We only have a few weeks left in 2024. And man, it has been a banner year for the U.S. stock market. The S&P 500 is on track to log one of its best years in the last couple decades. So now the big question is, what’s next? Well, there’s always a bull market out there somewhere. On today’s new SteadyTrade Podcast, we're looking ahead to find that bull market. And we're unveiling our f...

We heard you... We received some positive feedback from you, our listeners. So we’ve decided to do another “five-on-five” podcast as requested. You know the drill. On today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall discuss five hot topics for five minutes each. The last month of the year is typically strong for stocks – especially so during an election year and one in whi...

It’s the day before Thanksgiving – so we wanted to take some time to talk about the things we're grateful for on this new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast. Of course, we're thankful for our health, happiness, and families. But we’re also thankful for what’s ahead – specifically the opportunities available to use as we head into 2025. So in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we each made a lis...

It has been a wild couple weeks for investors and the market alike.  Because of that, sometimes it’s a smart idea to just take a step back... reflect on what has happened... and then plan for the future. So on this week’s SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall do just that. They dive into five important topics that we believe could shape the market well into 2025. They’ll tackle a topic th...

The New York Stock Exchange’s (NYSE) newly proposed hours. The exchange currently offers trading from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time from Monday through Friday. But the NYSE just proposed to extend trading hours from 1:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Eastern time. That means the stock exchange would only be closed two hours per weekday. This could have major implications for traders. More trading hours in th...

Recent action in the world’s largest cryptocurrency – bitcoin (BTC-USD) – has captured the attention of both big institutions and the average investor. On today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall discuss the latest bitcoin action and what it means for the entire crypto market heading into both the election and 2025. But bitcoin isn’t the only crypto worth watching...

We’re less than three weeks away from finding out who will become the next president of the United States in one of the tightest races in history. That fact that we don’t have a good sense of who will win just 20 days out from Election Day should have investors on edge. But considering the S&P 500 is trading near all-time highs, that doesn’t appear to be the case. We hope you’re still preparin...

The term “10-baggers” is thrown around often in the financial industry.  It’s not commonplace to be able to identify a stock that will eventually go up 10X in value. But it is achievable.  In the investment world, snagging a 10-bagger is equivalent to receiving a massive trophy you can put on your mantel.  One of the most recent and notable 10-baggers in the market is chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) . The...

The third quarter is officially in the books, and the best-performing sector of the year so far has been utility stocks.  This often considered “boring” sector is up 30% year to date and trading near all-time highs. It just logged its best quarter since 2003. And it’s currently on pace to have its best year since 2000.  So on today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast , Tim Bohen and Matt McCa...

We're willing to bet most folks don’t think too much about energy drinks as an investment idea. But what if we told you one energy-drink maker was one of the best-performing stocks over the last 30 years? Monster Beverage (MNST) makes the sugary-caffeinated drinks that many people have come to love. It went public in August 1995, and since then has been the third-best performer in the S&P...

Many investors would argue that we’re in the midst of a sizable market pullback. In reality, the S&P 500 is trading just 3% below its all-time high.  Clearly, it’s not as bad as most folks think. On today’s episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall discuss what’s going on in the market and detail how to take advantage of it from both a long-term perspective as well as a day...

 Water – or “blue gold,” as it’s often called – is a difficult topic to get investors excited about because it’s all around us and part of our daily life. But even though water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface, only about 0.5% of it is available fresh water. We understand that there’s hesitancy in believing that water is an investable commodity – especially when you pay $7 per bottle at airports...

It has been a few days since President Joe Biden’s announcement that he’s dropping out of the 2024 presidential election rocked the world. That has given us some time to think about the implications for the election, the stock market, and the future of our country. On today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt share their views of the historic decision. And more importantly...

At the start of every year, analysts and talking heads put out their predictions for the year ahead. But over the years, most prognosticators are pretty bad at predicting what things will look like just 12 months in the future. For example, six months ago nearly everyone was calling for several interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Yet here we are in July and the central bank has yet to begin...

A new king of the stock market has been crowned. Last week, Nvidia (NVDA) briefly passed up Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL) to become the largest publicly traded company in the world. Microsoft is back in the lead as I write this, but it remains a tight race. All three firms are currently valued at more than $3 trillion. In total, seven U.S. companies are worth at least $1 trillion. These mega-c...

Last week something happened that has only occurred 13 times in the past 20 years. And the results were in-line with what history told us was going to happen. On June 12, the Federal Reserve held a meeting and made an announcement on interest rates on the same day that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) – inflation reading – was released. Considering the CPI is arguably the most important number in re...

Americans spend 216 hours a year commuting—27 workdays! Self-driving cars could soon free up that time. In today's SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim and Matt discuss the rise of autonomous vehicles (AVs), driven by AI. Only 37% of Americans are ready for AVs, but futurist thinking is key for investing. The big opportunity? Robotaxis. These self-driving taxis could generate $28 trillion in value over t...
