After a (not-so-brief) sabbatical we're back with a new show format to liven things up. We're looking at the markets, whats rocking, and why a lot of people are looking at the current markets wrong.  We've been talking about various scenarios for a while now and they are all coming to pass. But, when you look through this new lens, there are opportunities everywhere when you realize where we REALLY are...  Sean and Phil break it all down and walk through what they are seeing.

In this episode of the Rebel Traders Podcast, we explore the harsh realities of trading that new traders may not fully appreciate. We discuss the importance of understanding that not every trade decision made will result in a profit and how to learn to accept losses as part of the business.

Join us as we help traders of all levels make informed decisions and maximize their potential in the markets.

In this episode of our podcast, we cover the latest news in the world of finance and business. We'll discuss the continuing struggles of Tesla and the resurgence of Chinese stocks after their re-re-reopening. We also touch on the trend of remote work becoming more prevalent and the mixed effects it has on the job market. We'll also delve into the current state of the stock market, which has been experiencing a bear year. We compare this market to those of the past, such as the post-dot-com crash of 2001-2002 and the financial crisis of 2008, and discuss the potential for recovery in the coming years. Despite the bear market, we also highlight the fact that the stock market is not the same as the economy and the slow, orderly nature of the current sell-off. In the final segment, we delve into the idea of the market and economy rebalancing and preparing for growth in the future.

There are the Sith and the Jedi... The Light and The Dark. Hold on, I thought only the Sith deal in absolutes? And what the hell does that have to do with Trading? Well, there can be a balance between the two... The GREY area and that balance can also be brought into your trading too.  In this week's show, we look ahead to the Fed's 2-Day meeting, their expected 0.5% raise in rates, and CPI numbers coming out tomorrow.  More than that, we discuss a barometer for the markets that few people know about and can help you bring balance to your trading and maybe give you a little force sensitivity at the same time. 

Are you a lucky trader or an unlucky trader? Do you approach the markets with clarity or hope and optimism?  In this week's SOLO Podcast, Sean breaks down the "Traders Dissonance" and how developing the right mindset for trading can help create a buffer to the noise and discipline to be a better trader.  Not only that, with China opening up "Again" and some market moves that are teasing bullish territory, it could be an interesting end of year...

With riots sparking in China, the financial media is having a fear-laden field day with the resurgence of covid (that we talked about as a narrative shift months ago) and how that is affecting the markets.  We tackle that and other "Nooze Snooze" topics, as well as a possible false narrative about chip supplies and the semiconductor industry.  Also, we'll tackle how to navigate the markets as a trend trader when there are no trends.  All that and a ton more...

Some things never change, and there are history lessons that can make us infinitely better traders. I am not talking about looking left on the chart (which you SHOULD do!)
