EASING does not seem to be disappearing. Must mean stocks are going higher.
Greed has no Limits.
Rick is a breath of fresh air in a world of bullshitters.
His evaluation of the stinking intervention is right on!
I would have to agree
Rick is ace.
Rick is a sharp guy, and I like that he has his own thoughts and often a unique voice in the investing wilderness. He is very accurate using his hidden pivot method for short-term trading as well.
Canopy Growth Corporation. It’s alive!
Yes…true…the “Lunatic Stocks” are going down a bit. And so…the value of my portfolio is going up a bit. Personally, I think there is no way that NETFLIX or TESLA will be able to defend their competitive advantages and their valuations and debt are just too high. So, I put some money into short options there. Shorting the broad indices hasn’t helped much so far… Good Luck!!! Keep it up!!!
Good thoughts Nic. Some of the high flyers have valuations that are a bit “lunatic” and it is unlikely they’ll be able to hang on to their current valuations on a longer term horizon. However, many fund managers pour into them, because they have to put other people’s money into something and they follow the herd.
As for the general indexes, Chris Temple has made the point for the last few months that there is a great deal of sector rotation going on, so money is leaving one stock and moving into the undervalued stocks. There are still good growth stories or flavors of the month like the recent moves in Weight Watchers in October (with Oprah’s help, although it pulled back hard today) or look at the last few months in Boeing. So the general indexes haven’t had a big move yet and have trended sideways most of the year due to this internal distribution.
Having said that, there are many indications that general markets are shaky ground like the advance/decline ration Rick A. has mentioned several times since April 2015. Also, Avi Gilburt just mentioned he feels we could be on the cusp of the bear market if the S&P can’t regain ground above 2070 soon. This seems to coincide with Doc’s views and my own. Ironically, he also kept the door open for potential blow off top to 2400 though if the general markets do kick it in again, which would match Gary’s thesis. It will be interesting to see what plays out the end of this week and moving into next week for if there is any juice left, or if the bear is waking up in the general market indexes.
Good luck to you in your trading!
Thanks man!!! Forgot about the sector rotation. Yes You are all right. I am also looking for some breakouts of companies just piercing through their moving averages from beneath, so I can go short. Someone told me, that when stocks violate a resistance level they soon fall back. However, it is hard to find something so tempting, on a fundamental basis, as the ones I mentioned above.
As to the conventional markets: Today it seems they are a bit shy. Maybe they will finally buckle.
Keep it up!!!
As for stocks poking through their resistance it is a mixed bag and could actually be very bullish at times. It really depends on a number of factors when looking and the prior chart/price action, the 20 day/ 50 day/200 day moving averages, the strength and momentum indicators like (RSI, ADX, MACD, Slow Stochastics, Volume, etc…) Often a stock will approach a Fib resistance level, trend-line, or particular moving average and pull back prior to reaching it, but then on the next attempt blow through it and keep going. In other instances, an equity will just barely make it up through resistance and then turn down hard making a double or triple top. It really is not a one size fits all scenario, so it needs to be taken on a case by case situation, viewed in a larger context, and acted on accordingly.
Good luck to you Nic in your investing and good to have another sharp contributor on the site. Cheers!
Weight Watcher …………will be HUGE,,,,DONALD SAYS……
Late nite with Jimmy F….
Thanks guys.
I got a problem. Since I am new to options and since I am neither from the US nor Canada I have no idea whatsoever where to look for options on North American stocks. I am from Europe and so far I have only found one bank that I trust that offers exposure to those kind of things.
Can You help me out? …and furthermore…will You also do it?
Regards!!! Keep it up!!!
NIC……..the best guys to direct your question to….MATTHEW, EXSELSIOR, DOC.
OH, btw………..Welcome to the site……………
FFM that late night with Jimmy Fallon and Donald Trump was very funny.
Here it is for anyone that missed it…..It’s gonna be HUGE….
HUGE……………………
I bought some Ferrari (RACE) after it dropped sharply from the open and then sold on a bounce which was weak. It looks highly risky and overvalued like all IPO’s.
I would get the stock certificate , keep it , buy one share and sell it to car collectors, the value of the paper may bring a higher price than the share price………..jmho.
What car collector does not like Ferrari…….
I like buying the Porsche brand as they are very reliable and practical such as the 911’s and the price is less than half.
I like Porsche too……nice enough car………but a Harley just makes me feel better.
Paul…………the oil change is cheaper also, on a 911
Bird………you like the Harley………..because you like to be BOSS HOG………
ASK RICK…..How POT SALES are doing……is it generating the expected TAX REVENUES, for the state.
