Algorithmically Violent | Tommy Lackey, Relativity Capital | Oct 29, 2026
Stock Market Today: Moments before Wednesday's close, a WSJ report suggested U.S. Vice President Vance, on a hunt for peace in the Middle East, reached out to a so-called "hard-liner" Iranian authority to restart talks. S&P 500 futures rallied nearly 40 points following the report - only to have given all the gains back over just the next ten minutes. Harpoon #1. Google (GOOG) results were first to roll down the earnings track, flat out missing and sending shares lower. Harpoon #2. Microsoft (MSFT) was next, reporting a good quarter but saving their guidance for the 5:30 p.m. EDT conference call. One of Stock Trader Network's smart Think Tankers, Sam, noted the company's capex was lower than expected, something which may not have been a great sign for the hardware trade. Two more harpoons incoming, dead ahead!: Fortinet (FTNT) earnings and guidance were viewed unfavorably, bringing the entire cybersecurity sector lower, and ServiceNow (NOW) also seemed to disappoint, pushing down the likes of Salesforce (CRM) and HubSpot (HUBS). But then maybe the doozy of the night: a Bloomberg report Marvell (MRVL) could be near a "megadeal" to buy optical name Lumentum (LITE). The guys will recap all of above news items, dig for opportunities and trading ideas and give their unfiltered take on how the market reacted. They'll also welcome... ...our special guest and frequent co-host in STN's Think Tank: Tommy Lackey, of Relativity Capital. We'll check in to see how Tommy has been and how his relative strength movers and nitrous strikes scanners have been serving him and his clients.

Crazy Hair Day | Christian Fromhertz | Mish Schneider | Oct 27, 2026
Stock Market Today: A calm(er) start to the Tuesday on Wall Street. Celestica's (CLS) strong results and guidance Monday afternoon sparked a minor rally in the AI hardware names like SanDisk (SNDK) and Bloom Energy (BE).

'It's A Trap!' | Cameron Dawson, NewEdge Wealth | Oct 22, 2026
Stock Market Today: The Admiral knew all along. It was a trap. Initial earnings pops in Tesla (TSLA), certainly IBM (IBM), even Meta (META) were faded - and then some. Triple D weighed in from the STN Think Tank as the Tesla conference call was getting ready to wrap up. Shares had fallen about 4% from their after-hours highs; Meta shares were down 5% from theirs. "Meta and Tesla were bull traps for the entire market." The guys will dig into the bull trap: what it is, how it happens and what it means for market players. Our special guest, at 8:35am EDT: Cameron Dawson, CFA, Chief Investment Officeress at NewEdge Wealth. Joel, Dennis and Brent welcome you as they host PreMarket Prep's 3,650th episode!

Happy Hardware | Blu Putnam, Chief Economist | Oct 21, 2026
Stock Market Today: An absolute heater of an after-hours session Tuesday, sparked by extremely strong guidance from Super Micro Computer (SMCI) and blow-out Q3 earnings and guidance from SpaceX (SPCX) and Elon Musk. SMCI raised it's next-quarter sales guidance by almost 30%, from around $15 billion to now near $19 billion. Traders scrambled, panicked into AI hardware names like Dell (DELL), SanDisk (SNDK) and Nebius (NBIS). Tesla (TSLA) shares moved higher despite a bit of a mixed signal on the SpaceX call: during the Q&A section, when asked about combining two of his companies, Musk responded that a merger was "not a certainty."

Squirrely Market | Christian Fromhertz | Todd Gordon | Oct 20, 2026
Stock Market Today: A little sketchy into the open on Monday, the AI hardware/semiconductor trade seemed to put in some not-bearish work Monday afternoon. NVIDIA (NVDA) and CoreWeave (CRWV) shares moved a couple percent higher; SanDisk (SNDK) and Micron (MU) traded up 6% and 3%, respectively; Oracle (ORCL) shares were up 2% and Nebius (NBIS) shares were up about 3%. But all the price action seems to have a filter pulled over it: the mid-term elections filter. Any macro headlines seen - especially items which lean toward the politics side of things - should be viewed with a grain of salt as a lot of the macro news over the next couple weeks will be intended to position ahead of the all-important mid-way elections. Two special guests today! - Christian Fromhertz, from Tribeca Trade Group, to give us a quick check in and weekly update on any swing trade ideas and momentous names to keep an eye on. - Todd Gordon, from Inside Edge Capital.

Stock Market Today: Did the SMH finally start bottoming? Will the rebound in TLT continue to hold? Did Elon Musk use his new time-traveling Roadster to travel back to 1844 so he could give Samuel Morse the schematics for the telegram? Where _was_ Joel? A lotta questions to end this week on Wall Street. We'll get 'em all answered too! Might even come up with a trading idea or two or ten. Be informed. Be prepared. Be enlightened. Be entertained.

Flight To Safety | Stephanie Link, Hightower | Oct 15, 2026
Stock Market Today: A "massacre" in the AI hardware trade overnight as details of Anthropic's Investor Day trickling out after hours caused a monster sell-the-news moment. "Market playing full-on defense again," Dennis said in the Stock Trader Network Think Tank Wednesday night. "AI stocks down 3-5% across the board [but] SPY barely down because stocks like Apple (AAPL)." Rotation, rotation, rotation ala Microsoft's (MSFT) Steve Ballmer in that one internet meme. What a Thursday backdrop to get yet another major economic data point: PPI at 8:30 a.m. EDT. OptionsAI's CC Lagator, during Wednesday's episode of "Options Unchained" on the PMP YouTube channel, noted the CPI and PPI always come in pairs and traders are often hesitant to call an "All clear!" until they get _both_ reports. That being said, CC described the PPI Thursday as a potential hurricane waiting offshore. If we get another hot inflation reading, the market could see quite a bit of volatility into Friday... Tesla (TSLA) investors, traders and fan boys and girls will also be eagerly awaiting the unveil event for the long-anticipated Roadster. We're expecting that event to start around 7:55 p.m. CDT - 19:55 in 24-hour/military time, potentially signifying the year Mr. Marty McFly time traveled to in "Back To The Future."

Most Important Data Point Of The Year? | Blu Putnam, Chief Economist | Oct 14, 2026
Stock Market Today: Wall Street is all jazzed up, waiting for what Triple D recently called "the most important Consumer Price Index report of the year." The guys will preview the 8:30 a.m. EDT CPI print, break the news in real time, give analysis of the market reaction and then welcome on STN's Chief Economist, Blu Putnam, to give a top-notch breakdown of the data itself. Whew! This will be an extremely high value five, ten minutes of broadcasting! The big bank earnings season will be wrapped up just a day after it started. BofA (BAC) and Morgan Stanley (MS) will report in the morning, as will one of the most important chip companies in the world, ASML (ASML). The guys will be standing by to hear any insight from an Anthropic Investor Day - something we've heard reports about but haven't quite gotten confirmation on yet. GameStop's (GME) Ryan Cohen is still at it, buying another $22.8 million in company stock. GME shares popped after hours but some profits were taken.

Uncrowding | Christian Fromhertz, TTG | Jonathan Corpina, Meridian | Oct 13, 2026
Stock Market Today: The AI hardware trade felt tired Monday while the anticipatory run-up trade in financials seemed to be working well. Big banks and staples continued higher after hours Tuesday evening. JP Morgan (JPM), Goldman Sachs (GS), Citi (C) and Wells Fargo (WFC) will kick off the Q3 earnings season Tuesday. Traders look forward to TechCrunch's Disrupt 2026 event Tuesday, where NVIDIA's (NVDA) Jensen Huang and execs from Cerebras (CBRS), Rivian (RIVN), Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG) and Circle Internet (CRCL) will present. Overnight news: - Reddit (RDDT) saw an after-hours iceberg seller at $155 and $156 but the guys couldn't find hard news on the company or stock. - Navitas Semi (NVTS) seemed to issue what Brent called "a fluffy" release highlighting another "collaboration" with NVIDIA (NVDA). - Bumble (BMBL) saw a mid-day rumor of go-private interest which got shares of Match (MTCH) and Grindr (GRND) moving. We'll have two great guests: - Christian Fromhertz, founder and operator of Tribeca Trade Group, for a quick few-minute check in on the swing trade side of things and - Jonathan Corpina, Senior Managing Partner at Meridian Equity Partners and Equity Trader at the NYSE. Both of these guys will have numerous premier trading ideas and very likely will also be able to drop some great veteran market knowledge, wisdom and education on the PMP community.

Elon Musk and Starlink shook up the U.S. wireless carrier group after hours following news SpaceX (SPCX) bought 800MHz spectrum, something which will allow the company to compete against AT&T (T), Verizon (VZ) and T-Mobile (TMUS). (Speaking of Elon Musk: should we get Tesla's (TSLA) Roadster launch back on our catalyst radar? The unveil event was delayed from October 1st to October 15th. That's next Thursday...)

Bull, Bears And Rate Scares | Paul Dietrich, Wedbush | Oct 8, 2026
Stock Market Today: A 10-year note auction which showed a yield over 5.3% gave some near-term relief to investors concerned with the course of rates and the TLT's charge lower. What do the auction results mean for traders and investors and how to get ahead of this potential catalyst? The guys will break the info down, give some great education and maybe even a trading idea or two. UPDATE: The TLT has given up Wednesday's gains and mark a new low. This is getting serious, traders... Tech companies are hungry for AI chips, several reports late Wednesday Broadcom (AVGO), Oracle (ORCL) and SpaceX (SPCX) are working with Apollo (APO), Blackstone (BX) and Goldman Sachs (GS) to find financing in order to buy chips.

What's Cookin' ...? | Matthew Tuttle, Tuttle Capital | Oct 5, 2026
Stock Market Today: The PreMarket Prep guys get fired up for another wonderful week on Wall Street - "just another week for you and me in paradise," that's what that guy who was in Genesis sang, right? We'll check in to see how Triple D's weekend trades went. He was desperately trying to buy GameStop (GME) all after-hours Friday but the stock was bid up too much just after the close. Of course: around 5 p.m. EDT - as warned about by Stock Trader Network's very-own patron saint, San Miguel - Ryan Cohen dropped yet another insider purchase filing, this time to the tune of $17 million. Cohen has now purchased more than $70 million in stock in just the last month. One more time: Ryan Cohen has used his own money to purchase $74.5 million in GameStop company stock since September 10th...

Market Getting Chippy? | Shana Sissel, Banrion Capital | Oct 2, 2026
Stock Market Today: several notable catalysts to be informed on and analyze... - the Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly jobs report will be due out at 8:30 a.m. EDT.

The guys are also likely to touch on something which occurred to them only after PMP was ended yesterday and we moved into the Stock Trader Network Think Tank: could the immense pressure on TLT the last few months eventually (or soon) lead to some kind of regional bank crisis? The implications will be considered... Our special guest: Shana Sissel, CAIA, CEO, Banrion Capital, author, speaker, "The Queen of Alternatives."
