Jim Tassoni - Momentum Trading: Riding the Melt-Up Market & Metals, How To Not Get Stuck When Markets Turn

Listen Later

In this Daily Editorial, we are joined by Jim Tassoni, CEO of Armor Wealth Strategies, for his monthly trader’s perspective. Jim is a momentum trader, and in today’s conversation he shares how he’s navigating what feels like a “buy anything” market where both risk-on and risk-off assets are moving higher.

We cover:

  • Momentum in equity markets - the S&P and NASDAQ hitting new all-time highs, and how Jim manages positions with tactical trims and adds.

  • Trading around news events - using volatility from Fed decisions, inflation, and jobs data to adjust exposure without breaking trend.

  • Sector opportunities - broadening exposure with ETFs like QQQ, RSP, and XLF; increasing interest in healthcare as a potential catch-up sector.

  • Commodity momentum - strong moves in gold, silver, platinum, and steel via ETFs (GLD, SLV, GDX, PLTM, SLX), and how Jim manages entries and trims.

  • Precious metals outlook - GDX breaking above its 2011 peak, silver pushing toward $50, and why Jim prefers to let momentum dictate exits rather than trying to call a top.

  • Market psychology - parallels to the late-1990s “buy anything” market, and why discipline and exit levels matter in case of a downturn.

    • Stock & ETF Symbols Mentioned: SPY, QQQ, RSP, XLF, GDX, GLD, SLV, PLTM, SLX, UFO
