Charging Up | Scott "Cow Guy" Shellady | PreMarket Prep - Sep 17, 2026
Major news in the AI hardware theme after hours as Amazon (AMZN) secured $8 billion in Generac (GNRC) backup power generators for its data centers. Nebius (NBIS) said it will raise on-demand NVIDIA (NVDA) GPU rates starting next month. An "intense hardware rally" was kicked off overnight, according to Triple D. Neocloud, fuel cell, optical, semi wafer and chip-testing stocks led the move higher. The guys review the Fed's interest rate decision and how Kevin Warsh's press briefing went. How did Warsh come across? Did he deliver what Mr. Market was looking for? What's the set up for the rest of this year's rate environment? We'll prep for a quad witch expiration on Friday. What is quad witch? How to trade it? The PreMarket Prep gang will get into it and welcome on... ...our special guest, at 8:05am, the one and only Scott "Cow Guy" Shellady.

Warsh's Big Day | Tony Pawlak - Real Life Trading | Sep 16, 2026
All eyes shift to Fed Chair Kevin Warsh on Wednesday as he prepares to oversee what could be the first interest-rate change of his tenure. With the CME's FedWatch tool showing an above-92% chance of a 25-basis point rate hike, the path for interest rates seems a foregone conclusion this week. But what will Warsh say at the 2:30pm EDT press briefing? This will be the key to Wednesday's Fed news - not necessarily the interest rate decision itself. Will he show concern about inflation? Job growth? AI safety? Trump's gold fish, Blimpie? So much build up and anticipation with this week's Fed announcement... what should traders focus on the rest of this week? The rest of this month, for that matter? We'll discuss where Mr. Market may look for a next all-important catalyst to narrow his eyes on. We'll also host one of the PMP chat's favorite segments: ticker time! Our special guest, at 8:35am, will be Tony Pawlak, owner and coach at Real Life Trading.

Does 10-Year Over 5% Matter? | JR Romero - T3 | PreMarket Prep - Sep 15, 2026
The yield for the 10-year Treasury note rose over 5% for the first time since 2007 early Tuesday... we'll discuss why traders and investors should care - or not care - about this threshold. Was Monday's concern about the AI trade and AI safety overdone? Was this public concern intentional or coordinated? Several tech execs seemed to suggest this was the case - one of them being NVDA's Jensen Huang. Names like SNDK, NBIS and ORCL were hammered on Monday. Cybersecurity stocks like PANW, FTNT and CRWD led the software trade sharply higher. Mark Zuckerberg said we actually need to be speeding up AI development - and bulls rewarded META shares, the stock up 2%. Elsewhere, CRM's Dreamforce event begins Tuesday and the CLARITY Act will face a Senate vote Tuesday afternoon. The Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates 25 bps on Wednesday at 2pm. This week ends with a triple witch expiration on Friday. Our special guest, at 8:35am EDT, will be JR Romero of T3 Live.
