Good MorningEquities are poised to rise following the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. He signed dozens of executive orders on his first day in office, expected to ease regulatory headwinds for business and spur economic activity. S&P 500 futures advanced about a half percent on the news and were indicated to open at a one-month high.
With earnings season off to a good start and President Trump in office, the S&P 500 will likely rise for the remainder of the week. The question is if new highs will be set, and the answer is "probably." Earnings growth is expected to remain strong this year and accelerate as the year progresses. The critical detail is that the margin remains strong for the S&P 500 and drives robust cash flow and capital returns, the number one reason to own stocks.

Chaikin has identified specific stocks he believes investors should sell before they fall further - and the names may surprise you. He's also pinpointing a company tapped as Nvidia's self-driving partner and a potential AI megadeal that could split into three high-growth stocks.
