# Don’t Trade Without This

Hey friend,

The Fed announces its interest-rate decision in two hours, at 2 p.m. ET.

Chair Kevin Warsh’s press conference follows 30 minutes later, at 2:30 p.m. ET. Those remarks often move markets as traders listen for clues about where rates go next.

So the market’s first reaction to the decision may not be its last.

Warsh’s answers could send stocks in a different direction.

Let’s see how the markets have been moving.

**Note:** Stocks closed higher yesterday and opened higher this morning as well. However, no change in any index directions.

**The Daily Nugget**

_**Don’t trade where you have no edge**_

A stock starts climbing. Other traders are making money. You feel like you should be in it too.

But a chance to make money isn’t the same as a good reason to trade.

You need an edge – a reason the odds favor you.

Maybe you’ve studied a setup, tracked its results, and know the conditions where it tends to work.

That gives you a reason to act.

A hot tip or fear of missing out doesn’t.

And having an edge in one type of trade doesn’t mean you have it in every trade.

You might know how to trade a breakout but have no reliable way to spot a bottom.

Stick to what you understand until you’ve done the work to learn something else.

Even a good edge will produce losses.

The goal is to have an approach that can pay off over many trades.

You don’t get paid for taking part in every move.

Keep your money for the trades where you have a reason to expect better odds.

**P.S.** That’s why most traders shouldn’t bet on earnings announcements.

They’re guessing both what a company will report and how its stock will react.

This earnings season, even companies that beat profit forecasts, beat sales forecasts, and raised their outlook have seen their stocks fall.

A good guess isn’t enough. We want an edge.

Corporate insiders see the business up close.

When they put substantial personal money into its shares, their buying can help us find a company the market has misjudged.

It’s helped them identify stock moves of **287%, 527%**, and even **1,091%.**

He’ll explain how it works and reveal the top opportunities his team is watching now.

This is the last earnings season of 2026. The next one won’t arrive until next year.
