Before we begin, I want to let you know that I’m holding a special open house session of our VIP Trade Room at 11 a.m. ET tomorrow, Feb. 3.

I’ll dive into what earnings are telling us about the quarter, which sectors are gaining in strength, how to position ourselves in the current market, five stocks I would sell, and which stocks I’m targeting right now!

Be sure to check out Friday’s issue for access to our open house session!

Moving on to today’s stock market recap…

The market rose Thursday morning on better-than-expected earnings results from Meta Platforms Inc. (Nasdaq: META).

The social media giant shot 20% higher in premarket trading on news of a fourth-quarter revenue beat, and $40 billion stock buyback.

The news lifted other big-cap tech names as well, sending Alphabet Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOGL) up more than 4% premarket, Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) up 3% and Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) up 1%.

All three of those tech giants report after the bell Thursday.

And following the Federal Reserve’s 0.25% rate hike on Wednesday, investors are now looking to Friday’s jobs report for signs the economy is cooling, which could mean the Fed might take future rate hikes off the table.

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss if the Fed is changing its tune or delaying the inevitable… if Alphabet and Apple earnings will bomb or shoot to the moon… an update on the bond market and what to expect next… which sector is thriving… which sectors are overbought and need to cool off quickly… why I’m getting more bearish on the tech and communication sectors… plus my top ETF and option pick!

P.S. Newly Discovered ‘Pricing Mismatch’ in the Options Market

We’ve just discovered a shocking “pricing mismatch” in the options market…

Thanks to this mismatch, even a tiny 1% move in a stock could lead to gains as high as 31%… 41%… even 46% or more in a matter of days.

Once you learn how to use this pricing mismatch to your advantage, you’ll never look at the markets the same way again.

And I’m going live at 1 p.m. ET today, Feb. 2, to show this “pricing mismatch” in action and how to apply it to options trades…

As always, it doesn’t cost a thing to attend!
