    'It's A Trap!' | Cameron Dawson, NewEdge Wealth | Oct 22, 2026

    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 means for market players. Our special guest, at 8:35am EDT: Cameron Dawson, CFA, Chief Investment Officeress at NewEdge Wealth. Joel, Dennis and Brent welcome you as they host PreMarket Prep's 3,650th episode!

    Happy Hardware | Blu Putnam, Chief Economist | Oct 21, 2026

    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 a merger was "not a certainty." Our special guest on Wednesdays, at 8:35 am EDT: Blu Putnam, Stock Trader Network's Chief Economist. Joel, Dennis and Brent welcome you as they host PreMarket Prep's 3,649th episode!

    Squirrely Market | Christian Fromhertz | Todd Gordon | Oct 20, 2026

    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 grain of salt as a lot of the macro news over the next couple weeks will be intended to position ahead of the all-important mid-way elections. Two special guests today! - Christian Fromhertz, from Tribeca Trade Group, to give us a quick check in and weekly update on any swing trade ideas and momentous names to keep an eye on. - Todd Gordon, from Inside Edge Capital.

    Black Monday To Green Monday | Danny Kirsch, Head of Options, Piper Sandler | Oct 19, 2026

    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. Danny will help the guys review the options expiration on Friday last week. What does options activity in this market environment tell us about the broader stock market? We'll get into such question...

    Will SMH Roll Back Over? | Louis Sykes, All Star Charts | Oct 16, 2026

    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. Louis was one of the first and fav contributors for our Hive Digital (HIVE)-sponsored Crypto Corner a few months ago. What a great time to see how he's been now that the bitcoin environment seems to be evolving quite a bit. Can't forget: we'll also check in and see how Louis' hair has been.

    Flight To Safety | Stephanie Link, Hightower | Oct 15, 2026

    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 episode of "Options Unchained" on the PMP YouTube channel, noted the CPI and PPI always come in pairs and traders are often hesitant to call an "All clear!" until they get _both_ reports. That being said, CC described the PPI Thursday as a potential hurricane waiting offshore. If we get another hot inflation reading, the market could see quite a bit of volatility into Friday... Tesla (TSLA) investors, traders and fan boys and girls will also be eagerly awaiting the unveil event for the long-anticipated Roadster. We're expecting that event to start around 7:55 p.m. CDT - 19:55 in 24-hour/military time, potentially signifying the year Mr. Marty McFly time traveled to in "Back To The Future."

    Most Important Data Point Of The Year? | Blu Putnam, Chief Economist | Oct 14, 2026

    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 Morgan Stanley (MS) will report in the morning, as will one of the most important chip companies in the world, ASML (ASML). The guys will be standing by to hear any insight from an Anthropic Investor Day - something we've heard reports about but haven't quite gotten confirmation on yet. GameStop's (GME) Ryan Cohen is still at it, buying another $22.8 million in company stock. GME shares popped after hours but some profits were taken.
