This week, the Federal Reserve did exactly what everyone was expecting: nothing. After months of uncertainty, fueled by tariffs and growing global tensions, the Fed opted to keep key interest rates unchanged at the 4.25%–4.5% range. Fed Chair Jerome Powell tried to sound firm.

Editor’s Note: Imagine this: You spot a stock idea you love – maybe from one of my premium services – and you wish you could amplify its profit potential. That’s exactly what TradeSmith’s newest release is designed to do. In short, it’s a powerful AI system that identifies the exact right “profit window” for a trade – something that used to require massive computing power and was reserved for hedge funds like Citadel or Virtu.

Overall, investors have been reminded that geopolitical risks are almost always more bark than bite. CommentaryInflation continues to disappear, but the Fed doesn’t seem to believe the data yet. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets today and tomorrow. If they don’t cut their key interest rate this week, they should at least announce their intention to cut during their next meeting (July 29-30).

There is a lot happening on Wall Street, as well as behind the scenes, this week. First and foremost, last Friday, news broke that Israel conducted a round of airstrikes against Iran. Stocks fell the most in nearly a month, as the prospect of a broader conflict and an oil supply shock sent crude prices to their biggest one-day gain in years. Over the weekend, back-and-forth strikes between the two countries intensified.

Last week began on a strong note, with the S&P 500, Dow and the NASDAQ staying in the green until Thursday. But on Friday, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East broke the market’s winning streak. News broke that Israel conducted airstrikes against Iran, causing stocks to fall the most in nearly a month, while gold and crude oil prices surged.

During these busy times, it pays to stay on top of the latest profit opportunities. And today’s blog post should be a great place to start. After taking a close look at the latest data on institutional buying pressure and each company’s fundamental health, I decided to revise my Stock Grader recommendations for 132 big blue chips. Chances are that you have at least one of these stocks in your portfolio, so you may want to give this list a skim and act accordingly.

For decades, Apple Inc. (AAPL) has dazzled the world. One of the ways it did this was at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), held each June. For example, in 1983, at the first WWDC, attendees had to sign a non-disclosure agreement. That’s where, rumor has it, folks got the first look at a product called Lisa. We now know this was the world’s first personal computer with a graphic interface. The point is Apple’s history is filled with game-changing products and software.

Today is Friday the 13th, a day that’s been considered an “unlucky” day for centuries in Western culture. Now, a lot of folks may get a little jumpy on Friday the 13th. And the reality is, whether we’re talking about broken mirrors or black cats, it’s easy to see the folly in our own superstitions. Because the truth is, they’re mostly harmless. But I’ll tell you one thing. There’s a far more dangerous superstition haunting Wall Street. And it’s emanating from inside the halls of the Federal Reserve.

Editor’s Note: About 40 years ago, I created the quantitative system that many of you know today as Stock Grader. In fact, I’ve been called one of the first “quants” on Wall Street. Of course, the technology is better these days, so I’ve souped it up immensely since then. But the fact is it still does what I designed it to do way back when. What I haven’t done, though, is design quant systems for other analysts.

Editor’s Note: Despite another chaotic month, the S&P 500 recorded its best May since 1990 – rising more than 6%. However, that’s nothing compared to the gains my colleague Jeff Clark made. Jeff’s short-term trades delivered a cumulative return of 129% in just five days in May (he’ll explain how in today’s guest article) – more than 20X higher than the S&P 500’s gain. And those returns are no fluke. Jeff is one of the country’s top “chaos” traders, so he thrives during volatile markets.
