Quantitative traders HATE him! This CFA’s bizarre trick for picking his next trade

In this week's episode of Let Me Explain, Chris Vecchio, CFA, delves into how the fluctuating inflation landscape could signal a potential trade in bonds. Intriguingly, his fundamental analysis and Tom's Sosnoff's quantitative trading approach clashed but still agreed on what might be one of today's most lucrative trades.

1. Bonds tend to bottom prior to the final rate hike in every Federal Reserve hike cycle, making it a potentially good time to shift allocation into bonds.
2. Used car prices have been a significant component of inflation in the past year, but recent data shows a significant drop, indicating a deflationary impulse.
3. The market may treat a 2% inflation reading as a signal to stop, although the Fed may continue with plans for rate hikes.

2. Spread trading is recommended for trading large cap stocks with less capital. Selling a put spread can be a more affordable alternative to buying shares.
3. Beginner traders with small portfolios may want to consider low-priced products, naked options (selling puts), and indexes due to higher probability and ease of understanding.
