon before being scanned for the best opportunities. I help sort the data and initiate buy alerts when appropriate.  The primary objective of Earnings Power Trader, my earnings-based online trading tool, is to take advantage of elevated and implied volatility during earnings season. This brings its fair share of market shake-ups, as companies are evaluated while the market is analyzed through that lens. With an uptick in volatility traditionally found around changing times, as well as the current recession-focused and inflation-watching state of the market, Earnings Power Trader provides a leg up for most retail investors. We aim to help all levels of traders, and this system does just that.  One key attribute of EPT I would like to discuss is its ability to hedge stock and use an iron condor. During my weekly webinars, I discuss various hedging strategies as appropriate. Letting you directly into my trading portfolio, I share with full transparency exactly how I approach the market.  This strategy is of additional benefit during earnings season as we could use the implied volatility to our advantage. An iron condor is an investment strategy that groups puts (long and short) with calls (also long and short), all having the same expiration date. This tactic provides maximum return when the underlying asset falls in between its middle strike prices at expiration - aiming to exploit a symbol's volatility.  The iron condor strategy yields exceptional returns when the underlying asset remains stagnant; however, it can be customized with either a bullish or bearish outlook.  Overall, the introduction to iron condor trades makes it appear that this type of strategy is the only one used in EPT. Need to describe some of the other trades and the % of an iron condor. In addition, if they don’t feel comfortable with iron condors, they can still benefit.  Likewise, an additional benefit of iron condors lies in its safety; profits from this trade are limited to the premium received, while losses are capped as the difference between the call and put strikes minus the net premiums.  Using this strategy falls in line with the YellowTunnel service mantra of applying both fundamental trading strategy and guidance along with a psych angle. Knowing earnings will yield volatility but perhaps not as prognosticate offers us the opportunity to move in on spots we believe we have an edge on. And EPT does just that by highlighting these companies!  The three key attributes Earnings Power Trader provides to the everyday trader include:  - Weekly participation in my Strategy Round Table, where you will get live stock and option picks that you can profit from right away. - Roughly 10 trade recommendations per day - using the same algorithms and my research, delivering an average % per trade! - Weekly Market Plan videos to keep you on top of the latest news and developments. To get a good look into all the happenings at YellowTunnel, and the strategies we are currently implying, I recommend joining us for our upcoming webinar this week, Thursday, January 19th, at 1 PM ET:  [Best 2023 Inflation/Recession Resistant Earnings Season Trades](  That is precisely why I recommend being part of our YellowTunnel trading community, where you can discuss and dissect multiple trading strategies with others.

BABA is the undisputed leader in providing internet retail services in China and has a substantial business-to-business presence.

Major U.S. indices edged higher by week's end with the latest CPI data providing support. The volatility index steadily declined throughout the week, trading near $18 level on Friday. Source: Barchart.com This week's most influential market mover was the CPI data release - as well as the beginning of the latest earnings season with $JPM, $TSM, and $DAL data. Currently, the SPY is encountering its overhead resistance levels of $395 and then $402. Its support sits below $385 and then a further level down to $375. In the coming weeks, I anticipate that the market will continue to hit new lows. I would be BEARISH ON THE MARKET at this time and encourage readers to hedge their positions. See $SPY Seasonal Chart: To open the week, stocks surged on Monday in anticipation of this week's inflation statistics and corporate earnings reports. This did not last long, however, as by day's end, stocks saw a bit of a pullback, reducing their prior rally from Friday. Additionally, Treasury bonds are high and yields have decreased, not to mention rising oil prices due to China's relaxing of border control restrictions amidst the Coronavirus pandemic.  All eyes this week were on U.S. inflation data and fourth-quarter earnings season, officially kicking off with major banks releasing their reports on Friday.  Although some Federal officials have expressed worries that the economy could suffer further harm, these fears were somewhat alleviated on Tuesday when the Central Bank Chairman's speech provided few specifics and left stockholders hoping for a brighter future before Thursday's Consumer Price Index report.  When CPI data was released on Thursday, markets received a welcome line of support.  All three major U.S. indices rose following the release of the latest Consumer Price Index report, which showed signs of slowing inflation and raised expectations for a change in course from the Federal Reserve. Sentiment improved as investors began envisioning a Fed that would cease rate hikes for the time being.  According to the consumer-price index, prices in December came in at 6.5% more than a year ago—with core CPI (excluding food and energy costs) at 5.7%. This is in line with forecasts that inflation should be moderating and lower than the November reading of 7.1%. For six consecutive months, we have observed a decline in inflation, which supports and aligns with the Fed's goal to reach 2% target inflation.  Moreover, the bond market is suggesting that the Federal Reserve's rate-raising trend may be coming to a close. The two-year Treasury yield had reached 4.2%, but when the results were reported it quickly plummeted to 4.120%. Similarly, 10-year yields dropped from 3.55% down to a mere 3.425%. These figures are an indication of market expectations about future federal funds rates and demonstrate how drastically investors reacted when faced with new economic information.  This brings us to Friday the 13th. Five major financial institutions—JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC), and BlackRock (BLK)—released their Q4 earnings, essentially marking the start of the earnings season. As major banks traditionally kick off earnings season, they provide insight into where the market is heading and how other earnings results could potentially turn out. JPMorgan Chase and Bank America lead the way, with both earnings topping estimates and shares soaring. Along with quantitative results, investors looked to additional qualitative clues as to how companies and the economy were doing. With some contrasting views, it appears an upbeat view is present, albeit with some hesitation regarding geopolitical factors and further examination of Fed action and inflation levels.  Monday will see markets closed in observance of MLK Day while Q4 earnings season officially will be in full swing with hundreds of reports due as well as several major names. Marquee reports next week include Goldman Sachs, United Airlines, Charles Schwab, Netflix, American Airlines, and Procter & Gamble. Additionally, look out for the latest Beige Book during the shortened trade week...

Trading near the middle of its 52-week range of $20-$39, the symbol had slightly sold off Thursday after moving higher throughout the week, before recapturing gains on Friday. Despite the potential of a bear market this year, there are still chances to take advantage of and book profits. I'm looking closely at this symbol with anticipation for possible rallies in the near future. Because China recently altered their COVID policy by opening its borders again, Chinese-based businesses may exceed all expectations and grow throughout 2023!
