☕️ 3 Stocks I am watching very closely this week and why
Apr 13, 2026Howdy! 👋
The markets are already betting on a resolution in Iran even though the blockade initiated by US President Donald Trump doesn't seem to have yet started.
Good!
That means they're functioning normally — or at least as normally as they can be right now, absent any news from Islamabad. 🤷️
The Dow is being dragged down by Goldman because of “big trader games” but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are both green as I type. For how long, who knows… but I’ll take it!
This week I'm watching 3 super-critical events — albeit while trying to take a little time off after a spectacular weekend One Bar Ahead® Options Boot Camp in Seattle:
- What JPM CEO Jamie Dimon says about credit quality when the company reports.
- What ASML says about chip demand on Wednesday, because they're the shovel maker's shovel maker.
- What Netflix has to say about advertising, because I think that could bode well for not only Netflix itself but Meta and Alphabet, too — because it's a proxy for advertising spend.
Here's my take with the super-savvy Stuart Varney, who kindly asked me back this morning for a conversation as we kick off the week. (Watch) 📺
Now and with your indulgence, I've got a long list of nothing to do all day and with a little luck, I might get half of it done!
Remember, no matter what happens this week...
Investing in optimism beats cowering in pessimism.
You got this — I promise! 😀
As always, let's MAKE it a great day and start to the week!
Keith 😀
