Pre Market JAN 20, 2026

Good morning traders, how are you today?
If your new here welcome
The markets are red this morning, really red
$DJI ( ▲ 0.64% )  
$SPY ( ▲ 0.51% )  
$QQQ ( ▲ 0.44% )  
$IWM ( ▼ 0.31% )  

This weekend the president announced he wasn’t ruling out military action to take over Greenland. Funny thing about Greenland is it isn’t green, it’s cold and icy there
It was also announced that tariffs are back
Here we go again

I’m watching things this morning, big selloffs, lots of red
The only red I was wanting to see is when I go to donate blood later this morning
I’ve shared before that I donate blood once every 8 weeks, have for about 10 years now
By doing so there’s a whole myriad of health benefits that come from it, not to mention saving lives
I have a good buddy of mine, long time buddy, few years older than me, he’s addicted to doctors. Can’t stay out of a doctors office for a week. NO joke, I mean it, goes 3-5 times a month to see different doctors. Sometimes more. I’ve maybe been to the doctor 5 times the past 3 years

Donating blood regularly is one of the things that I do to keep healthy. And you guys know I run 2 different hiking clubs. That’s why I’m always saying get out and walk in nature
If we don’t do the work to stay healthy then we wind up living in waiting rooms, and I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sound like a good plan or fun to me
Our stock portfolios are no different. we have to manage them, take care of them
We don’t allow trades to become investments

Selloffs / pullbacks are normal, they’re healthy even, they bring balance to the market
And they also allow us to identify who the true leaders are after the dust settles

Some names are up off the lows this morning and trying to get some strength there
$GOOG ( ▲ 1.57% )  
$NVDA ( ▼ 0.64% ) don’t be surprised if we get a entry on it soon
$AMZN ( ▼ 0.31% )  
$JPM ( ▲ 1.12% ) not bouncing yet, still at the lows here
$WMT ( ▼ 0.08% ) slight pullback, not much at all, could be one to watch today
If you have an existing position on WMT this might be a a good area to add providing it meets our rules , remember we don’t go long if a stock is red

Today we’re going to let stocks get healthy again
This is a news related event, the shelf life of those is 72 hours on average
Some fresh entries could be coming our way

Its time to grind
