STARTING NOW: Gold Up Over 1.5% On This Morning’s News… See The #1 Way To Take Advantage!
Missed the earnings spike? Jack Didn’t.
Why Jack Trades When Wall Street Sleeps
The market went wild after Meta and Microsoft blew earnings out of the water.
But while most traders were watching the headlines, Jack Carter was already looking for his next move — in the after hours.
On Thursday’s Profit Panel, Jack didn’t just react to the blowout numbers. He reminded us why he loves trading the post-close chaos.
“If you guys cannot trade in the after hours, I would highly recommend you get yourself on a platform where you can.”
It’s all about spotting the overreaction and taking the other side.
Jack explained how earnings reactions often go overboard in low-liquidity sessions. And if you know what to look for, that volatility can hand you trades with a serious edge.
“You always have an overreaction to earnings… and that’s why you see it gap up, and it just can’t hold that high. [Trading after hours] is a great way to take advantage of the overreaction.”
He used an example of when a stock spikes after earnings and then pulls back sharply. Trading after hours gives you the opportunity to catch that move before prices stabilize at the next morning’s open.
Of course, Jack also flagged the risk:
“That’s the Wild West in the after hours, because there’s no market makers to stabilize prices… be careful.”
But for those who can move quickly and think independently, this is where the pros eat.
“That after hours is a huge advantage.”
Just don’t expect your broker to make it easy — not all platforms even allow it. Jack uses Schwab (which now offers 24/5 trading on some names). Kane listed off a few others: Tasty, Fidelity, Interactive Brokers. Robinhood? Not so much.
Bottom line: If you’re serious about trading — and you’re not watching the market after 4pm — you’re missing a whole other battlefield.
