To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Aggressive Buying</h4>
An enlarged chart of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&amp;P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>The chart shows that yesterday the stock market fell below the breakout line but recovered from the lows later in the session.</li>
<li>The chart shows the support zone.&nbsp; The support zone is a natural place to contain any stock market correction.</li>
<li>The chart shows the stock market is attempting to cross the breakout line to the upside after the release of Producer Price Index (PPI) data.</li>
<li>Inflation at the producer level came cooler than expected.&nbsp; Here are the details:
<ul>
<li>Headline PPI came at 0.2% vs. 0.3% consensus.</li>
<li>Core PPI came at 0.0% vs. 0.2% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, PPI does not paint an accurate picture of inflation in the U.S. because of the high percent of goods produced in China and China is currently experiencing deflation.</li>
<li>As Inauguration Day approaches, details of Trump's tariffs plan are emerging.&nbsp; The latest report is that Trump's team is discussing slowly increasing tariffs by 2% &#8211; 5% per month.&nbsp; The strategy is designed to reduce any potential spike in inflation while providing negotiating leverage with other countries, including China.</li>
<li>China is deciding what to do with TikTok and the looming ban in the U.S.  There is a report that Chinese officials are discussing the possibility of selling TikTok to Elon Musk, who is the CEO of social media platform X as well as the CEO of one of the Magnificent Seven stocks Tesla Inc.  TSLA stock has become an indicator of market sentiment.  TSLA stock jumped up on the TikTok news.</li>
<li>In the early trade, investors are aggressively buying stocks on excitement over PPI, Trump's tariff approach and Musk potentially buying TikTok.</li>
<li>Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be released tomorrow at 8:30am ET and may be market moving.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, prudent investors should wait for CPI before any major moves.</li>
<li>Prudent investors should note that the rally in long bonds on weaker PPI data has met with selling.&nbsp; As of this writing, the long bond has not only given up the gains; it is now negative.&nbsp; Here is the question for investors: Will the stock market pay attention to the bond market? If the stock market starts paying attention to the bond market, early gains in the stock market may reverse.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Amazon.com, Inc., Alphabet Inc Class C, NVIDIA Corp, and TSLA.
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Apple Inc and Microsoft Corp.
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Meta Platforms Inc.
In the early trade, money flows are positive in SPY and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust.  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust.  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Buying in Bitcoin spiked on cooler PPI, but the rally has met with selling.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson is running for mayor of New York City and he picked up an endorsement from Bill Ackman, one of the most recognized voices in th<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bill-ackman">e world of finance.</a>
What Happened: Tilson, who is an investor and editor at Stansberry Research, announced his run for mayor back in November, but a new video and the Ackman endorsement could bring more attention to his fight against the current mayor, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/eric-adams">Eric Adams, </a>and other candidates.
"Our great city is headed in the wrong direction," Tilson <a href="https://x.com/WhitneyTilson/status/1878814057790378175">said </a>in the video. "It's time to fight for New York's future."
The video shows images and article headlines of higher crime in the city, unsafe subways and residents hit hard with inflation. Tilson says in the video that thriving businesses are shutting down and families are leaving as they can't afford to live there, and the neighborhoods are no longer safe.
Tilson, who raised his family in New York City, expresses his confidence in the city's comeback in the video.
"I believe our best days are still ahead."
Tilson says he will represent "all New Yorkers" as mayor and help bring safety, affordability and prosperity back to the city.
"New York City is the greatest city in the world."
Ackman <a href="https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1878819267115712811">shared </a>the Tilson video and called the former hedge fund manager "the candidate to watch."
"I have known @WhitneyTilson since college. He has made a career giving back," Ackman tweeted.
Ackman said Tilson is a lifelong Democrat who is also "a smart economically rational one."
"He is pro-business, anti-waste and identity politics, and wants to make NYC great again."
Ackman said that people shouldn't want New York City to become San Francisco or Los Angeles and that Tilson can help save the city.

Why It's Important: New York City Mayor Eric Adams was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41047664/fbi-raids-nyc-mayor-eric-adams-as-sealed-indictment-nears">indicted on federal charges</a> last year and awaits a trial after pleading not guilty. Adams became the first mayor in the city&#8217;s history to be charged with federal crimes while in office.
Tilson is one of several people running in the mayoral election that will be held in November 2025. Adams is currently running for re-election, but his indictment could put another win in jeopardy.
As a former hedge fund manager and investor, Tilson is well-known to many in the finance world, but he may be less familiar with other New Yorkers. The endorsement by Ackman could help spread his platform to more people.
Tilson calls himself the only "change candidate" in the Democratic primary and also highlights that he is the only person running who isn't a career politician. Tilson also highlights his business background.
The campaign video shows Tilson's famous "60 Minutes" interview where he helped expose issues at Lumber Liquidators, a hardwood flooring company that went bankrupt in 2024.
A recent poll showed strong backing in the mayor race for former New York governor Andrew Cuomo at 32%, as reported by <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/13/poll-cuomo-dominates-nyc-mayoral-field-00197761">Politico</a>. Cuomo has not announced his running in the election. Former city comptroller Scott Stringer received 10% of the vote with Adams getting 6%. Tilson was not listed in the poll results.

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter earnings on Jan. 29. Ahead of the earnings report, Goldman Sachs shared its views on Meta&#8217;s earnings potential. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42986509/meta-platforms-announces-performance-based-job-cuts-whats-going-on">you need to know</a>. 
The Details: Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan maintained a Buy rating on Meta and raised the 12-month price target from $630 to $688 to reflect higher revenue estimates on the back of positive channel checks. 
The Goldman analyst highlighted the possibility for Meta to achieve compounded mid-teens revenue growth in the fourth quarter and sustain that momentum into 2025.
In the note, Sheridan pointed to several advertising opportunities to support his outlook, including the potential for Meta to boost advertising revenue by increasing ad load on Reels. The Goldman analyst also believes that Meta has yet to fully utilize WhatsApp and Messenger for ad revenue. 
Sheridan noted that Meta has significant untapped potential in areas such as click-to-message ads and paid messaging. The analyst also acknowledged the possibility of advertising dollars being redistributed to platforms like Meta if the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act is upheld and TikTok is banned in the U.S.
&#8220;Based on our advertising checks, Meta continues to see strong momentum in its core advertising business and should drive above-industry topline growth over the next several quarters,&#8221; Sheridan said in the note.

Additionally, the analyst sees upside potential for Meta from several long-term AI revenue opportunities, including sponsored search results within Meta AI conversations and licensing its Llama AI models for enterprise use. However, Sheridan noted that these products are early in their lifecycles, and better visibility into their development and adoption is needed before factoring them into forecasts as material revenue drivers.
&#8220;We see a path to Meta delivering toward the top end of its revenue guidance range for Q4'24 and sustained ~mid-teens % total revenue growth through 2025,&#8221; the Goldman analyst said.
Meta is due to report earnings after the market close on Jan. 29. Analysts expect the company to report earnings of $6.77 per share and revenue of about $47 billion, according to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The Los Angeles wildfires have killed at least two dozen people and destroyed thousands of homes, prompting questions of what&#8217;s to blame <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/01/42953761/santa-ana-winds-return-as-la-wildfire-damage-estimates-rise-to-at-least-250-billion-fire-officials-investigate-downed-power-lines">for the blazes</a>.
A new Emerson College poll asks Americans if climate change contributed to the wildfires and whether California Gov. Gavin Newsom has done a good job handling the disaster.
What Happened: A new Emerson College <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/january-2025-national-poll-democrats-republicans-and-independents-agree-u-s-is-on-the-wrong-track/">poll</a>, conducted Jan. 10 through Jan. 11, shows Americans are paying close attention to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/42889402/nhl-game-canceled-after-los-angeles-fires-nfl-monitoring-situation-ahead-of-monday-playoff-game"> the wildfires</a>. 
When respondents were asked how closely they are following the California wildfires news, these were the results:
<ul>
<li>Very Closely: 47.4%</li>
<li>Somewhat Closely: 39.5%</li>
<li>Not Very Closely: 9.7%</li>
<li>Not At All: 3.4%</li>
</ul>
The poll found that nearly half of Americans who responded are following the wildfire news closely, with around 87% saying they were either very closely or somewhat closely following the news.
Another question was around the potential causes of the fires.
"Do you think climate change has contributed to California's recent wildfires?&#8221; the poll asked. The results were divided by age, shown below:
<ul>
<li>Age 18-29: 74% Yes, 26% No</li>
<li>Age 30-39: 70% Yes, 31% No</li>
<li>Age 40-49: 61% Yes, 39% No</li>
<li>Age 50-59: 48% Yes, 52% No</li>
<li>Age 60-69: 49% Yes, 51% No</li>
<li>Age 70+: 53% Yes, 47% No</li>
</ul>
The poll found that in most cases the older a person was, the more likely they were to believe that climate change did not play a role in the fires.
Overall, 58% of Americans in the poll said that climate change has contributed to the wildfires and 42% said it has not.
The poll also showed a partisan split, with 85% of Democrats saying climate change contributed to the fires and 64% of Republicans saying climate change was not a factor. Independent voters were mostly split, with 54% saying climate change contributed to the wildfires.
Women were more likely to believe climate change was a contributing factor, with 64% saying yes versus 52% of men saying yes.

Newsom's Handling Of Disaster: The handling of the wildfires in California and the state's preparedness for such disasters has been a major talking point and drawn increased attention from President-elect Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
The poll asked Americans what they thought of Newsom's handling of the wildfires. These were the results:
<ul>
<li>Approve: 29.4%</li>
<li>Disapprove: 40.6%</li>
<li>Neutral: 26.7%</li>
</ul>
"The Governor's approval highlights sharp partisan divides in the perception of response: 61% of Republicans and 43% of Independents disapprove of Governor Newsom's response to the wildfires while 49% of Democrats approve," Emerson College Poll Executive Director Spencer Kimball said.
Newsom, a Democrat, was considered a potential replacement candidate in the 2024 election when President Joe Biden dropped out and is among the frontrunners in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/11/41830883/2028-election-betting-odds-where-do-j-d-vance-michelle-obama-mark-cuban-ron-desantis-kamal">betting odds for</a> the 2028 presidential election.
How Newsom handles the wildfires and his approval from Americans could be an early indicator of how he may fare in a presidential election if he chooses to run.

A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tiktok">TikTok </a>post from an Ohio woman showing several weed buds found in her daughter's Burger King order has gone viral. The user, JannaBama, says she bought her daughter&#8217;s chicken fries at a drive-thru Sunday night at the Burger King in Hamilton. Once home, she unpacked the food order and found what looked like enough weed buds for several joints.
"I went to Burger King tonight. I got my kid some chicken fries,&#8221; she began on the video. &#8220;Listen, I need you guys to listen." She then held up the small empty bag where the chicken fries were packed and turned around to show the inside. "If you look in there, you can see some residue."
