Snowflake (SNOW) has lost nearly 20% of its value in just nine trading sessions. The selloff occurred even though the company beat earnings expectations, proving once again that Wall Street is unforgiving when results are simply “good” rather than “perfect.” Earnings are a binary event, and market reactions to them are often unpredictable. But for mean-reverting traders like me, such extreme expedient reactions are a gift. These create a divergence between price and value, often leading to a snapback rally. Of course, the trick is timing. You don’t want to catch a falling knife. Suppose you want to wait for…

Eli Lilly stock was down about 0.5% this morning, while Novo Nordisk stock rose more than 8% after the company won FDA approval for its first GLP-1 weight loss drug. “(Novo) got approval faster than we thought. People panic right away. They sold Lily. Big mistake,” Jim said at a Tuesday morning meeting. Lilly’s stock decline has been exaggerated. That’s because it’s only a matter of time before the company receives U.S. regulatory approval for its oral weight-loss drug, orforglipron.…

Although the report is outdated, given that it was delayed from its original Oct. 30 announcement in the wake of the longest U.S. government shutdown in history, it was enough to make us think the Fed is unlikely to cut rates in early 2026, putting some pressure on stocks heading…
