Segment 4 – Joel Elconin, co-host of the PreMarket Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network, wraps up the show discussing the current “silver lining” market sentiment driven by cooling inflation, resilient earnings, and a risk-on retail trading environment. He also shares insights on institutional moves from recent 13F filings, commodity rotation, and Bitcoin’s technical levels, emphasizing how under-invested fund managers are fueling the rebound across equities and global markets.
