On this episode of TheStreet Pro Podcast, Chris Versace sits down with Street Pro contributor Ed Ponsi, who is also the managing director of Barchetta Capital Management, and the president of FXEducator. The conversation starts with the beginning of Ed’s investing career and his eventual move into equity trading. The two differentiate between investing and trading, using GameStop (GME) as an example. Ed also uses GameStop shares to explain his trading game plan for the shares, using it as an example of why risk management is imperative.

The two also discuss expectations and potential outcomes for tomorrow’s Fed meeting, and Ed shares the one thing that folks need to remember when examining charts. We close out the conversation with Ed sharing some of the famous rock musicians that he and his guitar have jammed with.

On this edition of TheStreet Pro Podcast, Chris Versace is joined by the person responsible for the technical look at the Portfolio and the market, Bob Lang. Their conversation starts with the April Retail Sales and Consumer Price Index reports but then morphs into a discussion of market breadth and why the S&P 500 could reach 5,500-5,600 in the coming weeks. Bob explains how he looks at market breadth as well as shares a few of the indicators, like the McClellan Oscillator, that he closely watches.

The two tackle the Wall Street saying “Sell in May and Go Away”, discussing why that could be different this year. We also get Bob’s answers to some member questions plucked from the Forum.

On this episode, Ed Kovalik, Chairman and CEO, of Prairie Operating Co (PROP) returns to TheStreet Pro Podcast. The conversation with Chris Versace kicks off with an update on Prairie over the last few months, including its pending acquisition of Nickel Road Operating (NRO) which will put the company on the path to having 30 wells in operation by the end of 2024 and another 45 exiting 2025.

Ed also shares more on Prairie’s medium to longer-term operating plan, including how the company intends to eventually reward shareholders, and why its lack of balance sheet leverage gives it an edge. Ed also discusses the long-term demand opportunity with fossil fuels because of growing power demands due to AI, data centers, EV and EV charging, and other factors.
