Stock Market Today: A 10-year note auction which showed a yield over 5.3% gave some near-term relief to investors concerned with the course of rates and the TLT's charge lower.

What do the auction results mean for traders and investors and how to get ahead of this potential catalyst? The guys will break the info down, give some great education and maybe even a trading idea or two.

UPDATE: The TLT has given up Wednesday's gains and mark a new low. This is getting serious, traders...

Stock Market Today: What concern with rates and the TLT? What concern about oil and inflation? What concern about the Fed's interest rate path moving forward?

Stocks seem to be shrugging all of these off as the innovation and disruption AI has already caused and will continue to cause seems to be dead set on taking equities higher.

Stock Market Today: The PreMarket Prep guys get fired up for another wonderful week on Wall Street - "just another week for you and me in paradise," that's what that guy who was in Genesis sang, right?

We'll check in to see how Triple D's weekend trades went. He was desperately trying to buy GameStop (GME) all after-hours Friday but the stock was bid up too much just after the close.

Of course: around 5 p.m. EDT - as warned about by Stock Trader Network's very-own patron saint, San Miguel - Ryan Cohen dropped yet another insider purchase filing, this time to the tune of $17 million.

Cohen has now purchased more than $70 million in stock in just the last month.

One more time: Ryan Cohen has used his own money to purchase $74.5 million in GameStop company stock since September 10th...

The implications will be considered...

The guys will also preview NIKE's (NKE) earnings, expected out after the close Thursday. Although a lackluster stock for quite some time, do traders and investors still use an apparel name like NIKE as some kind of gauge of the health of the global consumer...?
