What happens if the Democrats win (or if the Republicans win), Call option recommendations and more

Here’s the transcript from this week’s Live Q&A Chat. The most telling thing from the chat was that people are wanting to buy call options and otherwise lacking fear. Be careful out there is my advice, as you’ll see often below. Q. Any thoughts or

Join me for this week’s Live Q&A Chat at 9am ET tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. We’ll have a lot to talk about since the markets have been up and down and all around over the last week since our last one. In the meantime, here’s a

Here’s an updated list of all my positions including where I’d buy more of each of them. In fact, what I’ve done is put them in order of how close they are to where I’d buy more. You’ll see that there’s several stocks that

Spy vs Spy: The put trade explained

I’ve got my hands full launching the hedge fund and that’s limited my writing time lately. That said, starting in January when the fund launches, I’ll be writing a lot more often and the analysis will be deeper and longer than ever before. I’ll be highlighting

Trade Alert: Ugh, WDC

I need to let you know what I’m going to do with our loser, WDC. Long story short, I feel completely misled by management there and I am astonished at how badly they’ve mismanaged things in just the last 90 days. You guys know I’m a long-term

ETFs, The Big One(?), Nvidia, Axogen, Under Armour and more

Markets bounced. Have to see if it sticks though. I got filled on some of the puts I was bidding on with lower strike prices than the ones we sold. Facebook reported strong earnings after hours. I’ll have much more tomorrow. Here’s the transcript from this week’s

Who’s more scared, the bulls or the bears (or the elk)?

There’s palatable fear out there finally, and unlike last week, I doubt that tomorrow’s Live Q&A Chat at 9am ET will be full of people looking for stocks to buy. In a contrarian way, that’s a bullish thing and since most near-term market turns come

Trade Alert: Taking most of the profits on the AMD puts

I’m in NYC for a plethora of meetings so this will be a brief note here this morning. AMD is down almost 50% from its high just a couple weeks ago and our puts are going to be kicking in nicely with gains today. I’ll sell about 3/

Best time to buy is when…and other topics

Here’s the transcript from this week’s Live Q&A Chat. Lots of of our subscribers looking at this sell-off as a buying opportunity. That’s good that people aren’t fearful and have been prepared for it. But contrarian-wise, that’s bad because as I note in

Facebook’s either desperate or still really hacked or both (but I’m still holding the stock)

I’m headed to NYC with my wife and 4-year-old daughter tomorrow night on a redeye flight for a series of 8 meetings and a half-day hedge fund conference. I expect I’ll get a lot of insights, ideas and analysis on the trip, so look for that next week.

Cannabis Bubble Redux, 1987 Crash, Chinese Stocks, Earnings and more

The major stock market indices are up about 3% from their recent bottoms and as usual after a post-panic bounce, I’ll remind you that if you were freaking out, losing sleep or just wishing you’d had trimmed more and raised a little cash when stocks were higher, that
