I have exciting news: I’m going to share my latest market insights – and best investment ideas – at an all-new MoneyShow event in South Florida this April. And I want you to join me!
The 2026 MoneyShow Masters Symposium Hollywood Florida will run from April 9-11 at the exclusive Diplomat Beach Resort. Over three days at the oceanfront venue, you’ll learn about the greatest investing and trading opportunities in 2026 – from dozens of the nation’s leading financial experts.
PLUS, you’ll enjoy an incredible lineup of entertainment and networking events – AND access to six MoneyMasters Courses on options trading, choosing the best cryptocurrencies, and more.
Here’s where you can get more details about my sessions at the Expo:
- From 2020 to 2025, investors lived through one of the most distorted market cycles in history. But even though the rules have changed in 2026, most investors are still using the old playbook.
- Luke will cover what investors must do now to protect and grow wealth in the next phase - including why to transition from trading wins to a real wealth and income strategy ... before the market forces you to.
Several of our experts have identified the healthcare sector as a powerful profit play. But where should you invest within the industry? Which Big Pharma plays offer the right combination of growth and income? And where can you strike it rich in the ever-shifting biotechnology space? Find out from our sector experts in this enlightening and actionable panel discussion.

CPI was as expected, at 0.3% m/m and Core at 0.2%. Everybody cares about March data, after this oil shock,so these numbers have less impact than usual. On the bright side, Supercore inflation was 0.35% m/m vs. prev. 0.59%. On the downside, real weekly earnings were 0.1% m/m vs. prev. 0.5%. Good for softer inflation, tough for workers. Overall, not too bad, though the numbers that go into PCE were on the hotter side.
The IEA unanimously voted to release reserves, tamping oil down, again. When the cuts were deemed too small, that lifted oil.
However, Iranian explosive-laden boats managed to hit two tankers in Iraqi waters carrying Iraqi fuel and causing their ports to stop operations. This got oil even higher, touching $100, now at $92, and sent oil volatility (OVX) to new highs.
Trump is unveiling new tariff probes under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on major trading partners. If you’re wondering, they wouldn’t need Congressional approval.
Now Morgan Stanley (MS) is limiting redemptions on a private credit fund. Probably what’s helping make bond yields rise, including Treasuries. Soaring oil sure doesn’t help, either.
Considering the flood of bad news, it’s interesting that world stock markets are only down marginally. Heavy hedging has already priced a lot in.
Housing starts and jobless claims, today.
What does it all mean? Considering all the bad news, stocks are holding up OK, perhaps due to heavy hedging.
