Pre Market APR 10, 2026

In partnership with

Good morning traders, bet you didn’t expect to see a “Pre Market” report today 🙂 
If you’re new here welcome
The markets are flatt’sh but stable here in the Pre

Do you know anyone that when you ask them “Hey how’s it going” They answer with “Great.. Perfect, everything is perfect” But when you run into their spouse they tell you how the roof is falling in?
I have a good buddy that does that, his story and hers never match up
It’s the one that says the roof is falling in that I’ll end up believing, they have no motive to dilute the truth. I bet you feel the same

As a writer ( this is going to be about you the reader, not me ) I have learned many things over the years. I write for my church, have written for church outlets, and my style is mine
I write like I’m in a conversation with friends
Though my style is mine I’m not alone in what I want to share
Traders that write newsletters like this ( as in manyyyyyyy ) have all said ~ the ~ exact ~same ~ thing….. If it’s not what they want to hear, as in “It’s easy / Anyone can do it / No way you can lose / There’s tons of money to be made / If they don’t hear that some people will leave. Obviously not any of you, you’re reading this

So any time that I share to “beware” I know that there will be readers to leave
That doesn’t affect me, not in any way. It reminds me that the investing greats like Livermore . Darvas, Wyckoff were right, human nature doesn’t change
We all know that saying “If it was easy it wouldn’t be good, and if it was good it wouldn’t be easy”

This geopolitical environment we’re in right now isn’t stable
There are so many factors affecting this market that we can’t foresee
What we can do is limit our potential losses with our strategies
