Bank earnings Tuesday. CPI Wednesday. Your plan comes first.
This week puts two questions in front of your portfolio: are companies protecting their profits, and is inflation easing? JPMorgan reports Tuesday; September CPI follows Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. ET. Neither result is known yet.
PrimeFlow’s finished record offers proof you can inspect today: SMCX entered August 7, 2026 at $8.65 and exited October 7 at $16.16: +86.82%. That is last week’s closed-alert price move, already covered in Saturday’s recap—not a new or typical return. Check the dated SMCX close and the full log, including losses →
The workshop and two guides: $7 once.
Before the reports start, The 40 Minutes That Matter shows how to organize the day’s shape, eight reference prices and the session clock. Keep The Level Map and The Session Clock, its two one-page guides, beside your chart.
Regularly $49. Currently $7 one time. Save $42—about 86%. Lifetime access; all sales final. No coupon needed. This is education, separate from PrimeFlow alerts; the trade-log wins were not produced by the workshop.

Wednesday and Thursday deserve your attention.
Monday, October 12: NYSE stocks trade normally; SIFMA recommends a U.S. bond-market holiday. Don’t mistake an open stock market for a normal bond session.
Wednesday, October 14, 8:30 a.m.: September CPI. Watch the core reading and the bond market’s response. At 2 p.m., the Fed’s Beige Book adds regional business observations; it is not a rate decision.
Thursday, October 15, 8:30 a.m.: September producer prices and retail sales. Read price pressure alongside spending, rather than assuming stronger sales mean healthier margins.
Friday, October 16: import/export prices at 8:30 a.m. and industrial production at 9:15 a.m. complete the week’s demand-and-cost checks.
Credit quality first. Chip demand next.
Tuesday, October 13: JPMorgan expects results around 7 a.m. ET and its call at 8:30. Look for loan-loss provisions, lending demand and the outlook for interest income.
ASML reports Wednesday, October 14; TSMC’s earnings conference is Thursday, October 15, at 2 a.m. ET. Orders, capital-spending plans and margins will help test the chip-sector growth story. These are questions for the releases, not forecasts of their answers.
ASST's documented close: +106.03%.
The public record also contains ASST: August 7, 2026, $12.93 to September 3, 2026, $26.64 (+106.03%). This selected historical winner closed more than a month ago. It is not new, typical, an account return or a workshop result.
Inspect ASST’s dates and prices alongside the losing alerts → Past performance does not predict future results. No newer closed row appeared in today’s check of the log.
Separate the report from the reaction.
Before Wednesday, mark the reference prices you will use to judge a move in the stocks you follow. After CPI, compare the first reaction with those prices and with Treasury yields. A headline can sound reassuring while the market trades the other way.
See the workshop’s price map and session clock if you want a framework for that preparation. Monday’s market brief will check the opening session ahead of the first bank results.
Review the $7 workshop and two printable guides. The regular price is $49, a $42 saving (about 86%). Lifetime access; all sales final. Optional Sanctum is separate: $1 for 14 days, then $49/month until canceled. The workshop does not renew.
