Markets are near all-time highs, and those who have missed the boat may be feeling a little bit of FOMO. While tech stocks have led the way for most of the year, it could be time for a change. John Gagliardi, Regional Brokerage Consultant at Fidelity, joined us to discuss strategies for dealing with the fear of missing out on the rally.
Tech stocks are the best performing names of the year, but the recent downturn in the group may be signaling a rotation into other sectors. Gagliardi keys in on Alcoa, a big time materials company that often kicks off earnings season. He uses technical analysis to express whether investors may have missed out on the stock’s massive jump higher. The stock’s 20% pull back could give investors another shot.
Gagliardi explains how to use technical patterns to make rational investment decisions. He uses a Fidelity tool to pinpoint the optimal times to get into a stock. He adds that by buying at several price points, it can help reduce investment risk and give an investor the chance to bring their average cost.

A big-screen adaptation of the anime “Chainsaw Man” has topped the North American box office, beating a Springsteen biopic and “Black Phone 2.” The movie earned $17.25 million in the U.S. and Canada this weekend. “Black Phone 2” fell to second place with $13 million. Two new releases, the rom-com “Regretting You” and “Springsteen — Deliver Me From Nowhere,” earned $12.85 million and $9.1 million, respectively. “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc” is based on the manga series about a demon hunter. It's another win for Sony-owned Crunchyroll, which also released a “Demon Slayer” film last month that debuted to a record $70 million.
The Federal Aviation Administration says flights departing for Los Angeles International Airport were halted briefly due to a staffing shortage at a Southern California air traffic facility. The FAA issued a temporary ground stop at one of the world’s busiest airports on Sunday morning soon after U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy predicted that travelers would see more flights delayed as the nation’s air traffic controllers work without pay during the federal government shutdown. The hold on planes taking off for LAX lasted an hour and 45 minutes and didn't appear to cause continued problems. The FAA said staffing shortages also delayed planes headed to Washington, Chicago and Newark, New Jersey on Sunday.
