Stock traders and golfers almost universally have one trait in common: they are always on the hunt for a pro tip that will help them improve their game or investment portfolios. Former TD Ameritrade CEO Joe Moglia would certainly qualify as a "pro" when it comes to stock trading. During a recent appearance on CNBC's Fast Money, Moglia offered his opinion on strategies to help traders play the market in 2025.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to <a href="https://arrivedhomes.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=15&amp;aff_id=1006&amp;aff_sub=yahoo&amp;aff_sub2=byerscta100">become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100 for properties like the Byer House from Stranger Things.</a></li>
<li>Unlock the hidden potential of commercial real estate —<a href="https://equitymultiple.com/benzinga?invite=benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=product-promotion-earn&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_content=unlockboost-yahoo"> This platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</a></li>
</ul>
Perhaps the most striking aspect of Moglia's interview was his admission that he's "the most bullish on the market that he's been in 10 years," which should encourage investors. When the hosts asked him why he felt this way, Moglia quickly said, "The president, we've got someone in there who is pro-business, pro-markets." He also noted how President-Elect Trump has warmed up to Cryptocurrency, a change from several years ago.
The host noted that Moglia manages his portfolio and that more than half of it in "growth stuff, including Crypto,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42696614/cathie-wood-takes-profit-on-hot-ai-stock-palantir-again-continues-to-sell-block-shares-amid-bitcoin-buzz"> Cathie Wood</a> kind of stuff, tech stocks" before asking him, "How does that align with the retail trader?" Joe responded, "I think today, if you're an individual trader, I don't know how you expect to have good performance if you're not involved with technology (stocks)."
See Also: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-y2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
He also suggested several potential starting points for retail traders when he said, "The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41756882/magnificent-7-basket-notches-over-200-gain-since-bidens-election-how-did-tech-giants-perform-und"> Magnificent Seven</a> is a good place to be" and suggested tracking Cathie Wood's trades in this sector. Moglia also detailed how he, much like the President-Elect, has evolved his views on cryptocurrency and is now very much in favor of it being part of retail investor portfolios.
He expanded that by saying, "You've got the crypto play, which I think five years ago or two years ago, that may have been overly aggressive, but I think you have to be involved now." Although Moglia's ideal portfolio holdings have changed from 10 years ago, he remains a proponent of the "barbell method," where the portfolio is equally balanced on each side with risk and growth, with long-term holdings in between for balance.&nbsp;
Trending: Wondering if your investments can get you to a $5,000,000 nest egg?

Moglia also explained how that barbell may be differently weighted and affected by factors such as the investor's age, goals and risk tolerance. The hosts asked him to compare today's retail investor with the retail investor of 10 years ago. Moglia responded that today's investors have better financial literacy and access to more information than they did 10 years ago. He also believes today's investors are more aggressive.
Moglia made another salient point when he stressed that losing money in a bull market is still possible. Although Moglia believes in the Magnificent Seven and cryptocurrency, he stressed the importance of retail investors planning their investment strategy and staying on top of their portfolios. Moglia quipped, "Lots of families spend more time planning vacations than they do their investment portfolios."&nbsp;

Meta Platforms shares are trading higher after JMP Securities raised its price target on the stock from $660 to $750.

In the current market session, Beacon Roofing Supply Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BECN#NASDAQ">BECN</a>) share price is at $102.70, after a 1.10% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 10.91%, but in the past year, went up by 16.78%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1735837209_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Beacon Roofing Supply P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Beacon Roofing Supply has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 93.58 of the Trading Companies &amp; Distributors industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1735837209_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Major indexes are higher, with chip stocks rising to begin 2025.

Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) closed 2024 with a bang, delivering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42758569">record-breaking 31,138 vehicles</a> in December — a staggering 72.9% year-over-year jump. 
Quarterly deliveries hit an all-time high of 72,689, while annual deliveries climbed to 221,970, marking a 38.7% surge from the previous year.
Yet, Nio stock&#8217;s technicals paint a less rosy picture.

Nio stock recently formed a dreaded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/death-cross">Death Cross</a> — a bearish technical signal where the 50-day moving average dips below the 200-day moving average. Despite posting a 7.57% gain during the early hours of trading on Thursday and a 6.59% increase over the past month, NIO stock&#8217;s overall trend remains bleak.
Trading at $4.62, the stock lags behind its medium- and long-term moving averages, signaling persistent selling pressure.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Tale Of Two Trends</h2>
While delivery numbers suggest growth, technical indicators tell a different story. Nio's Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 50.32, signaling mild bearish momentum, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator of a negative 0.1 leans bearish. 
These technical signs raise concerns about whether the stock can sustain its recent upward movement or faces further declines.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h2>
Nio&#8217;s ambitious plans, including the launch of its executive ET9 model and the Firefly brand in early 2025, aim to fuel long-term growth. 
However, with Nio stock down 44.3% over the past year, investors are looking for a decisive break above key resistance levels to regain confidence.
The Death Cross may signal caution for now, but with delivery momentum and product innovation on its side, Nio could surprise skeptics. For now, the market awaits confirmation of whether bulls or bears will dominate the road ahead.

Nio Death Cross Shadows Record Deliveries: Can Bulls Reclaim The Wheel?

Short seller Hindenburg Research is betting against Carvana Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>) with the stock up more than 300% over the past year. Despite the bearish report, shares are moving higher on Thursday. Here&#8217;s a look at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/short-sellers">what you need to know</a>.
What To Know: Hindenburg announced a short position against used car retailer Carvana on Thursday in a <a href="https://hindenburgresearch.com/carvana/">report</a> titled, &#8220;Carvana: A Father-Son Accounting Grift For The Ages.&#8221;
The short seller noted that Carvana shares have soared over the past year on hopes that the worst is behind the company after the car seller battled bankruptcy risks in 2022 and 2023.
&#8220;However, our research, including extensive document review and 49 interviews with industry experts, former Carvana employees, competitors and related parties of the company, undertaken over the course of 4 months, shows Carvana's turnaround is a mirage,&#8221; Hindenburg alleged.
Benzinga has reached out to Carvana for comment on the report.

<a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/cvna">Carvana shares</a> fell about 5% when the report was released, but quickly bounced back. The stock was up more than 3% at last check, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Hindenburg claimed its research uncovered &#8220;accounting manipulation and lax underwriting&#8221; that have &#8220;fueled temporary reported income growth.&#8221; The short seller said it also found $800 million in loan sales to a &#8220;suspected undisclosed related party.&#8221;
Hindenburg went on to highlight recent insider selling, suggesting the company&#8217;s share price is inflated. All findings aside, the short seller believes the stock is &#8220;exorbitantly valued,&#8221; trading with a 845% higher sales multiple than competitors CarMax and AutoNation, and a 754% higher forward earnings multiple. Carvana currently has a forward price-to-earnings multiple of approximately 101, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
CVNA Price Action: Carvana shares were up 3.37% at $210.20 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
