Activist Investor Raises Stake in Clothing Retailer

Trade of the Day Wake-Up Watchlist

Correction: Due to a misinterpretation of our trade software data, we incorrectly stated a 36% gain on META yesterday. We were waiting on a price target and weren't in the trade at that time.

Good morning Wake-Up Watchlisters! While you're sipping coffee you'll see stock futures fell on Friday after subpar earnings from several big tech companies. Apple, Amazon and Google parent Alphabet all posted underwhelming quarterly results. More key economic data is coming this morning, as the Labor Department is scheduled to release its January jobs report.

With plenty of big movers in the stock market during earnings season, it's important to know the best strategies for predicting stock movement. Our Head Fundamental Tactician Karim Rahemtulla loves to follow insider buying (the legal kind). He bases a lot of his trades on where the big names put their money, and his Insider Matrix portfolio offered a 14% average return in 2022.
