Today we will be covering...
Today, we will review META, as the last one in the Magnificent 7 Series.
What was dominating the news:
Trump threatened Canada with 100% tariff if PM Mark Carney finalizes a deal with China. “Governor” Carney caved again.
Potential US Government shutdown on 30 January.
The Trump administration (via CMS) proposed raising Medicare Advantage reimbursement rates by only ~0.09% (essentially flat/virtually unchanged vs. expectations for bigger increases).
UnitedHealth issued softer-than-expected 2026 revenue guidance alongside Q4 results that met estimates.
This sparked a broader healthcare sell-off: Humana dropped >20%, CVS Health shed ~10–14%, reflecting investor concerns over policy headwinds for private Medicare plans.
META Cycles
Meta Platforms (#META) will report earnings after market close.
Key to watch: AI infrastructure spending, ad revenue, and capex guidance amid high expectations for returns on AI investments.
Could earnings support a spike higher?
The chart below shows the cycle composite of the two dominant cycles on the weekly chart.

Potential USD opportunity after the FOMC Meeting?

What’s Next for the Stock Market?
DJI fell 0.83% while SPX gained 0.41, helped by a strength in techs ahead of META, MSFT, and TSLA earnings releases.
DJI weakness was at least in part due to a 20% drop in UNH stock; maybe a time to revisit UNH.
A combination of the FED Day and earnings releases from the three Magnificent 7 stocks may produce some fireworks in the market on Wednesday and Thursday; be aware of potential whipsaws.
Recently, stocks have been sold both after earnings beats and misses. . .
