The odds of a left tail event are about 6x higher during a mid-term election year. 😳 As we enter a potential “summer swoon” seasonally weak period, but pullbacks are a buying opportunity on the way to S&P 7,700. @John_Kolovos @CMTAssociation

How do you look at the market in a structured way to answer key questions: - what’s the market doing? - probability it continues? - where’s the risk? - where’s the opportunity? - how do we adjust? @John_Kolovos walking through his process at Macro Risk Advisors @CMTAssociation

It’s not even 9 am and @DKellerCMT has already brought up the Hindenburg Omen. Learning the key differences between a mindful investor and a mindless one. Initial takeaway: If you don’t have a consistent process it’s hard to make good decisions consistently. @CMTAssociation

The @CMTAssociation Spring Summit’s second day is underway and the Boston community is in full swing. Three things the community is getting: - Expert views on the current market - New ideas, tools, processes to explore - Connections, business synergies, and friendships

Personal Update: I’m returning to my roots, officially joining @CMTAssociation as Director, Community & Content (Americas) to build, engage, and amplify our community across the Americas. For those who don’t know, I discovered Technical Analysis in my senior year of high school, and it just clicked. As I carved out my place in the finance world, CMT Association’s events and members were invaluable resources; they taught me first-hand the power of community and the organizations that support it. After 15 years as a member, I’m "flipping the script" and joining the team to help create more success stories like my own and advance the discipline even further. Member value is maximized when content and community work in sync. I’m here to ensure we are a living, breathing ecosystem by focusing on two core principles: - Amplifying the Community: We have thousands of members and candidates globally. My focus is on scaling our city-level communities and ensuring our volunteers have the systems and support they need to thrive. - Elevating the Content: Our members are already doing world-class work. My job is to leverage and package the incredible insights already being produced to drive visibility for our members and the discipline at large. CMT Association’s future is bright, and I want to thank @_TBone_Pickens and the team for welcoming me on this journey in advancing the discipline of Technical Analysis. If you are a member, volunteer, or partner in the finance space—I’m excited to hear your ideas on how we can continue to move the industry forward together. You can reach me at tom@cmtassociation.org. Or join me this month at these two community events: - Boston Spring Summit (May 14-15) - Canada Quarterly Summit in Toronto (May 26)
