One of the first things you’ll notice about my process is how much emphasis I put on multiple timeframes. I’m not a long-only investor who just stares at 20-year charts. Most of what we do here at TrendLabs is designed…
Not too long ago, the consensus was clear: Global markets were doomed. Tariffs were supposed to crush equities everywhere. Recession was “right around the corner.” The narrative this spring was nothing short of apocalyptic. And yet… the market did what…
It felt good to be back on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange this week. The building had a calmness to it — not surprising, since this was the final stretch of summer. Sure, the calendar says summer…
