Trading with Larry Live

After running a desk of about 500 traders, Larry Benedict says who survives has little to do with being the smartest person in the room. It comes down to temperament: taking real risk while still respecting it, trading a size you can actually sit through, and never letting one bad day tip you into revenge trading. What separates traders who last from the ones who blow up? Larry's take is discipline over raw horsepower. The ones who survive can be aggressive and a little scared at the same time, they keep their size small enough that a swing can't force them out, and they step away before a loss turns personal.

Larry Benedict says South Korea's stock market crash could be a warning sign for U.S. stocks on Trading With Larry Live. On July 28, 2026, Larry Benedict and Eric Shamilov broke down South Korea's KOSPI plunging from above 9,000 to below 6,000, a drop of more than 40% from its high. Larry also says the Fed is 100% not raising rates at this week's meeting, even as Micron's (MU) wild swings keep driving the Nasdaq around. KEY QUESTIONS Why is Larry Benedict watching South Korea's stock market crash? Larry Benedict flagged the KOSPI's single overnight drop of about 10% on July 28, 2026, calling it a preview of how fast U.S. indexes could unravel if the same kind of algorithmic selling hits Wall Street. Is the Nasdaq actually in a correction right now? Larry Benedict says yes. As of July 28, 2026, the Nasdaq is down 8.6% from its highest close, even as the S&P stays calm. Why does Larry Benedict say Micron is running the entire stock market? Micron (MU) is swinging up or down about $50 a day on razor-thin liquidity as of July 28, 2026. Larry says that one stock is moving the Nasdaq more than any other Mag Seven name. MARKET SNAPSHOT As of July 2026: Nasdaq down 8.6% from its high; KOSPI down more than 40% and trading below 6,000; WTI crude at $81.35 per barrel; 10-year Treasury yield near 4.73%, stabilizing.

Traders keep falling for the same ceasefire rally. Larry Benedict, Eric Shamilov, and Clint Brewer aren't buying it on Trading With Larry Live. On this Macro Monday, the panel sizes up Wednesday's live Fed decision, where rate-hike odds sit near 34% and two hikes are now priced for September and December. They also weigh oil's sharp pullback after another Middle East ceasefire, Google's earnings, and NVIDIA's roughly $750 billion AI financing round ahead of a heavy hyperscaler earnings week. KEY QUESTIONS Why doesn't the panel trust the latest ceasefire rally? They have watched the same script play out over and over, a ceasefire followed by a few quiet days and then a breakdown, so for the tenth time they doubt the peace holds; Larry warns oil is being used as a political tool, and Clint says the time to buy oil was the night before, not on the gap down from the high $80s per barrel. Why does Larry Benedict think the Fed could surprise with a rate hike? Larry is officially in the "camp of no" for the July 29, 2026 meeting, but he suspects new chair Kevin Warsh wants to catch the market off guard, and the only real surprise left is a hike, with markets pricing roughly a 34% chance. Why are traders calling the AI trade a "circular reference"? The panel notes Google's July 2026 EPS was flattered by mark-ups on its SpaceX and Anthropic stakes, while NVIDIA's roughly $750 billion financing round has money cycling between the same AI names, raising the question of whether real value is being created. MARKET SNAPSHOT As of July 2026: Fed rate-hike odds ~34% for the July 29 meeting; Fed funds target 3.50%-3.75%; 30-year Treasury yield poking above 5.00%; oil in the high $80s per barrel after opening near $90; NASDAQ down roughly 9%-10% from its early-June high.

Wall Street is turning on AI spending, analyst Clint Brewer warns on Trading With Larry Live, after Alphabet and Tesla earnings got punished. In the July 23, 2026 pre-market show, Clint Brewer flies solo while Larry Benedict and Eric Shamilov are out. He walks through the momentum unwind dragging chip stocks off their June peaks, what hyperscaler capital plans mean for the tape, and why traders now price two rate hikes this year despite last week's soft CPI report. KEY QUESTIONS Why did Alphabet and Tesla stocks fall after earnings? Clint Brewer says investors are now punishing AI capital spending: Alphabet lifted its CapEx guide to as much as $205 billion and posted its first negative free cash flow quarter in at least two decades, while Elon Musk said Tesla is spending as fast as it can. Why is the two-year Treasury yield important right now? Clint Brewer calls it the most important chart in the market right now: in July 2026 the two-year broke to a new high near 4.3%, well above the 3.50%–3.75% Fed funds target — a sign rates may head higher, not lower. Will the Fed raise rates in 2026? Per the CME FedWatch odds Clint Brewer cited on July 23, 2026, markets price about a 38% chance of a hike at next week's meeting and roughly 80% by September — with two hikes now expected before year-end, up from one a week earlier. MARKET SNAPSHOT As of July 2026: WTI crude above $90 per barrel; Alphabet down about 5% and Tesla down about 7% to 8% pre-market; many semiconductor stocks down more than 20% from June peaks.

Real stops separate traders who survive a headline-driven market from those who blow up, Larry Benedict warns on Trading With Larry Live. In the July 22, 2026, pre-market show, a fake Trump tweet knocks the Nasdaq down in seconds. That is proof, Larry Benedict argues to co-host Eric Shamilov, of a market that punishes loose risk control. The two also debate why the AI trade has gone quiet against rising oil and bond yields. And they ask whether Micron's two-year run from $100 to $900 is momentum or gambling. KEY QUESTIONS How does Larry Benedict avoid getting stopped out by fake news? A fake tweet knocked the Nasdaq down about 80 points in July 2026, and Larry's defense is sizing: keep positions small enough to sit through headline blips. But always keep real stops working in the market, so a genuine shock cannot blow up the account. Why has the AI trade gone quiet? Larry Benedict says that as of July 2026 he hears no new deal announcements from OpenAI, Anthropic, or the other AI leaders. He points to Meta selling and renting out surplus data-center equipment — a warning sign the build-out ran ahead of demand. What makes a great trader according to Larry Benedict? Speaking in July 2026, Larry says the best of the roughly 500 traders he managed shared controlled aggression — often former athletes, smart but not too smart. The best are cautious in everyday life yet fully confident taking calculated risk. MARKET SNAPSHOT As of July 2026: oil $87 per barrel; 10-year Treasury yield 4.64%; Nasdaq futures down about 1% pre-market after rising 1.8% the prior session; VIX near the low end of its recent range.
