Hey friend,
There are real signs the government shutdown may end very soon.
If that happens, expect a deluge of previously-delayed economic data shortly after – data that could move markets.

Note: Indexes rebounded yesterday, sending most directions back into the green.
The Daily Nugget
Don’t confuse predictions for strategy.
So many traders – especially those just getting into the game – make this mistake.
They think an expert trader buying a stock is the trader predicting the stock will go up.
There’s a subtle – yet important – difference here.
Expert traders follow strategy…
And strategy is a process – not a prediction.
Buying a stock according to a proven strategy is an intelligent probabilistic bet. It’s a decision made according to a predetermined process.
Predicting a stock will go up – and then buying it – is more often than not just wishful thinking.
From the outside, both can appear the same.
But if you want to truly advance as a trader, you need to understand this subtle difference
If you don’t truly grasp this difference yet – that’s perfectly fine.
We all have to start somewhere.
But keep following people like Head Trader Ross Givens…
And sooner than you think, you’ll understand the difference between strategy and predictions.
