The Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide ground stop on Friday afternoon after reporting communication problems affecting "multiple" air traffic control centers. “Nationwide ground stops are extremely rare. In January 2023, the FAA halted flights because of issues with a pilot alert system. Before that, traffic was halted nationwide after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.” https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/11/13/faa-ground-stop.html
What’s the most important thing you look for when researching a stock and finding a winner? What are the things that a stock must have in order for you to own it? Let me know below, i’m super curious!
"Buy the dip!" That drum is beat soooo often on social media. Sounds simple enough. The market drops half a percent or even a percent or even more, you buy more, and eventually the market recovers. EASY right? There's one little problem though. You actually have to know WHEN to buy. Look at the chart I'm sharing. The market experiences declines of 1% or more VERY often. These aren't extraordinary events. They're part of normal market behaviour. Yet every time they happen, investors start talking about buying opportunities, waiting for a bigger correction or keeping cash on the sidelines until the market drops further. But is buying the dip actually a better strategy than staying invested? A 2024 study published in the European Financial Management journal by Stefano Bonini and two other academics examined exactly this question. Their research compared holding cash and waiting for market declines against investing in a stock market ETF... so it was pretty relatable for the average DIYer. What did they find??? Buying the dip does NOT necessarily maximize your real ending wealth. The results are HIGHLY SENSITIVE to market conditions when you begin investing. Something else to note, under certain conditions, buying the dip can improve risk adjusted performance compared with passive investing or traditional dollar cost averaging. BUT there's a MASSIVE catch..... the strategy is subject to estimation risk. In other words, you have to make assumptions about when the market offers an attractive buying opportunity and getting those assumptions WRONG can undermine the strategy. This is why I don't actively "buy the dip" or suggest other too. I don't want to sit on cash waiting for a correction that may take months or years to arrive. And I don't want to turn investing into a guessing game where I have to decide whether a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5% decline is enough, whether I should wait for 10% or whether the next 20% drop is just around the corner. My strategy is to stay invested, maintain my asset allocation, and rebalance when necessary. Does that mean you shouldn't invest when the market is down???? Absolutely not!!!! If you have new money to invest, a market decline doesn't need to scare you away. There's a difference between investing consistently when markets are down and holding cash specifically because you're trying to time the next dip. In my October Portfolio update, I share what I did during the tech sell off and what saved my portfolio. If you don't know my investment style, you'll be surprised what did! https://youtu.be/H5JMG8Z_okg What about you? Do you actively buy the dip or do you prefer staying invested and letting the market do its thing? read more

I know you guys appreciate the in-depth research posts more than anything else I write and tonight I have a JUICY 2 post series for you that will blow your socks off. We will be going on a journey of reflection to sniff out how institutional investors have been behaving with their money since Nov. 2nd until today. All jokes, memes, market news & affairs aside... tonight we're back to serious insights about the lovely market. I've tracked every stock in the S&P 500 and split them up by sector to monitor how the money's been flowing for 8 trading days in November so far across every single stock and sector in the S&P. Let's get started by unpacking how net flows moved over the 8 day period and watch how NET money flows went in & out of the S&P 500. Nov. 2nd: -$73B Nov. 3rd: +$6.2B Nov. 4th: +$162B Nov. 5th: -$580B Nov. 6th: -$75B Nov. 9th: +$335B Nov. 10th: +$21B Nov. 11th: +$566B Nov. 12th: ??? (if the pattern continues it will be a Negative flow day) We've been mere puppets this whole month with the wolves taking us on a rollercoaster ride for 8 days of ups & downs... enough swings to make anyone throw up. On the worst day Nov. 5th only 15% of stocks closed positive and on the best day which was Nov. 9th 84% of all S&P stocks closed positive. But, are all sectors reacting the same on the good and bad days? or are there visible rotations? To answer that I will direct you to the first table in the images below. Watch the sectors Money flows. The heavy concentration of money moving out has been directed towards: $XLE Net Flows = -$80B $XLK Net Flows = +$10B (barely made it across in W2) $XLB Net Flows = +$4.2B To show you how rough the Technology sector’s ride was please observe image 2 below showing the cumulative money flow of the period... the sector was left for dead last week and made a COMPLETE recovery to close flat earlier today. That sector had $2.41 Trillion trading across its 76 stocks and netted out +$10B after all that… that’s peak volatility for you, not a smooth sailing anymore for AI. The 3 best performing sectors where money flowed in aggressively: $XLC Net Flows = +$114B $XLY Net Flows = +$76B $XLF Net Flows = +$67.3B All other sectors were mixed performance through the period with $XLV & $XLP showing the most promising trend. Now as you might know Technology as a much higher direct impact on the S&P as it represents almost 40% of the index while Energy with it’s -$80B outflows barely makes a dent as it only represents 3% of the index... Just for perspective. Ok now for the GRAND FINALE... Do you guys want to know the top 20 stocks where money flows ran for the door and top 20 companies that attracted money flows as a safe haven ? Well, I will give you just that and it will be an EPIC list of 40 companies showing you all exactly the winners and losers during the days when the market crashed and when it peaked. But, You’ll have to stay tuned for my next post to see them… I promise you won't wait for too long just have patience for 1 hour and you’ll see the second post…. in the mean time if you enjoyed this work and look forward to the lists show this post some love so more people can see it and benefit. read more
In the first chart, $SPY looks like it has now retested that purple level, formed an M-top at it and become set to fall like it did after testing that level back in early June. (Forsooth, after-hours trading already appears - in the second chart - to be consistent with this!) 😑
FAA has ordered a nationwide ground stop due to "extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety", halting departures across the entire United States. The FAA has not publicly detailed the cause of the emergency action. This is only third shutdown of its kind following 9/11.. what’s going on!? Funny how they announce this a minute after market close.. futures are in the gutter. $QQQ -2% $VIX +7%read more
$NBIS now -50% since the strong trim right at the top. Now it's a 3x right back into the buy zone after some relief yesterdat. If you have a habit of chasing, this tool prevents that 100%. Anyone waiting for a 4x..?
Breaking: the FAA just issued a national security ground stop for ALL flights. Thank goodness I flew home Wednesday and not today. Some of my team members are stuck right now. If this gets worse, it could affect the market. Glad it happened after hours and into the weekend. Hopefully it all gets figured out. Stay safe out there, everyone.

🎤 Had a chance to meet and listen to Dan Ives (one of the most iconic tech analysts on Wall Street) and hear his thoughts on the Nvidia drama, the Anthropic IPO, and where he sees the opportunity in tech!! He called this a “white-knuckle moment” for the tech trade but still thinks we’re in the 1995 internet moment of AI. Here’s my recap 👇 🤖 On Nvidia and Jensen 😬 Called it a “black eye moment” for Jensen and $NVDA. By his read, the market is pricing a 15-20% chance Jensen gets removed as CEO depending on how the congressional scrutiny plays out 📉 If that happens, he thinks the stock drops 25-30%. Jensen is the “central nervous system” of the whole AI ecosystem and Nvidia has no real succession plan ✅ He's still very positive on Nvidia but said the stock is basically trading on one question right now: is Jensen there or not? -- 🚀 Where Dan is bullish ☁️ Hyperscalers: $MSFT , $AMZN and $GOOGL (and even $META) are “more valuable today than they were a week ago”. They already own the compute, so new restrictions on data centers give them more leverage and let them narrow the gap vs Anthropic and OpenAI 💻 Software over semis: thinks we’re entering the “use case phase” where AI finally gets monetized and called out $PLTR , $SNOW , $CRM and $NOW 🛡️ Cybersecurity: $CRWD , $PANW and $ZS ⚡ Energy: “AI doesn’t happen without energy.” We need 4-5x more power than we have today and he thinks nuclear has to be the answer (China has built 23 nuclear facilities in the last few years while a lot of US data centers are stuck waiting for power) -- 😰 Where Dan is bearish ☁️ Neoclouds: “a game of musical chairs, some left without a chair.” With rates and credit spreads where they are it’s hard for $CRWV to raise capital. He sees $NBIS as the best positioned, but called the group a headwind, not a buying opportunity 💸 Debt-heavy AI plays: used $ORCL as the “poster child”... take on that much debt and it’s hard for the stock to work 🏛️ Politics: his #1 worry for tech isn’t valuations, it’s the political environment and the anti-data-center push since the election. “Every data center that gets voted down, China ultimately wins” -- 🧠 On the Anthropic IPO 💰 Thinks ~$1T is the right valuation to go out at (more “digestible” than $1.4-1.5T) and that a successful IPO matters more than stretching it 🔮 Long term he thinks they can get to $500-700B in annual revenue, but warned newly public companies take years to build out and any speed bump gets punished... pointed at $SPCX as the example 👀 Curious what you guys think!! P.S. shout our Direxion ETFs for inviting me to this event! Tagging a few of their ETFs as a thank you - feel free to check them out 😎 read more

$NVDA CFO Colette Kress emerges as a potential interim CEO candidate if Jensen Huang is removed, per Reuters. She has served as Nvidia's CFO since 2013 and played a key role in the company's growth. Let's see what happens tomorrow. I'm waiting for more pullback before buying again. Generational wealth I tell ya! 😁
Hey everyone! I’m new to the community and currently focused on building my portfolio, investing consistently, and learning more about investing, ETFs, retirement strategies, and wealth building.
What if, Elon Musk recruited Jensen Huang and made him CTO (Chief Technology Officer) at $SPCX? Let Jensen be in charge of Elon's chip factory, Terafab. Musk wants it to be the largest ever built, one terawatt of compute per year, from design to packaging under one roof. Terafab's challenge is to do in a few years what the industry took decades to build. There's only one man on Earth who knows every layer of that stack. Does it sound too far-fetched?
Simple Peter Lynch takeaway: Don’t skip a stock just because its price has already gone up a lot - what matters is whether it’s a good deal TODAY based on what the company can earn in the future, not what happened in the past. How to apply it: When evaluating any stock, ignore its price history and ask yourself: “Is this stock cheap or expensive right now compared to the company’s earnings potential?” Judge each investment on its current value, not on whether you “missed” earlier gains.
I feel like if you haven’t invested in AI the time is now. You will most certainly see a return in your future. If you’ve ever been curious about investing in AI but didn’t know when the right time was, I think now maybe the time. I’m team full recovery. ❤️🩹🩺
BMNR started the week trading at $18.82, approximately a 15% discount to mNAV, with Ethereum trading at $2,126.00 By Friday, BMNR had fallen 7.65% to $17.38, and Ethereum dropped about 9.36% to $1,923.00 What caused the selloff? Could be a number of things, but there are concerns over inflation and higher U.S. interest rates. There were also significant forced liquidations across the cryptocurrency market as prices declined. CoinGlass was showing Ethereum liquidations at approximately 71% of their highest level over the previous 30 days, which it classified as "Near Extreme." Most of these liquidations involved leveraged long positions, creating additional selling pressure and potentially accelerating Ethereum's decline. Despite the drop, BMNR's discount to mNAV actually narrowed slightly to approximately 13.9%, suggesting the share price largely followed the decline in Ethereum. BMNR also filed its annual 10-K this past week, and there were mixed results. The company reported a $6.31 billion net loss for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2026. Approximately $6.23 billion was attributed to unrealized declines in its cryptocurrency holdings rather than realized losses. They also mentioned that the company's accounting procedures and corporate governance continued to have material weaknesses in internal financial reporting controls. Management has taken corrective actions, including hiring additional accounting and compliance personnel, bringing in external specialists, implementing a new accounting system and introducing formal control procedures. However, some controls remain incomplete or haven't been operating long enough to demonstrate effectiveness. KPMG issued an unqualified audit opinion on BMNR's financial statements, meaning they were fairly presented in all material respects under U.S. accounting standards. That is reassuring, although KPMG did not audit the effectiveness of the company's internal financial reporting controls, and those weaknesses haven't been resolved. This is something worth monitoring considering BMNR went from a relatively small Bitcoin mining operation to the world's largest Ethereum treasury in a very short period. The other concern was the $376.9 million in general and administrative expenses reported for the fiscal year. That's a substantial amount, and while it did included $200 million in expenses management classified as one-time capital-raising, advisory, legal and consulting fees, along with approximately $59 million in non-cash stock-based compensation. It is still a significant amount spent on administration. The company reported approximately $121.4 million in staking and validation revenue for the year. As its staking operations expand, we should see that revenue increase, but the question is whether it will eventually generate enough to cover ongoing operating expenses and the preferred share dividends. BMNR has approximately $33.25 million in annual preferred dividend obligations from its Series A preferred shares alone. If staking revenue doesn't eventually cover its ongoing expenses and dividend obligations, the company would need to rely on existing reserves, asset sales or additional financing. That could potentially include further shareholder dilution, particularly if it continues issuing common shares to fund operations or expand its Ethereum holdings. Overall, it was another difficult week for BMNR shareholders. read more
@canadiantshirt joins BD & Shay to break down the alleged Chinese honeypot, Nvidia's chip deals with China, the midterm "blue tsunami," and what the Strait of Hormuz crisis means for your portfolio. Adrian, a former AI engineer turned finance YouTuber, goes off-script like never before: whether Nvidia can survive without Jensen, why AMD ripped while Nvidia fell 10%, whether AI regulation could pop the AI bubble, and why Canadian investors with a home bias are making a big mistake. Plus, a rapid fire round that gets heated. https://youtu.be/onDjB8KQhBo?si=QIx8-GD-mBv_Bdd_
Today BMO launched something NEW! The BMO MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ZALL) brings developed and emerging markets together in one simple portfolio, including Canada. So what does that actually mean? Well, now investors can own the world in one global equity ETF. ZALL is the first Canadian-listed ETF designed to track the MSCI ACWI Index, giving investors exposure to Canada alongside developed and emerging markets. Canada currently represents about 3% of the portfolio, with the rest invested across global markets. And because the portfolio reflects each market’s relative size, those weights naturally evolve as global markets change over time. For Canadian investors, that means broad global diversification, without the traditional home-country bias, all in one portfolio. A few quick tidbits: 🔹️47 markets across 23 developed and 24 emerging markets 🔹️Approximately 2,500 large- and mid-cap companies 🔹️Exposure to approximately 85% of the global investable equity opportunity set 🔹️The first Canadian-listed ETF designed to track the MSCI ACWI Index, which includes Canada 🔹️0.18% management fee Will you consider adding ZALL to your portfolio as an alternative to typical all equity ETFs, to avoid home country bias?

In Episode 28 of Financial KarMoe, @karyungtom and I (Moe) a're back answering more questions from our amazing @blossom community! This time, we're talking about some of our biggest investing mistakes, how we plan to manage our children's RESPs, whether we would ever buy the NVIDIA dip, and what it really takes to stay invested when markets aren't cooperating. We kick things off by looking back at some of our more questionable investment decisions, from cannabis stocks and psychedelic ETFs to cryptocurrency and some expensive lessons along the way. We then get into an interesting discussion about our children's financial futures, including how we might approach RESP withdrawals, whether we would gradually move into more conservative investments, and how we hope to teach our kids about saving, investing and financial responsibility. We also revisit the never-ending covered-call ETF question 🤓, discuss how we measure portfolio success, and share our thoughts on buying individual stocks like $NVDA when the market takes a dip. We talk about what makes a reasonable down payment when buying a home, some of our favourite financial resources and books, and who we'd love to sit down with for an hour if we had the chance. One of the more personal parts of this episode is our discussion about how financial goals can change when life throws unexpected challenges your way. I also share how a recent change in our household employment situation has made us rethink some of our short-term financial priorities. Because ultimately, having a financial plan is important, but being able to adapt it when circumstances change is just as important. And of course, we wrap things up by discussing something equally important: tacos! 🌮 😅 As always, a huge thank you to everyone in the Blossom community who submitted questions and continues to support Financial KarMoe. We genuinely enjoy these discussions and appreciate being able to learn alongside you. Now we'd love to hear from you! What's one investment mistake you made early in your investing journey that taught you a valuable lesson? Share it in the comments below. We'd love to hear your stories! Thanks for watching, and we'll see you in the next one! 😉🙏🏻 https://youtu.be/hqJRuUYNp9U?si=5dTL724OKaLroGO9read more
Here are 🚩3 big flags🚩that signal a company might not be a good investment, and I'll walk you through how to check for each one. (Free Stock Checklist at the end) --- 1️⃣ Declining Revenue or Earnings📉 🛑 Why it’s a red flag:A company with falling revenue or earnings may be losing market share, dealing rising costs, or the overall industry is shrinking. ✅ How to Check for This: A) Look at the Income Statement📊 - Find the company’s total revenue and net income in its latest financial report. Top-line & bottom-line, respectively. - Compare revenue and net income across multiple quarters/years. 3 years or 12 quarters is more than enough to indicate a trend - If both are consistently declining, it’s a warning sign. B) Check Earnings Reports🗂️ - Look at the company’s quarterly earnings reports to see if they’ve missed expectations multiple times. C) Compare to Competitors🔍 - Is the entire industry struggling, or just this company? 📚Website for financial reports: https://www.marketwatch.com/ --- 2️⃣ High Debt Levels 🛑 Why it’s a red flag:Companies with a capital structure heavily debt-reliant are more vulnerable in economic downturns and might struggle to repay obligations. ✅ How to Check for This: A) Find the Debt-to-Equity Ratio (D/E)📊 - Go to the company’s Balance Sheetin its latest report. - Find Total Debt and Total Equityand calculate: Debt-to-Equity Ratio = Total Debt ÷ Total Equity** - A D/E ratio above 2.0 (varies by industry) is usually risky. B) Check Interest Coverage Ratio🔍 - Look at the Income Statement for EBIT (Earnings Before Interest & Taxes). - Find Interest Expense and calculate:Interest Coverage Ratio = EBIT ÷ Interest Expense - If this ratio is below 1.5, the company may struggle to pay interest. 📚 Resources: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/debtratio.asp#:~:text=Key%20Takeaways&text=A%20company's%20debt%20ratio%20can,has%20more%20assets%20than%20debt --- 3️⃣ Poor Cash Flow 🛑 Why it’s a red flag:A company can be profitable on paper but still run out of cash to fund operations. ✅ How to Check for This: A) Find the Cash Flow Statement📜 - Look at Operating Cash FlowOCF). - If OCF is negative for multiple quarters, the company may be in trouble. B) Check Free Cash Flow (FCF)💰 - Free Cash Flow = Operating Cash Flow - Capital Expenditures - A company with negative FCF can’t reinvest in growth without taking on debt. 📚 Read more about Cash flow: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/stocks/07/easycashflow.asp ___________________________________________ Thanks for reading, I am open to engage in friendly conversations so I encourage you to leave a comment!💬 Access my free stock checklist at the link below⬇️ https://investingwithcole.gumroad.com/l/stockchecklist read more
📊 The AI trade came back to life. The Nasdaq jumped 1.60% to 25,466.19, the S&P 500 rose 1.31%, the Dow added 0.49% and Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite climbed 0.67%. ☁️ CoreWeave ($CRWV) rocketed 24.71% to $60.77 after beating on third quarter revenue and raising 2026 guidance for both revenue and operating income. CEO Michael Intrator said the company is 10 times oversubscribed on its remaining 2027 capacity. 🤖 Nvidia ($NVDA) climbed 2.9%, clawing back part of a nearly 10% drop to start the week after Jensen Huang confirmed the affair. The rebound helped lift the broader tape. 🍎 Apple ($AAPL) rose 2.04% to $355.63 for its third record close of November. The $5.1 trillion company is up 30.5% this year, nearly triple the S&P 500’s 11.6% gain. 🔌 Celestica ($CLS) led the TSX, jumping 8.38% to $345.43 as tech and energy drove the index higher. Kinaxis ($KXS) added 6.37%, while Lithium Americas was the worst performer at 12.27% lower. 🏛️ Anthropic said in an updated SEC filing that it will offer 825 million shares in an IPO planned for next week, at a valuation of as much as $1.4 trillion. Separately, Goldman now expects a Fed hike in March on top of December, and Chicago Fed’s Austan Goolsbee called the October CPI print borderline disturbing. 👨🏻💻 Researched and written daily by @timeminoread more
Anthropic is going public next week at up to $1.4 trillion. Fair value or too rich?
What do I do when the stock market drops and my TFSA portfolio takes a hit? This is a transparent look at my $322,250 TFSA portfolio after a volatile October, when global markets took a beating and the Nasdaq 100 briefly entered correction territory.... we all know November has continued the trend... For those of you interested in seeing a real life example of what all in one ETF's do during a market pull back, one mcap and one using 4 single factors, see how $XEQT faired compared to $FEQT in the sharp pull back at the end of the month. That trend is continuing into November.... Also, I'm looking for a good emerg market multifactor ETF in Cad.... just to complicate my portfolio a little more 🙃 Let me know what you use please! https://youtu.be/H5JMG8Z_okg
I am currently 47 years old. Unfortunately in that time frame I have lost a lot of family members. Some (most) were accidents, some to age, some to cancer, and one to suicide. That’s 11 deaths total. Only 1 person out of 11 had a will. When you are grieving the last thing you want to do is close an estate up. It’s even harder if nothing has been prepared in advance. After the initial shock of the death settles (the phase where everyone is usually nice), greed comes through in a most alarming manner. I’ve watched people turn into monsters. Make sure you have a will!!!! or people will fight. I know most people hate thinking about their death or their spouses death but honestly it’s just a fact of life. I’ve personally been the executor of 2 estates now. This is my advice: 1. If your young get life insurance. If you’re retired it’s not worth it. 2. Make sure you have a will. 3. Make sure you have a personal directive. 4. Make sure you have a power of attorney set up. 5. If your married make your spouse the beneficiary of your TFSA and RRSP(has to be done through the account not the will), they will roll into the spouses account without taxation. 6. If you’re married, and you own a house, make sure both names are on the title, joint tenant, NOT tenant in common. This activates right of survivorship on property and doesn’t have to go through the estate. 7. If you’re married, both people should have their name on all the vehicles, joint, otherwise it’s a headache after death. 8. Buy a file folding system. I have a plastic one that has a clasp and handle. 9. Put EVERYTHING in this file folder that would be needed if you died tomorrow. a) all land titles B) information on house insurance so it can either be eventually canceled or name changed over. C) your will (or the location of your will), power of attorney, and personal directive D) the information for your car, car insurance, and registration on vehicles. E) information on life insurance. F) all current year papers needed for filing your taxes. Because the survivor will have to do it and will need that information. G) where your household bills are. ALL OF THEM, electricity, gas, Netflix, magazine, subscriptions everything you can think of that is in their name. Because you are going to have to cancel them. H) their credit card information where to contact to cancel the cards I) birth certificate, SIN numbers, marriage, license, etc. J) information on all your investments accounts, bank accounts, etc. K) anything else you can think of for your situation If you’re married, I’d have one box per person. When you die, the funeral home will issue many death certificates. And your lawyer will give you copies of the will. These will be needed to change over any accounts. Everything else goes through the estate which is taxed and the lawyers take their fees so I’d avoid this as much as possible especially if you’re married. This is why having property in both people‘s names is so important because it doesn’t have to go through probate. I am widowed now and I have my black file folder and my two remaining children know if something happens to me, all they have to do is grab the folder. Everything they need to take care of my estate will be located in this folder. At the beginning of every year, I open this file up and go through everything to make sure it’s up-to-date. If you are young and do not own much or can’t afford a will, you can draft one up but it must be handwritten to be classified as a legal document. You cannot type it out!! If you’re not worth much, everything will most likely be sold to pay your bills and cover your funeral expenses. But you can state who your executor will be in your handwritten will. Disclaimer I’m not a lawyer or an accountant and this is not legal advice. Talk to a lawyer and talk to an accountant. Make sure everything is set up for you and your situation. These are situations that I personally ran into. Good luck Also I’ll add in. IF you have a lot of assets make an appointment with your accountant first. They will tell you how to properly set things up. Then take that information to your lawyer. read more
