NDX Closed Higher...SPX, RUT, DJI Closed Lower...Light Volume...VIX Lower...Earnings Season Begins Next Week...


© 2026


SPX -7.77 6,816 traded in a range and closed fractionally lower.  Breadth turned negative as decliners led on both the NYSE and Nasdaq exchanges. Volume was well below average and VIX was lower, so the negative breadth on Friday does not appear to be contextually meaningful.

Earnings season starts next week with EPS from GS, JPM, C, WFC, BLK, JNJ and many others including NFLX.

Our Mentoring trading had its best single day on Wednesday and a great week hitting new net liq highs.  We hope your trading is also prospering!   


Investment observation:
On March 21, economist Paul Krugman, Nobel Laureate, in a podcast interview with Robin Brooks stated: “Interesting world out there. Interesting as in terrifying, including economically.”  I would agree, almost everyday is interesting to me. 

However, investors and traders should never be terrified.  Primarily because investors and traders are risk takers and as risk takers, they should evaluate risk before they make an investment/trade and only take risk they are comfortable in taking.  I continue to teach that each trader should “take full 100%, total responsibility for their trading decisions” and they “fully accept risk, that this trade can be a loser and they only take risk that they can accept.” 

If an investor/trader only takes risk that they are comfortable with both emotionally and financially, they prepared in advance for a potential loss and therefore they should never be terrified.  If you think you might be terrified by a negative outcome, perhaps avoiding that investment/trade and avoid the potential of being terrified would be a better outcome for you.
