Jim Tassoni - Momentum Trading: Riding the Melt-Up Market & Metals, How To Not Get Stuck When Markets Turn
In this Daily Editorial, we are joined by Jim Tassoni, CEO of Armor Wealth Strategies, for his monthly trader’s perspective. Jim is a momentum trader, and in today’s conversation he shares how he’s navigating what feels like a “buy anything” market where both risk-on and risk-off assets are moving higher.
We cover:
- Momentum in equity markets - the S&P and NASDAQ hitting new all-time highs, and how Jim manages positions with tactical trims and adds.
- Trading around news events - using volatility from Fed decisions, inflation, and jobs data to adjust exposure without breaking trend.
- Sector opportunities - broadening exposure with ETFs like QQQ, RSP, and XLF; increasing interest in healthcare as a potential catch-up sector.
- Commodity momentum - strong moves in gold, silver, platinum, and steel via ETFs (GLD, SLV, GDX, PLTM, SLX), and how Jim manages entries and trims.
- Precious metals outlook - GDX breaking above its 2011 peak, silver pushing toward $50, and why Jim prefers to let momentum dictate exits rather than trying to call a top.
- Market psychology - parallels to the late-1990s “buy anything” market, and why discipline and exit levels matter in case of a downturn.
