Deep Thoughts About The Coronavirus Economic and Market Ramifications

I’m going to riff on a bunch of related deep thoughts and than summarize them all up at the end with strategy and trading ideas. (Let’s do a Google talk tomorrow (Friday) at noon for this week’s Live Q&A Chat at 12pm ET. We’re

The Difference Between Down And Up (And I’m Trimming This Spike As Planned)

Up, no, now down! Wait, up and up more. Wait down, it’s a crash. It’s another crash. Wait, it’s a big rally! Can you tell the difference between the up and down days? Well, today brings us just exactly the kind of insane bounce of 10-30% in

Don’t doubt the USA or mankind’s ability to prosper

We’re living through a crash. We might have just lived through a crash. But we might still be in the process of living through a crash. The markets hate confusion. The markets can’t discount future cash flows if nobody has any idea what future cash flows will look

Trade Alert: Prepare For Better Times

I’m glad I’m not in NYC this week. Wish I hadn’t taken my family there last week. There’s no doubt that the developed world has become Coronavirus obsessed. I would imagine a lot of this germ-phobia is going to stay with us, and that next year

Trade Alert: Don’t Panic When Everybody’s Panicking

I know that governments’ actions are almost always incompetent, so I’m not terribly surprised that the government has been totally incompetent in how it has approached the coronavirus breakout, but it is always surprising the ways in which they mess something up. In this case, wouldn’t it have

Trade Alert: Flow into the market’s ebb

Over the last five weeks, I’ve been to NYC twice and visited Austin and Las Vegas too. With the novel coronavirus still growing in the US, I’m going to stop traveling for at least the next four weeks. I got back from NYC early this morning and am

Trade Alert: Here’s the playbook

It’s another ugly open, and everybody expects the close to be even worse, since they assume nobody wants to buy before the weekend. I think people were thinking that yesterday already and that means maybe everybody who wanted to sell before the weekend already has. Good thing we aren’

Trade Alert: Getting a little longer as the market panics

Fear is palpable. Panic is in the air. Stock markets down 10% in a week. Headlines blaring fearful news. Time to nibble. Time to cover some shorts. With the DJIA down another 800 points today as I type this, I’m covering 15-20% of most of my short index hedges

What The Headlines Will Say About Coronavirus In A Month

The DJIA tried to rally and got up a full 450 points…before falling 600 points from that level and is now down 150 points as I write this. Even as I’d been so cautious and defensive and I’d warned repeatedly about how the market should not be

Trade Alert: Nibbling, covering and being cool when others panic

Well, we’d spent the last two or three weeks trimming, selling and hedging to try to prepare for the kind of sell-off the markets are now going through. I’m kicking myself for not having pulled more triggers on short ideas with China’s major trading partners, as I’

COVID 19, Stocks, Gold, Bitcoin (and Trade Alert: Trim some SPCE!)

Before we jump into the transcript from this week’s Live Q&A Chat, I’ll just mention that it’s not normal to buy a stock and have it go up 300% in three months. (TSLA) and (SPCE) are literally up 4x from their lows last year. You’

Coronavirus Ramifications and Why It’s Still a Good Time to Be Cautious

The markets today are acting like: “What coronavirus?” as the major indices bounce about 1%. Oh, and then there’s Tesla TSLA TESLA(!) up another [checks screen, rubs eyes, doubles checks screen] 20% today and up more than 250% from where we loading up on it as my favorite pick
