Stocks don’t go up every day
So, if they’re pulling back, let them.
The biggest, most common mistake I see among traders is not listening to the market, giving back their hard-earned profits. (Take it from me — been there, done that.)
You don’t have to trade every day.
Do less when the market is pulling back. Let some strength return before you buy. Wait for setups, traction, and evidence of strength.
Smart money waits to buy until after the market has digested.
This offers the best risk–reward on new positions.
When my portfolio is cranking, I’m cranking. When it slows down, I slow down. There’s no better indicator.
But it only works if you’re listening to the market.
The Smart Stocks Newsletter helps you stay in sync with the market.
My goal is to help you improve your swing trading skills and market awareness through this 5x weekly newsletter.
Every night, I cover:
A review of the market action that day
How to handle the next trading day
Sectors/themes leading the market
Upcoming earnings to watch
Risk management strategies
Actionable trade ideas
Portfolio insights
And more!
Each newsletter is designed to enhance your skills and elevate your trading game.
This isn’t just a stock-picking newsletter — I want you to understand the psychology behind successful trading, advanced risk management strategies, and how to develop your own processes and routine.
Plus, every newsletter includes a video run-through of my nightly report, where I analyse the charts and discuss my strategies in more detail to help you take things to the next level. (Here’s an example newsletter.)
And as a bonus, I do monthly Q&As (recorded live sessions) for paid subscribers, plus share free educational material, including an A–Z overview of my trading system.
About me
I’m Francesco (@FranVezz), a swing trader of US equities and crypto for 6 years, and passionate about providing real, no-BS material that teaches you to successfully navigate the market.
When you start your journey as a trader, it’s a scary, overwhelming world. There are hundreds of inputs, and everywhere you look, there’s noise.
I was lucky to have an amazing mentor, and hope that through The Smart Stocks Newsletter, I can be that type of figure for you.
I started this newsletter in December 2023, after a friend encouraged me.
Plus, I love the research and preparation aspects of trading, and the routine and consistency they require, so a newsletter felt right.
Now, over a year into this routine, I still really enjoy sharing my thoughts on the market and trade ideas. But I also want you to learn:
A sound process
To control, and work with, your emotions
Above all, discipline — the most important ingredient
I made every trading mistake in the book, and constantly got beaten down…
…until I suffered enough pain to finally take the lessons on board.
Through Smart Stocks, I hope to help you avoid my mistakes and shorten your learning curve.
