Is It Time To Get Into Value Investing Again?
Mega-cap tech stocks continue to dominate the market, but beneath their success lies a growing unease among investors about the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policies. While these tech giants boast substantial cash reserves and can withstand a “higher for longer” strategy, the average S&P 500 stock is more vulnerable than ever to rising yields. Although the S&P 500 is up for the year, not all companies are sharing in the glory.
We Stayed in May and Earned $929 in Cash
Options Income Weekly members earned twice as much cash in May as they did in April, as the broader market rebounded. However, one of those winning trades was on an underperforming tech stock, illustrating the ability of option sellers to take advantage of post-earnings overreactions.

Is It Time To Sell In May and Go Away?
It’s the end of a wild month. We saw Nvidia blow out earnings once again, treasury yields spiked, putting a damper on the bull rally, and now the market is wondering if a July Fed cut will happen.

Now that the Nvidia earnings frenzy has passed, let’s look at how we capitalized on the volatility surrounding the AI leader’s announcement with a trade that yielded a nearly 11% return.

Is It NVDA or Bust Today?
Today is the day the market has been waiting for. The rally from all-time highs stalled as the market awaits the Nvidia (NVDA) earnings report. The macroeconomic calendar is fairly light this week, so it all comes down to this moment. Will the bears wake from hibernation or will the bulls stomp higher to new ground? How did the market respond the last time Nvidia announced?
Market Soars To New Highs – Now What?
It wasn’t long ago that I wrote an article about how I disagreed with the adage, “Sell in May and Go Away.” The major indices shook off a rocky April and soared to new heights, but the question I get all the time is, “With markets at new highs, when is a good time to enter?” What typically happens when markets make new highs?
