“Markets Post Worst First Half of a Year in Decades,” screamed the headline in The Wall Street Journal.
I have to laugh.
This means nothing.
The whole point of what we do is to find ways to win in any market – even if the economy as a whole is in a recession.
And that’s also why we have shorts…
And why we use puts…
And that’s why we find the stocks that are hitting highs even in this trading environment.
I broke down the chart for The Chef’s Warehouse, Inc (CHEF) just a couple days ago. It was in the green midday yesterday but ended up more or less where it started.
It’s times like this when technical-based trading is most important… because it lets you see the opportunities that everyone else is missing.

Retreat From Snake Island, Worst Market In 50 Yrs, New SCOTUS Justice
-
Russia Withdraws From Snake Island – In what Russia is calling a “goodwill gesture” but the rest of the world is calling a defeat, Russian forces have been withdrawn from Snake Island, dealing a blow to Russian control over the Black Sea. The move will help Ukraine export food and other goods, loosening Putin’s stranglehold on the Ukrainian economy. Snake Island became immortalized early in the war when Ukrainian defenders told Russian attackers to “f*** off.” The heroes were then honored posthumously by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy… which became awkward when it turned out they were still alive and had been taken prisoner.

S&P 500 Down 21% So Far – It’s the worst market performance since 1970, as the S&P 500 is down 21% through Thursday. Investment grade bonds have also posted the worst start to the year in history, down 11% so far.

Supreme Court Limits EPA Regulations – In a shot across the bow to what has been called the administrative state, the Supreme Court ruled that the EPA does not have a large amount of authority to regulate greenhouse gases. “A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body,” wrote Chief Justice John Roberts.

USA Missile Test Fails – Russia, China and even North Korea claim they are developing “hypersonic” missiles. However, the United States suffered a black eye when a recent test of “Conventional Prompt Strike” failed. Nontheless, the Pentagon said it “remains confident that it is on track to field offensive and defensive hypersonic capabilities on target dates beginning in the early 2020’s.” But we’re already in the early 2020’s…

At Least Venezuela Is Doing Well – The developed world may be facing a recession, but at least the Bolivarian Republic is booming. The Venezuelan economy is having its best economic performance in 15 years, with GDP expected to grow 8.3%. Countries like the United States have reopened to Venezuela as they attempt to cut Russian oil and natural gas out of the world market.
