If you’ve never listened to my weekly special edition of Wall Street Unplugged: Frankly Speaking… here’s your chance. Each week, I receive more questions from WSU listeners than I can possibly cover in any one show. So every Friday, I host Frankly Speaking just for this purpose—to answer your top questions.In this week’s episode, I stress some key things to consider when making changes to your portfolio. Specifically, I recap how to think about market moves when corporate earnings are announced. And I’ll tell you how I strategically position my portfolio among long and short-term stocks. We’ll also take a long look at Tesla’s woes… and how to trade on news for this company and other momentum stocks. Lastly, we’ll talk about how to measure the current value of a stock… when everyone else is focused on market moves.
