Buying stocks due to Fed cuts? Why that's the wrong strategy

What do a turbulent job market, surging bond yields, and a plate of Linguine Arrabiata all have in common? They’re front and center in the debut installment of Trader Talk, with host Kenny Polcari back on the New York Stock Exchange floor. As markets whipsaw on every snippet of fed commentary, Polcari cuts through the noise, reminding viewers that “sometimes, good news is bad news”—especially if you’re banking on rate cuts alone. Polcari welcomes BullseyeBrief.com Ingenuity Fund portfolio manager Adam Johnson in this week's episode. They dig into the fallout from a stronger-than-expected jobs report, why towering bond yields could stir up fresh turbulence, and which sectors might brace best against a downturn. “I’m an investor, not a trader,” Johnson tells Polcari, “I always tell my clients, ‘It’s about time in the market and not timing the market.’” For hungry investors, Polcari stirs up more than just trading tips—his Linguine Arrabiata recipe brings some culinary spice to the day’s heated market action.
