SENEA flipped from Sell to Buy today with an 81/100 QuantLogix composite while the stock rose just 0.26% to $184.35. The signal is strong, but weak market breadth argues for treating it as a setup to validate, not a standalone green light.

ABVX opens the week on Sept. 21 with consensus EPS at -$1.08, followed by KEP, AIR, AZO and THO. The real test is not just whether they beat estimates, but whether reactions confirm a calm VIX and narrow market tape.

VFS reports today with consensus EPS at -$0.26, opening a calendar that brings ABVX, KEP, AIR, and AZO over the next three sessions. After the Nasdaq rose 1.69% and VIX fell 10.23%, the key is not just the print but the reaction.

CHRN and GRFS report today as the S&P 500 slips 0.48% and VIX jumps 7.95% to 17.1. This week’s prints matter less as simple beat-or-miss stories and more as tests of whether guidance can overcome a weaker tape.

Stocks enter earnings week on firmer footing: the S&P 500 rose 0.86%, the Nasdaq gained 0.96%, and the VIX fell 11.21%. KR, KMTS, FPS, TCOM and CBRL now test whether company guidance supports the rally.

The S&P 500 slipped 0.38% while Tech rose 0.70%, setting up a split tape before CASY, ORCL, GME and TTAN report on Sept. 8. The lesson: watch not only the EPS number, but what each reaction says about its sector.

Markets are not normally distributed, yet most risk budgets are built as if they were. Here is the framework for fat tails, the asymmetry of drawdown math, and how convexity — not diversification — survives a regime break.

Harvesting losses is the most reliable after-tax alpha most investors leave on the table — and the wash-sale rule is the one trap that quietly reverses it. Here is the framework for doing it cleanly.
