Goodmorning and Happy Friday, a few quick thoughts before we depart for the week.
Will Israel and Iran War Crash The Stock Market?
I give no personal view point on the matter, to be clear. But my honest speculation, is that the stock market will soon forget and move on. This entire region of the world has been at war since man walked earth. Even I have served over there years ago. We can see that Iran has been engaged in modern warfare since at least 1979, and well before.1
A short term scare to the market? Sure. Long term? Possible, but I doubt it.
Regardless…we have several positions up. We will ensure profits are locked with those. Stocks down or within range, we will not allow to turn into big losses.
As mentioned yesterday, due to the VIX being fussy, have stops set or cut prices in mind.
Does this warrant freak out mode? No.
Should we panic sell a -3% move on a mid-cap stock? No.
Does this post guarantee the stock market will recover? No.
But we will ensure profits don’t turn to bags, and small losses do not become big losses!
Please Fill Out The Survey…It Takes LESS THAN 2 MINUTES!
We are rapidly approaching a Full Orange Badge, 56 spots remain before I must, unfortunately, increase prices. The StockTok Screener, which has produced numerous big winners. We must limit access so it does not lose its edge. Details of this can be found in this article, “Membership is Growing Fast – And That’s Kind of a Problem in the Stock Market.”
I cannot improve your experience here on Substack, if I don’t know what gripes you have! The quick survey can be accessed by clicking 👉 HERE 👈
Improvements For Long Term Investors
The StockTok screener as mentioned, has produced a lot of winners. But I am fully cognizant that many of you do not like to actively trade (to be totally fair, even I dont like how “quick” it is…but I take what I can get!)
This weekend, my goal is to build a 2nd screener from the original, but it will operate off the Weekly and Monthly time frame. This will provide longer term trades and investments. Stay tuned for updates on this!
As always, thank you for your support. I hope that you have found the content beneficial, and a place you feel welcome. If you have questions, never hesitate to ping me in the chat. If I am not there, just tag me, and I will respond when I return.

Love the long term idea Tim! That has been my only complaint since I can’t monitor daily. I feel like I’ve missed out on maximum gains. When I’m traveling internationally, it’s hard to stay on top of it!
