Rebel Traders™ Podcast - Stock Market Trading Strategies, Insights & Analysis with Sean Donahoe & Phil Newton

There's no crocodiles in this show but there are a few snappy profit moves (See what we did there? Yeah it was bad but what can you do?). So, while Sean does the WORST impression of Mick Dundee the lads are talking about catching a falling knife in the markets. There's lots going on and this week is a mixed bag of nuts - Just like the FED - (Yeah, we went there!) and there's a ton to go over in this weeks show as we find some great stocks to trade, a few accidental opportunities and some wry looks at the mess that is the markets this week.

With a wee bit of a tech sell off, the NASDAQ and S&P 500 blowing off some steam as traders take some cash off the table, there are prime opportunities in the markets for a range of BTFD plays... ... And as you can expect, Sean and Phil are waiting with fingers on the trigger ready to take some shots, fill up their boots and prime their portfolios as they show you what they are doing and why.

With winter storms kicking the crap out of Texas, no water, intermittent power and flakey Internet, Sean is cranking the hamsters on the treadmill determined to make some traders while Phil is kicking his feet up. It's an interesting week with Bitcoin leaping past $52k, all time highs on the major indices and January retail numbers off the charts again. So, how do you NOT get killed in these markets and how do you navigate these waters the smart way? That's what we're covering this week...

With valentines day approaching we're taking a wry look at the markets that can either jilt you and make you smile from ear to ear and seeing what it takes to EXIT a trade the smart way. One thing we constantly shout from the rooftops is that we don't care what your "Position" says, you haven't made a dime until the position is closed and the cash is in your account. We'll give you some strategies in this weeks podcast to make sure those exists are more profitable and your risks are mitigated accordingly...

After the tumultuous week of diamond hands, stonks and RobinHood being accused of being the Sheriff of Nottingham, the Rebel Traders rip off the band-aid and what they said as it started last Wednesday came to pass... The music stopped, and unwary traders were left holding the rather smelly parcel. So, while many retail traders were getting their hot stock tips from meme-lords from Reddit, Sean and Phil were picking their targets elsewhere in a more profitable and lucrative sector as they followed the white rabbit even further down the market warren.

In this weeks show we tackle what happened with Gamestop, AMC and a few others that have hit the headlines with some crazy "Activist" trades that have shut down brokerages, may cause SEC investigations. We also tell you how to trade it (Hint, not what you expect!) On top of that, we tackle a wide range of questions we've been asked (and repeatedly) to create a wee bit of myth busting, reaffirming some of our methods and mindset and why Rebel Trading is the way to go for smarter more consistent trading...

It's all change at The White House and with a change in leadership how does that bode for the economy and markets moving forward? The Rebel Traders dig into the numbers and look ahead into some interesting opportunities. They also show how a spark of an idea can lead to interesting trades and some quick wins for stocks not usually on the radar.

With more political turmoil, Bitcoin in correction after blasting past $40k and a second impeachment and continued grandstanding, its been a bloody crazy week. However, the markets are resilient and just don't give a damn. So, while the talking heads are losing their minds, bustling egos are beating their chests, the Rebel Traders are sniping hot opportunities and trades. They are going to walk through how they filter 27k US equities into a handful of opportunities worth trading today.

With the first 7 days of 2021 being a wee bit more than interesting with political and civil unrest the Rebel Traders are taking a 50,000ft view of the markets. With 2020 in the rear view mirror they are looking ahead and rolling through the markets current environment to readjust, reaffirm and reset their portfolios and outlook on the year ahead.

We're dive into sherry, wrapping the pressies and sneak a few more candy-canes from the tree (Don't tell anyone!) So, in this weeks show we are rounding out 2020 with looking back on the trades, finding some last minute quick-hits and looking over portfolios to check performance. Not only that, we're finding, filtering and generating our universe of stocks and breaking down the process we use to find the stocks ACTUALLY worth trading and how we eliminate 99% of them that are just not worth our time or attention.

While we're dashing through DOW and staying above 30k it looks like the dovish fed is ploughing through in a one-horse powered clown car. it's time to take a look back over 2020. The Rebel Traders are taking a step back as they wind down the year to look over the portfolios of one of the most interesting years for trading in recorded history. So, come and join us as we look back and tear apart what is going on right now as well as what happened over the decade that was 2020.

With pretty much all major indexes reaching all time highs, there's a lot of interesting stocks to trade. Along with more unicorn IPOs and end of year outlooks, the Rebel Traders are having the pick of the pot. However, when picking potential trades are you looking at definite trades or stuck on "Maybe" trades. Sean and Phil break down what makes a good entry and a surprising strategy for forcing you to "Manage" trades.

With the DOW continuing to tickle 30,000, Bitcoin ticking $20,000 and the markets continuing to provide ripe opportunities every day there's one thing we have to consider.... RISK. In this weeks show, Sean and Phil tackle the big elephant in the room. While they break down what they are looking at in the markets, they also break down how to manage risk and show you simple ways to minimize the noise that could screw up your trading.

With the DOW tapping 30k this week and Bitcoin ticking around all time highs there is a lot to discuss in this week's Rebel Traders podcast. However, there is one thing no training program can ever teach is EXPERIENCE... That has to be learned the hard way... Or does it? Sean and Phil peel back the curtains on a wee method that can get you RAPID experience of market analysis in real-time in one of the most accelerated "Rebel Trader" methods ever...

With Tesla being ushered into the SPY, Bitcoin soaring past $18000 for the first time since 2017, and Boeing taking off again now that the 737 is allowed to commence flying again... There's a lot to talk about this week! The Rebel Traders are grabbing the proverbial bull by the horns and reveal what they are looking at and why. There's opportunities-a-plenty and they are also going to tackle one of the biggest misnomers that stifle new and inexperienced retail traders.

Well, with contested elections and a sudden announcement of a vaccine for Covid-19 that is 90% effective in trials, the markets are going a little bit bats&%t crazy. As always, there are opportunities everywhere and the Rebel Traders highlight those opportunities for the future and even some sniper shots for quick profits. They break down what's happening, why and how to cash in when the markets crash upwards (Yes, we cringed when we said that!) and November is providing a lot of interesting options for Rebel Traders.

Well, give that guy a damned Redbull and keep him counting? That was the reaction one-day after the election and Sean was in full ranty-pants mode. So much so that Phil and Sean decided to scrap the first version of the podcast and re-record after Sean took a Xanax and had a good lie down. So, with the election in contention as Sean and Phil predicted months ago, the markets are doing what they want to do regardless. With a Status Quo looking like it's in order it's hard to take politics out of this weeks market overview - So, they go full hog and rip apart the implications for all the scenarios and how it effects the markets moving forward and the opportunities presented.

Its just a few days before the US election, there is a jump in reported Covid-19 cases and the markets are taking a short term pounding for the last two weeks. What does that mean, what are the ramifications, and what's likely to be coming next? That's the question on everyones mind and Sean and Phil tackle and pull apart as volatility mounts and the financial news networks hype and strut around pounding their chests.

With less than two weeks until the election the markets are twitching, volatility is growing and Wall Street is clenching their cheeks real hard as we get closer to ZERO hour (Or week, month or whatever it turns out to be!) As the rebel traders pull apart what's going on, and explain the differences in expressing trade sentiment you have to ask… Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red Dress?

In this weeks Rebel Trader podcast, Sean and Phil are counting down the days until the US elections are over with just under 3 weeks to go and the markets not giving a damn. With a lack of volatility, the markets climbing higher, the Rebel Traders are finding prime trades to target. They also walk through the different styles and strategies they are using and why and when they change things up, how you can and should change things up based on your experience when the opportunity presents itself.

While the trading world is ready to pivot on a dime and jump like their ass is on fire at the slightest twitch in the markets, its amazing what a single tweet can do. It's full on mad-dash panic, the media whips up another storm and then the following day - Nadda, zilch, zip… So, knee jerk reactions can be a rich target environment for the trading sniper or a blip in the ocean that should be ignored. So, Sean and Phil break it all down to show you how to zig when everyone else zags and how to position yourself for profit when everyone else is running around in circles with their hair on fire…

With the debates over like a geriatric Thunderdome the main stream and financial media whip up a storm as two clowns enter and both clowns leave. However, the Rebel Traders break down what the markets really think. Not only that, they dive into ways to protect your portfolio with different strategies to protect against a retracement in the markets as both Sean and Phil still feel pangs of bearish sentiment despite their bullish portfolios.

The Rebel Traders love their classic movies and inspired by the cult classic 'The Dirty Dozen", Sean and Phil created a series of 12 trading rules to live by. Not only that, they are breaking the rules, riding the squirrels and following Alice down a few rabbit holes. They also dive into what's ticking on the Rebel Trader Radar with the current markets, some trading opportunities and updates on trades they have been calling out and have positions on right now… Strap in, trade on and let's Rock.

With the talking heads pretending like they weren't just calling another market crash and taking their toys home, the markets are ignoring the noise. The market moves and the traders jump, they are jittery and ready to pull the trigger and take their cash off the table. However, there are tell-tale signs and warnings when a crash is about to happen and a savvy trader is aware of those noises and rumblings before it happens. We took a quick look back over the last 25 years and examined the data of what happened BEFORE a crash and what happened AFTER. Not only that, we'll show you how you can profit from these twitches, retracements and corrections.

Retracement or route? Panic or profit taking? With tech stocks taking a beating and the main indices creating shock waves in the financial media, what is really going on? More importantly, are there opportunities for a swift profit or a smart position as uncertainty ahead of the election cycle starts to take hold? As always, the Rebel Traders are on the ball (or off their rocker) and ready to break it all down…

With Apple and Tesla hitting large gains and cash taking after stock splits along with rumors of a 10-1 Amazon stock split, the markets are loving it like a Big Mac. Sean and Phil break down whats happening, some interesting wins, some strategies that are navigating these turbulent waters and refinement processes to mitigate some negative trades. They also break down indicator plays as well as some rookie mistakes many traders make, how to really use indicators in a smarter way, with methods you will not find in the text-books. The show is a little backwards this week as they are chasing a few errant squirrels up a few different trees and taking their whimsical look at the markets with their usual tongue-in-cheek manner...

With the S&P punching through all-time-highs, Wall St and the markets blind to "The Situation" and money flowing on regardless, its impossible to not have a few nice bullish positions on but the bears are growling and biding their time. In this weeks show, we're pulling apart the reality and numbers to see what the hell is going on and is there any caution left in the trading world. Are the markets blind or just don't give a [INSERT SAMUEL L JACKSON]?

Is it time to bite the bullet or ride the V recovery? As the S&P500 reaches back to all-time-highs the Fed remains dovish on the whole economy… So, where are we in terms of REALITY vs MARKETS? Does the data match your expectations? The talking heads lose their minds daily and its time for a wee bit of rational analysis and tongue-in-cheek mockery while still taking some nice profits.

Have you ever heard the phrase, you need the right tool for the right job? Well, the same is true for trading. Stock selection is critical for your strategy and we're going to examine a few ways to refine your approach, so you can focus in on the correct stocks for a successful approach to trading. On top of that, we discuss the Apple and Tesla stock splits, as well as what's happening with precious metals and we take a few sniper shots at some easy targets to pick off for your portfolio.

There's some pervasive BS that we hear a lot from our friends up there on Wall Street and in the mainstream financial news media. In this weeks show we going to reveal the myth and disassemble it piece by piece. Not only that, they are going to show once and for all how they mitigate risk, reduce exposure and create ideal environments for successful trades.

To say that the markets are going through interesting times is an understatement. But, are the markets helpful to your trading style or are they hindering it? In this weeks Rebel Traders podcast, Sean and Phil tear apart two styles of trading that work very well in different environments and how to actually pivot or trade through. They also pull apart the Kodak monster move in real-time as it happened and go over how Sean got out of the way of that institutional freight train FAST.

The markets are continuing to defy gravity reason and expectation once again. The bears are confused, the bulls are cautious and cats and dogs are living together as the world continues to go nuts. However, Sean and Phil are on the trigger with sniper precise shots as they pick off their targets. With the adaptions to trading they break down in this show will help you reap the rewards during these turbulent times.

In this week's Rebel Traders Podcast we take an overarching look at the markets and see what the heck is going on. As the markets continue to defy gravity, fear, and uncertainty, they are continuing to show strength. However, is there an underlying nervousness, that threatens to topple the house of cards? Sean and Phil dive in and pull back the curtains to reveal what they are trading right now. They look at the details behind the markets and why they are loving what's going on with the money flow...

One of the biggest issues we see with a lot of new traders (and experienced ones) is a reliance on something that they may not even realize is costing them money - Lots of it. Worse still, it's keeping them out of profitable trades, leading them down the wrong path and robbing them of a critical analytical skill… Well, we're going to FIX that in this week's Rebel Traders podcast as Sean and Phil break it all down. They also take a look at the markets and raise the red flag because the tech sector is partying like it's 1999.

One thing a lot of people talk about is how to get into a trade. The one thing most people don't talk about is how to get out of a trade profitably. In this week's Podcast, Sean is back and ready to rock after his surgery. Sean and Phil discuss what's happening with half of this devastating year over, the state of the markets, the economy, as well as how to take your chips off the table at the RIGHT time to cap profits.

Phil's got the soapbox and the microphone this week as Sean is off the grid to recover from surgery. So, while the cats are away, of course Phil is going to play. In this week's show, Phil shows you why don't want to be caught playing musical chairs with this or any market. So, how can you avoid falling on your butt or getting left behind holding the bag while the markets happily empty your pockets? Phil breaks it down and reveals the Rebel Trader way so you can make sure that you are in complete control.

It's a sad fact that many traders are indeed trapped, glued to their screens, so they can watch every tick moment by moment. They get stressed about every move and question every aspect of the trades they make. In this week's Rebel Traders Podcast, Sean and Phil break down why they built their trading around the life they want rather than try to cram life around trading. There is a huge difference and when you understand the why, the how will become apparent...

In this weeks Rebel Traders Podcast, Sean and Phil are talking strategy development. Outside of the core strategy they teach to students all over the world, they are constantly developing, testing and refining strategies. They are peeling back the curtains on their processes and showing how they develop ideas, test and highlight the pitfalls, conditions and tests they do to fine tune ideas into working and profitable strategies (and even reveal a few they use and how they came about)

In this weeks show Sean and Phil looked into the craziness with the current situation, the riots, the fires, the looting, the controversy, the social unrest and why it's not actually affecting the markets yet. Given how 2020 has gone so far, they've kept their fingers on the pulse and their eye on the different aspects of the markets, some have been bearish, bullish or even neutral. However, the Fed is still cranking out cash and popping zeros on balances, flooding the markets to prop them up. What are the ramifications? That's what we covered.

In this week's show, Sean and Phil take a broad look at the markets as Phil is still in bear mode and Sean is breaking out the bull horns and is feeling a wee bit more optimistic. Not only that, it's the battle of the trades as two stocks enter and one stock leaves in a virtual death-match.

In this weeks show we're looking at a divergence we've not heard others talking about. A divergence between two core areas of the market that could be a red-flag for a future downturn or at least a change in the recent bullish recovery. So, join us as we dive into weeds and break it all down. We're looking at the broad markets as well as some specific instruments that tickled the Rebel Trader Radar…

In this week's show, Phil pulled a fast one Sean and Sean didn't have a clue what was going to happen today. As the markets go a little more crazy, $3 Trillion, 1800 page stimulus packages are DOA, there's going to be a few verbal hand grenades flying around. It's time to go Boom to the Moo (Not a typo as you will see in the show) and, in a break from usual broadcasting, it's time to peel back the curtains and tackle things the Rebel Trader way…

Restrictions are lifting slowly, people dealing with "Lockdown Fatigue" and official unemployment numbers coming out Friday with non-farm payrolls. It seems that the clowns and jokers are everywhere and the markets are pushing the bears back and giving the bulls a run… For now! That being said, Phil is donning his perma-bear outfit while Sean is a wee bit more optimistic fundamentally. They tear into the numbers and break down what they are seeing ahead and what's going on right now. More importantly, they also show how to continue to navigate these waters...

With the markets in an apparent state of recovery, the smart money is being cautious. With the Fed printing money and adding zeros to balance sheets, is it really going to help or hurt? Are we looking at a real recovery or are we going to retest the lows? Bulls, Bears and Tigers are roaring and money is flowing and Sean and Phil are going to discuss if it's going to make any difference and how…

A few weeks ago, everyone was a constitutional lawyer, then they were all virologists and now it seems everyone and their brother is a trading expert… So, Sean and Phil cut through the crap, focus on the Black Gold and break down EXACTLY what is happening, why it's happening and how to play these markets like a fiddle. Yep, it's the Rebel Trader way.

Think trading is risky? Maybe more screen time will help to make you a better trader, right? Someone once told you the way to be successful in trading is to bet the farm on ONE HUGE position? Ok, let's cut to it… We're going to obliterate many of the misnomers, misinformation and outright BS that we hear all the time. Not only that, we're going to discuss the current "Situation" and what is happening in the markets right now.

When is a trade not a trade? When is a profit not a profit? Can a profit be a loss at the same time? And who the hell let this cat out of it's box? A few questions we'll be answering in this weeks podcast and while the markets continue to be turbulent, we give a few insights into areas we're looking at that are presenting some great opportunities for the traders who don't have their heads buried in the sand.

Lies Lies & Dam Accusations. "...well you know what you can do with them don't you? You can stick them up your [BLEEP] [BLEEP] then you can [BLEEP]'ing [BLEEP][BLEEP] them you sheep [BLEEP]'ing [BLEEP]'er ...and now for our regularly scheduled broadcast!

With a huge stimulus package of $2 trillion on the table and markets leaping around gazelles on acid, traders all over the world are losing their minds. With many traders burning through their trading accounts fast and panicking in the streets, the Rebel Traders break it down and show you how to find the opportunities in the chaos.

In a trading account not so far far away… Han (Sean) and Chewie (Yeah, … You guessed it… Phil) take a step back from their actual planned show to tackle the markets, the chaos, the fear and the irrational market movements to show you how to rescue your portfolio and navigate the maw and see if they can make the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs. Expect more than a few soap-box moments as they tackle the current social, economic and market environments with their usual irreverent tongue-in-cheek style while they show you how to find the opportunity in the markets.
