Stock Market Today: What an end to the week on Wall Street! One of the all-time bull traps into Thursday's session, followed by a major wrecking of the tech trade. Rug-Pull Central.

Full risk-off, flight-to-safety mode during Thursday's afternoon session: TLT and staples up sharply. Semis and software hammered.

We'll review Western Digital (WDC) and Bloom Energy's (BE) quarterly results and give a preview for next week's most-important reports, including: Coca-Cola (KO), SK Hynix (SKHY), Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG), Intel (INTC), Amazon (AMZN) and SanDisk (SNDK).

Believe it or not: here comes our...

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...

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...

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...

Stock Market Today: The in-earnest start of the earnings season will be the talk of Wall Street this week.

SpaceX (SPCX) and Netflix (NFLX) on Tuesday, Meta (META) and Tesla (TSLA) on Wednesday, along with IBM (IBM). Nokia (NOK), Western Digital (WDC) and Bloom Energy (BE) on Thursday.

The guys will get into the set up for the week: what other catalysts to be on the look out for and what the rotations are telling us about the market. Trading ideas abound.

Our special guest: Danny Kirsch, Head of Options at Piper Sandler...

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. Stick with PMP, fam...!

Our very special guest: Louis Sykes, Senior Crypto Analyst, All Star Charts...

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...

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...

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...

Stock Market Today: The guys will get caught up on the weekend news: what's important and what can be ignored. Any trading ideas from over the weekend? Or do we already starting looking ahead for potential catalysts this week?

The earnings season kicks off with Goldman Sachs (GS), JP Morgan (JPM), Citi (C), UnitedHealth (UNH) and J&J (JNJ) Tuesday. The rest of the big banks will be done by Wednesday morning. Taiwan Semi (TSM) will report results Thursday morning.

Traders and investors this week will also focus on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and...

Stock Market Today: Mr. Market showed resiliency on Thursday afternoon following a report OpenAI's annualized run rate for revenue could be closer to $50 billion, well under an expectation near $70 billion.

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...

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...

Stock Market Today: What concern with rates and the TLT? What concern about oil and inflation? What concern about the Fed's interest rate path moving forward?

Stocks seem to be shrugging all of these off as the innovation and disruption AI has already caused and will continue to cause seems to be dead set on taking equities higher.

The guys will preview Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows and Surface event Wednesday and give a look ahead into what the next earnings season might have to offer, officially starting with the big banks next week.

Breaking...

Stock Market Today: This week's market rolls on as traders keep the boogeyman under the bed in the back of their minds: a TLT which moved lower despite odds of a Fed rate hike in October moving substantially lower. The TLT is rebounding Tuesday morning... will it hold?

Financials have been an issue recently - especially the regional banks. Goldman Sachs (GS) and Citi (C) seeing some signs of life Tuesday morning... we'll see how this price action shakes out at the open.

Constellation Energy (CEG) got the data center energy stocks moving higher following...

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...

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. Economists expect a non-farm reading for September around 89,000 jobs added and an unemployment rate around 4.1%.

- Tesla' (TSLA) Q3 sales data should be released around 9 a.m.

Dennis will be setting up for the weekend trade, giving trading ideas by the bundle.

The guys are also likely to touch on something which occurred to them only after PMP was ended yesterday and...

The PMP crew will review Micron's (MU) important quarterly earnings report, even-more-important guidance and Mr. Market's reaction to the updates. "This report will move the entire market," according to Dennis on Wednesday's PreMarket Prep episode.

The guys will also preview NIKE's (NKE) earnings, expected out after the close Thursday. Although a lackluster stock for quite some time, do traders and investors still use an apparel name like NIKE as some kind of gauge of the health of the global consumer...?

Joel will also try to squeeze in a little ticker time for any fans of...

All eyes turn to the memory space and Micron (MU) earnings Wednesday afternoon. The expected move sits around $80; we'll be expecting the results to hit newswires at 4:01 p.m. EDT. The guys will preview the results and give some perspective on what the important earnings report could mean for the memory space and the entire market as a whole.

We'll check in with Triple D to see how his weekend trade went and welcome on swing-trade expert, Christian Fromhertz, to help co host PreMarket Prep.

Dennis will be serving up trade ideas for his special brand of overnight trading, a dash of rant here, a pinch of sarcasm there - heaps of wisdom and knowledge on the side.

Christian will share perspective on recent momentous spaces - and the ones which may no longer be so momentous. The last time CF appeared on PreMarket Prep, he was very intrigued by the healthcare space, specifically...

The guys will finally find some time to discuss the ins & outs of a quad witch expiration day, Thursday's show so packed with AI hardware news, they weren't able to get to the witch discussion. (This one's for you, Dan!)

What does it mean? How does it affect trade on a given Friday? How can traders use the event to their advantage?

The Friday afternoon trade into the close should be a fun one as S&P changes announced September 4th will be effective at the start of trade Monday. Bloom Energy (BE), Everpure (P...

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...

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...

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...
