Quiet sort of day - taking a pause from the 3.6% gain in the last three days on the ASX 200. A few stock observations today and a look at the plain vanilla themes running through the market. With not much going on today I have answered an email about trading courses and tell you "The Truth about Stock Market Education". It was also inspired by my failed attempts to cancel a  subscription to some stock market software. Enjoy.

The bull market continues - up 100 points on the ASX 200 yesterday and another 50 today. There's a bit of a dip in the iron ore price holding back the major resources but otherwise the Australian results season has started well with AMC up 6% on results today and in the US Alphabet is up 6% on results and Amazon 1%.  We have been worrying about results from the recovery stocks we hold after the WOR downgrade this week but are going to leave it with the market running like this. We'll take what comes in the recovery stocks. Maybe the market will see through to the other side which is where our focus is. The Short Squeeze is unwinding. The RBA have our backs. Its a good day for Marcus today Members and their portfolios.

A good day in the market today with pandemic-beneficiaries including online retail, motor stocks, BNPL and technology stocks making up for lost time after the wobble last week. We worry about the results season today and wonder if we are taking too much risk holding the recovery stocks, AKA "the pandemic victims" ahead of results which could be reporting on the worst six months in years. We also talk about the short squeeze fiasco which has spread into silver with #silversqueeze trending on Twitter.  Whilst we rubbish them, some of those little traders in the US are now sitting on millions. They always raise up the winners to get you into the casino. No mention of the losers. Not much on the technical front to go on today. The quiet bull market continues for now. 

Catch up with all the action today from the Marcus Today Team as the market makes a big reversal closing up 56 on strong volume after a stunning turnaround. Silver now in Reddits sights.
