What to hold, what to fold in a falling rate environment
Please note that this is my only blog this week. I’m at the cottage as you read this. Beer. Bikes. Barbeque. I won’t be able to post or respond to your comments until next week. Fed-talk of lower rates, an inverting yield curve, combined with investors suddenly realizing that there is risk in the stock Read More
Ask me anything: answers!
I’d like to thank the readers for sending questions for today’s blog. Wow—great response! I’m getting the impression that there is a lot of confusion out there lately. Probably for good reason, with markets swinging around so much over the past 18 months, and the worries surrounding valuations, politics, debt and length of the Read More
Have your cake & eat it too: A new strategy for trading value stocks
Apologies for the choppy sentences in today’s blog. I copied it from another piece I had written, modified it for the blog–and it did not copy properly. I’m too lazy to figure out how to correct it. Bear with the sentence breaks…I believe you will get alot out of today’s blog. My outlook on the Read More
Contrarian picks from the master
After speaking at the MoneyShow in Orlando, I had a very nice sit down with Benj Gallandar. Benj is co-editor of Contra the Heard investment newsletter. I really like their work, and it was a real pleasure to meet with one of the true contrarian investors out there. Benj and Ben are patient. They buy Read More
The long and short of it all
Today I’d like to review the longer (macro) termed outlook via a current reading of my Bear-o-meter. I’ll re-post a chart of the S&P 500 that I’ve put up a couple of times that will point out a few potential technical targets for that index. Finally, I’d also like to review the neartermed probability targets Read More
Opportunities for mid-termed trades
Today’s blog is going to be short and sweet. Celebrate, for I shall avoid waxing eloquent, and get right to the point! Each of the 4 notations below are encapsulated in a capitalized summary sentence. Here goes: Reversals are often signalled by short-bodied candles. Short bodied candles occur when the market rises or falls Read More
Ask me anything: answers!
Last week I offered to do an “Ask me anything” blog. I received several questions, a few of which I answered right on the spot (they were not “big” enough questions to do a full write up on). But I did select 3 questions that I thought might be of interest to all. Here they Read More
James Bond. Licence to kill?
Who’s your favorite James bond actor? For me, it’s a close three way tie between Sean Connery (of course!), Pierce Bronson, and Daniel Craig. Not sure who’d I’d have to say my favorite was or is – each has merit. This summer, we get to see a new Bond movie with Daniel Craig AND Read More
Trading China’s 2 year trading range
The Shanghai has been meandering between 3000 to 3300 since early 2016. That’s two years of sideways nothingness. The index did try to break out of this range late last year, but it quickly retreated into its never-never land range as the trade talks heated up. Trump-o-nomics have been very positive for the US economy Read More
