To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Walk Back From The Brink</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/stock-market-chart-analysis-trump-walks-back-tesla-earnings-tlt-mc-04232025">click here </a>for an enlarged chart of iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>&nbsp;The chart shows that TLT was staying below zone 3.</li>
<li>The chart shows the recent rally in bonds after President Trump paused reciprocal tariffs failed.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the rally did not even reach the top band of zone 3 before failing.&nbsp; This indicated high stress in the bond market.</li>
<li>The chart shows that bonds were back in the danger zone ahead of the all important $70B 5 year Treasury auction today.</li>
<li>In our analysis, without President Trump walking back from the brink, there was real danger for the auction today to go poorly and push bonds into zone 4 shown on the chart.</li>
<li>As a member of The Arora Report, you have been ahead of the curve as you knew that the bond market was President Trump's pain point.</li>
<li>President Trump walked back from the brink:
<ul>
<li>President Trump said he did not intend to fire Fed Chair Powell.</li>
<li>President Trump said soothing things about China.</li>
<li>Earlier in the day yesterday, Bessent had laid the groundwork, indicating that the situation with China should de-escalate over time.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Immediately after President Trump's comment about not firing Powell, extremely aggressive buying came in the markets.
<ul>
<li>Stocks sharply rose in the after hours.</li>
<li>Bonds rose.</li>
<li>Oil rose.</li>
<li>Dollar rose.</li>
<li>Yen fell.</li>
<li>Gold fell.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The reason the yen and gold fell was because after President Trump's walk back, there is less need for safe havens.</li>
<li>Earlier in the afternoon, prior to President Trump's walk back, as full disclosure, We had given signals to take partial profits on gold ETF SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), iShares Silver Trust (SLV), Newmont Corporation (NEM).  With the benefit of hindsight, these calls now seem prescient, but only time will tell how good these calls were.</li>
<li>Tesla Inc (TSLA) stock is very popular among retail investors.  Moves in TSLA stock impact sentiment.  After hours, Tesla reported dismal earnings &#8211; the worst in a long time.  Aggressive buying came into TSLA stock when CEO Elon Musk said he would be spending less time on DOGE and more time on his businesses.  This comment from Musk energized Tesla bulls and added to the positive sentiment in the stock market that had started minutes earlier from President Trump's statement.</li>
<li>Adding to the positive sentiment is that India may consider zero tariffs on Harley-Davidson Inc (HOG) bikes.  Musk is also thinking of expanding into India.</li>
<li>There was considerable Fed speak yesterday.&nbsp; Normally, we would have shared with you the important points from the Fed speak in this morning's Capsule.&nbsp; However, President Trump's comments have rendered the Fed speak meaningless.</li>
<li>Investors should pay careful attention to the results of the Treasury auction today.</li>
<li>The Fed's Beige Book will be released today at 2pm ET.</li>
<li>A 20% staff cut at a big company is draconian.  Yet, this is exactly what the new CEO at Intel Corp (INTC) is doing.  Investors love layoffs.  Unfazed by the misery of those who are laid off, investors are cold hearted.  Investors believe the bigger the layoff the better.   Money is flowing into INTC stock on the news.</li>
<li>Adding to the positive sentiment are good earnings from Boeing Co (BA), AT&amp;T Inc (T), GE Vernova Inc (GEV), Boston Scientific Corp (BSX), and SAP SE (SAP).</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Apple Inc (AAPL), Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Meta Platforms Inc (META), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), and TSLA.
In the early trade, money flows are positive in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<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.&nbsp; Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.&nbsp; The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (ASCA:USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is seeing aggressive buying.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Arora Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  our proprietary 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.

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>) shares are trading higher on Wednesday following the company&#8217;s stronger-than-expected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.gevernova.com/sites/default/files/gev_webcast_pressrelease_04232025.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter 2025</a> results.
The company reported revenue growth of 11% year-over-year to $8.03 billion and +15% organically, beating the consensus of $7.54 billion.
GE Vernova reported orders totaling $10.2 billion, reflecting an 8% YoY organic growth.
This increase was primarily driven by a 16% rise in service orders and a significant 43% surge in Power equipment orders.
Earnings per share for the quarter were 91 cents, compared to a loss per share of 47 cents, which beat <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of 53 cents</a>.

Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 310 bps to 5.7% and by 170 bps to 5.4% on an organic basis, with Adjusted EBITDA of $457 million (+141.8% YoY).
Power Segment: Revenue was $4.423 billion (+10% YoY), and Orders reached $6.247 billion (+24% YoY), driven by Gas Power equipment and services. Segment EBITDA reached $508 million, and margins were up 290 bps to 11.5%.
Wind Segment: Orders decreased 43% to $0.6 billion, mainly due to lower Onshore Wind equipment in the U.S. Revenues rose 13% to $1.8 billion, driven by higher Onshore Wind deliveries and pricing, despite continued losses in the Offshore Wind segment. Segment EBITDA was $(0.1) billion, improving by 270 bps.
Electrification Segment: Orders totaled $3.4 billion, down 3% organically, due to a large HVDC order in Q1 2024. Revenues increased 14%, or 18% organically, to $1.9 billion, driven by growth in Grid Solutions. Segment EBITDA was $0.2 billion, with an 11.4% margin, up 740 bps.
Operating cash flow for the quarter totaled $1.16 billion, and free cash flow was $975 million. At the end of the quarter, the cash balance was $8.1 billion.
&#8220;We generated positive free cash flow in the first quarter, a milestone for the GE Vernova businesses, reflecting strong down payments and working capital management resulting in further improvement in linearity,&#8221; said GE Vernova CFO Ken Parks.
2025 Guidance: GE Vernova reaffirms its 2025 financial outlook, projecting revenue of $36-$37 billion versus the consensus of $37.73 billion, a high-single-digit adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow of $2.0-$2.5 billion.
Segment guidance includes:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Power: Mid-single digit organic revenue growth and 13%-14% segment EBITDA margin.</li>
<li>Wind: Mid-single digit decline in organic revenue and $200-$400 million in segment EBITDA losses.</li>
<li>Electrification: Mid-to-high-teens organic revenue growth and 11%-13% segment EBITDA margin.</li>
</ul>
The company stated that this guidance accounts for tariffs and inflation, estimated at $300-$400 million, net of mitigating actions.
Price Action: GEV shares traded higher by 4.93% at $342.15 at the last check on Wednesday.

GE Vernova Can Mitigate Tariff And Inflation Concerns After Strong Q1, Sticks To Annual Outlook

AT&amp;T Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) reported strong first-quarter results and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44947739/att-adds-324-thousand-postpaid-subscribers-in-q1-outpaces-verizons-289-thousand-loss">announced a share buyback program</a>.
Stock reaction remains subdued, as investors focus on competition in the wireless market and await projections of the impact of tariffs, according to Goldman Sachs.
The AT&amp;T Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5805f8a2846faa000106ab15/james-schneider">Analyst James Schneider</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $31.
The AT&amp;T Thesis: The company reported revenues of $30.6 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $11.5 billion, beating consensus estimates of $30.3 billion and $11.32 billion, respectively, Schneider said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
AT&amp;T's postpaid phone net adds came in at 324,000, significantly above Street expectations of 253,000, the analyst stated. He added, however, that postpaid phone churn was elevated during the quarter.
Taking into consideration the postpaid phone net adds of AT&amp;T and rival Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>), the trend represents a significant slowdown in the overall wireless market, Schneider said.
Verizon had indicated that it expects the impact of tariffs on its business to be minimal and that it plans to transfer the cost to consumers, the analyst stated. "We also expect AT&amp;T management to provide an update on the health of the consumer as well as enterprise spending," he further wrote.
T Price Action: Shares of AT&amp;T had risen by 0.46% to $27.08 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
