Markets slightly down as new earnings season approaches

Welcome back to the DPP Debrief! Let's remind you real quick what we do here: Every morning, in the DPP Digest, we give you the overview of what you need to know about the market that day. Then, when trading closes, we breakdown what happened. Sound good? Great! Then you're in the right spot. Today, the markets ended slightly down, but it's nothing to be too concerned about. With earnings coming back around, though, our Markay Latimer has some advice on what you should do with open positions. We'll get to that in a bit! Rob Booker is recovering from the Echo Trades revolution, but he's also hard at work on his next project: the April edition of his favorite newsletter. Each month, Rob shares his boldest predictions to a small subset of his audience, and he's really upset that you're not on the list. So he wants to change that by granting temporary access to the March newsletter to everyone on April 1 at 1:00 PM EASTERN. It's not an April Fool's Day prank. It's real life!

Chipotle is celebrating national burrito day on Thursday a little differently this year, by inviting customers to play a game called "Burritos or bitcoin." The rules are a little confusing, but if you win, you could potentially walk away with $25k in bitcoin.

There is always a lot to talk about as a new earnings season begins. Analysts are beginning to plan for what earnings may bring, planning the calendars, all that fun stuff. But before we really get deep in the thick of things, there's one piece of advice I always give traders as earnings come around: Clear the deck! Don't sit in positions on stocks that are about to report earnings, unless you are planning to hold them really long term. So if you bought five shares of Apple and you plan to give it to your kids when they graduate high school, great! Hold it forever! But if you're trying to trade something like Qualcomm on the bounce (that's just a random example, not based on anything I'm doing right now), then you need to be sure to get out of that position when earnings come around. Of course, the temptation is always to stick around and hope for a big boost from the earnings call. But to me, the risk of a big loss is too great. So I always clear my positions before earnings calls. Leveraged trading in foreign currency or off-exchange products on margin carries significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
