Veteran trader has surprising message on stocks
Veteran trader has surprising message on stocks originally appeared on TheStreet. The stock market's move higher since April 9 has been impressive. The rally has been relentless after President Donald Trump paused most of the reciprocal tariffs he had announced only days earlier on April 2, so-called Liberation Day. The S&P 500 has risen over 25% and the Nasdaq Composite has increased by 35%, with each recently notching all-time highs. 💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter💰 The stock market's move in speed and size likely surprised many, given that higher-than-expected tariffs had caused the S&P 500 to tumble 19%, nearly into bear market territory. Many concerns during stocks' sell-off, including the risk of stagflation or recession, remain possibilities, given that unemployment has risen this past year and sticky inflation could ding GDP later this year when the full impact of remaining tariffs passes through supply chains. Stocks generally do best when investors are optimistic about future revenue and earnings growth, and households and businesses ramp up spending rather than retrench. As a result, many people are likely scratching their heads, wondering what may happen next, especially since the S&P 500's valuation has surged back to new highs. Those in the bullish camp say the 19% decline in the S&P 500 between February and April's low priced in enough risk to set the stage for persistent gains. Bears argue lofty valuations and a sputtering economy put stocks at risk of a reckoning. Many Wall Street pros, including popular veteran trader Mark Minervini, have offered their opinions recently. Minervini was mentored by legendary stock picker William O'Neil and was featured in the "Market Wizards" book series for his ability to profit from good and bad tapes. Recently, Minervini delivered a candid message about the stock market, and given his experience, considering what he has to say may be smart. What will happen to the economy next because of tariffs is debatable. Tariff proponents believe that they're the best way to strong-arm a return of manufacturing to America, and the risk of them igniting inflation is overblown. Opponents think tariffs weigh on already cash-strapped consumers, crimping economic activity and slowing business spending while C-suites await trade deal clarity. The reality may wind up landing somewhere in the middle. If so, an uptick in unemployment, stalled inflation progress, and cuts to GDP forecasts could be in the already seeing some worrisome signs. While the unemployment rate is relatively healthy at just 4.1%, it has risen from 3.4% in 2023. Further, over 696,000 people have been laid off year-to-date through May, up 80% year over year, according to Challenger, Gray, & Christmas. The most hawkish Federal Reserve interest rate hikes since former Fed Chair Paul Volcker battled runaway inflation in the early 1980s have contributed to the weakening job markets. The Fed's current Chair, Jerome Powell, raised interest rates by 5% in 2022 and 2023, wrestling CPI inflation down below 3% from 8% in 2022. The drop in inflation is welcome, but there has been limited progress recently. Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation was 2.7% in May, matching January's reading. Stalled inflation progress may increase the risk that tariffs cause prices to swell again, putting the Federal Reserve in a bind. The Federal Reserve's dual mandate is low inflation and low unemployment, two often contrary goals. When the Fed raises rates, it slows inflation but increases unemployment. When it cuts rates, it lowers unemployment but accelerates inflation. Late last year, the Fed switched from rate hikes to rate cuts, lowering its Fed Funds Rate by 1% to support the job market. However, sticky inflation and tariff uncertainty have since moved the Fed to the sidelines, which is problematic for stocks because higher rates drag on profitability and reduce personal and business spending. In June, the Fed cut its GDP estimate for this year to 1.4%, down from 1.7% in March, and meaningfully below the 2.8% growth notched in 2024. If Powell leaves rates unchanged and the economy gets worse, Congress may not be able to help. Fiscal policy is hamstrung by a mountainous deficit and soaring debt pile, particularly following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act tax deficit is already above $1.8 trillion, accounting for 6.4% of gross domestic product, and total public debt outstanding is roughly 122% of GDP, far north of the 75% level witnessed during 2008's Great Recession. The CBO estimates that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will increase national debt by $2.4 trillion through 2034. While this backdrop threatens revenue and earnings growth, the stock market's record-setting run suggests investors think any economic dip will be temporary. Mark Minervini has been trading stocks for nearly 40 years. A technical analyst, Minervini cut his teeth learning from William O'Neil, the veteran Wall Street stock picker likely best known as the founder of Investor's Business Daily. Minervini won the U.S. Investing Championship in 2021 with a remarkable 334.8% return, a record. He also won the title in 1997 with a 155% return. More experts: Fed official sends strong message about interest-rate cuts Billionaire fund manager sends surprising message on trade deficit Hedge-fund manager sees U.S. becoming Greece Since he's a technician, Minervini uses price action to inform his buy and sell decisions. While the rally since April has been rewarding, he has noticed some trouble under the hood that could give active investors pause. "If you are a breakout trader using tight stops — even though the indexes have ripped higher — you have likely experienced a low batting average," wrote Minervini on X. Minervini is a rules-based trader who limits losses by using tight stop-loss orders. Stops can protect your downside, but during periods of volatility, they can trigger more often than usual, reducing your winning percentage. "The frequent occurrence of squats and outright failures continues to dominate as a theme around breakout levels, clearly signaling that conditions remain challenging and volatile around key risk levels," wrote Minervini. "These failed breakouts reveal persistent overhead supply and insufficient follow-through from institutional buyers, underscoring a risk off market with regard to broad-based participation." Minervini prefers to buy stocks as they rise, believing winners will continue to win. The failure of breakout stocks to follow through suggests to him that institutional investors aren't willing to press the accelerator, making it challenging to profit big from trading stocks. "I remain an active participant and careful observer, adjusting day by day and ensuring risk management remains my top priority," wrote Minervini. "As far as breakout stocks are concerned, this is NOT yet an Easy Dollar environment. For the most part, we are still fighting for pennies."Veteran trader has surprising message on stocks first appeared on TheStreet on Jul 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

Will Nvidia Announce Something Big on July 16?
Nvidia has been an artificial intelligence leader and major winner over the past few years. On July 16, CEO Jensen Huang may address one of the company's biggest challenges. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has made headlines over the past few years as it's reinforced its position as an artificial intelligence (AI) chip leader. The company has spoken of "insane" demand for its latest architecture and chip, has delivered record levels of revenue and high profitability, and has shown that it can be part of every stage of AI growth. All of this has helped the shares to skyrocket, advancing more than 980% over the past three years. But Nvidia has encountered one major hurdle along this path, and that's operating in the Chinese market. A few years ago, the U.S. launched export controls, preventing Nvidia and others from shipping their top-performing chips to that country. Nvidia responded by designing a chip that met U.S. guidelines, but this spring the U.S. informed the company that it could no longer export that chip without a license -- the U.S. hasn't yet granted such a license to chip companies. That move officially closed the door to the Chinese market, prompting Nvidia to say it no longer would include China in its earnings guidance. Since, CEO Jensen Huang has spoken openly about how export controls will be negative for U.S. chip designers as well as the AI industry in the U.S. Now, Huang has something planned for July 16 that Nvidia investors should watch. First, though, a quick summary of Nvidia's path so far and its position in China. As mentioned, Nvidia is the world's AI chip leader, selling its graphics processing units (GPUs) to everyone from start-ups to tech giants. The company also offers a wide range of AI products and services, and this whole package has helped generate double- and triple-digit revenue growth -- Nvidia reported a staggering level of revenue in the latest full year at $130 billion. Nvidia generates most of its revenue in the U.S., but China also is an important market. In the recent fiscal year, that country represented 13% of the company's total sales. This is as Nvidia sold its H20 chip, specifically designed to meet U.S. export guidelines for the Chinese market. But, as mentioned, Nvidia received a letter from the government this spring saying it could no longer continue shipping H20s as usual. This resulted in Nvidia taking a $4.5 billion charge in the quarter for H20s that it could no longer sell, and even worse, it locked this chip giant out of the China market. Huang made a trip to China in April and hasn't given up on an eventual return to the market. "We are exploring limited ways to compete," Huang said during Nvidia's recent earnings call. Now, let's consider what's happening on July 16. Huang plans to hold a press conference in Beijing, Reuters reported, citing an Nvidia official. The wire service also reported that two senators sent Huang a letter asking him not to meet with companies working with Chinese military or intelligence as well as companies on the U.S. export restriction list. Should investors expect a big announcement from Huang during the media briefing? The Chinese export situation is complex, but Huang has shown himself to be resourceful in the past. One example is Nvidia's rapid development of the H20 to suit earlier guidelines. Another example of resourcefulness happened after President Donald Trump announced his import tariff plan this spring. Nvidia then said it would invest in U.S. manufacturing facilities to produce the first AI supercomputers in the U.S. Of course, it's impossible to predict what Huang will say on July 16 with 100% accuracy, but I wouldn't be surprised if this resourceful CEO announces some progress on Nvidia's quest to return to the Chinese market. And if he does, this clearly could be big news for Nvidia -- and the stock could soar. What does all of this mean for investors over the long term? The ability to sell chips once again to China would offer Nvidia a revenue boost, and that's positive. But it's important to keep in mind that even if Nvidia doesn't announce something big this week and it remains excluded from the Chinese market, this company still generates extremely strong growth -- and is well positioned to continue along that path with or without China. That's why, whether Nvidia is able to return to that market or not, this AI stock remains a fantastic one to hold on to over time.
