Asking dumb questions
“You are probably saying to yourself ‘Hey, I’m a college graduate, I spent a lot of time in school. What does journalism have to offer me? What do I have to offer journalism? What is there to write about? What is there to write with? Should I use a pencil or a typewriter? What kind […]

The welfare and QE driven market
I’ve often talked about the concepts behind Revolution Investing and why we launched that newsletter in the first place in early 2010. Much of it centers around the idea that the government’s actions, forces and policies are now the biggest drivers of the stock market and (eventually) the broader economy — and not in a […]
Trade Alert: Taking profits on VIX and analyzing the reports of yet another new warfront
I neglected to mention the Syrian war coming soon to an American theatre according to NBC in my earlier post only because it’s so obsessively covered on every mainstream news outlet. That is the primary reason for today’s panicky action and the Lew-ser Octoberfest Debt Ceiling comments are just another reason on top of the […]
Trade Alert: Buy into the “scentless” fear
What…you mean, the bulls can get scared sometimes? I thought they’d become fearless. And not in a good way. But then today comes along and the latest loser to fail upward into the Treasury Secretary seat for the Republican Democrat Regime, Jack Lew-ser (ha! See what I did there. Punny, punny stuff, huh?) comes out and starts […]

Trade Alert – Softee says good bye, we say hello
I’m out running some errands this morning and literally spit my coffee up on my lap when I heard the news that Steve Ballmer, the CEO of Microsoft, was leaving his post. I once told Richard Edelman from Edelman Worldwide on my TV show and at his house over beers that I would buy Microsoft […]

Trade Alert – VIX Cake
Buying the “VIX” means that you’re buying market volatility and expecting either a pullback or more specifically that the markets are about to get edgy and make some big moves. The VIX generally trends upward when the markets trend downward and vice versa. Remember that chart I showed you last week when I bought a […]
Trade Alert: Lights, camera, action
Revolution Investing is a two-fold concept that covers both “cyclical” and “secular” trends. It entails trying to navigate the broader macroeconomic and geopolitical trends and cycles that increasingly dominate our economy and markets. This is how we navigate the “cyclical” realities that we all have to deal in, which in many ways is a defensive […]

Meanwhile, I’m going to trim about 1/10 of my SSYS position which is at yet new all-time highs again and which I haven’t trimmed before. ———————– “Geez, whats going on with Apple?

What a wild ride this SLV trade has been. I continue to trim out my SLV call options, the remaining which are up through the roof at this point with several hundred percent gains on them. On the other hand, I’m not trimming any of the VIX call options from yesterday or prior purchases though […]

Here’s the past week’s discussion from the TradingWithCody.com Subscriber Chat Room: eryba1 August 8, 2013 – 7:29 am @hc2002-: since apple has broken above all its trend lines its a clear breakout.
