Band of Traders - Together We Trade

In the last regular episode of 2021, the guys in the China Shop discuss the latest hawkish move by the Fed, express disappointment with congress's lack of action in MJ reform and their unsurprising unity in violating rules to prevent insider trading. In Stocks and Trading, Kraft makes a savvy PR move, JPM gets fined by the SEC and JNJ's covid vaccine falls out of favor with the CDC. We also look at the charts for HPQ, ROKU and Z. The Crypto Corner research team draw a blank, so the guys instead pull up the chart for Ethereum for some more TA. It's the last chance to make a pick for The Bet, so it's time to pull those stop losses and go for broke!If you like our show, please let us know by rating and subscribing on your platform of choice!Should you like our show and hate social media, then please tell all your friends!If you have no friends and hate social media and you just want to give us money for advertising and help you find more friends, then you can donate here!SponsorshipsOur podcast is also sponsored by Sue Pullen at Fairway Independent Mortgage (MLS# 206048).
