Ukraine/Russia, Fog of War, Conflicts of Interest and This Market
Easy does it as markets feel a bit like they’re in no-man’s land. Let’s be patient just now and wait for the next great pitch, which is, as always, coming if we’re looking for it. No trades for me today. Today’s headlines are full of concerns about the still escalating Ukraine/Russia crisis, and stocks are […]
Cody Kiss & Tell: Bubblicious, anchor stocks and more
All right, let’s rock! Q. Hi Cody, I hear a lot that the market is as you say, “bubblicious” and many say a pull back is coming soon but I also hear that all of the traders are coming back from their vacations and that now is a good time to be fully invested (which […]
Snapchat is worth $10 billion and other true stories
Don’t forget this week’s Live Q&A Chat at 2pm EST today at https://tradingwithcody.com/chat. Meanwhile, the markets are struggling a bit this morning, and high beta stocks are down. Like I said earlier this week, I think the path of least resistance for the markets is now sideways, and today’s action seems to be reflecting that. […]
Trade Alert – Shorting a hyped up, lousy tech stock (and analysis for our wearables stock picks too)
I told you recently that I’m on the lookout for Bubbled Lousy Stocks to short. Here’s one I’m trying to short right now and am bidding on some puts dated in October and January 2015 with strike prices ranging from $12.50 to down to $10s — JRJC. It’s a crappy, hyped up Chinese Internet stock […]
Cody Kiss & Tell: Path of least resistance plus stock q’s and a’s
Yo, let’s rock. Ask me anything. We are hard at work on the new, upgraded version of TWC that will also have an app for your iPhone and Android. Q. OK, market has been bubbling; we are in the last week before labor day; what do you see as the path of least resistance for […]
Trade Alert: Hedging my fruit and a new way to think about your money
I am looking at my largest position, Apple, and wondering if I should nibble a couple put options to hedge it a little bit. There’s a lot of love flowing towards Apple these days, and very little bearishness. Recall that we’d added AAPL call options back when it was in the $70s and trimmed them […]
Must-reads about Apple, Google, bubbles and crashes
Lots of news, headlines and cross currents out there. Let’s jump right in and get some gestalt. I’m here at the MoneyShow in San Francisco to give a few presentations and sit on a few panels talking stocks and looking to get some gestalt from the folks here too. According to Wikipedia, “Gestalt psychology or […]
Markets, AAPL and San Francisco
Markets are up fractionally, slowly building their ongoing bubble blowing bull market cycle upon itself. Trader’s Deep Thought of the Morning: Is $AAPL overloved again? I’m literally up 100x from my first purchase of the AAPL stock from back in March 2003 and I still own it as one of my Top 3 Biggest positions, […]
Trade Alert: Portfolio maintenance and a complete run-down of Cody’s Latest Positions
I’ll run through all the positions in my entire portfolio with new ratings for each one. But first a few trades that I’ll be doing this week in the name of portfolio maintenance. I’m closing my positions in: DLTR, IEF, CREE and FEYE. I’ve had many mentors over the years, some famous, some random, and […]
Trade Alert: A few small tranche buys and searching for the next tech stock to crash
First a couple updates: 1. I’m going to go back in and nibble a small tranche in several of the names, I’ve recently added to the portfolio and that I’ve been slowly but surely building. Today’s round of buying is what I’m calling a “small tranche” meaning that I’m buying about 1/5 of what I […]

Don’t forget we have this week’s Live Q&A Chat at 2pm EST at https://tradingwithcody.com/chat today. JDSU missed on guidance and the stock is down a bit.

Trade Alert – Patience is a virtue
Travel can be tough anyway, but on Sunday afternoon in Baltimore, when I’d gotten to the airport, boarded the plane and then been ordered off as the flight got canceled, I lost a day of work and that’s why you didn’t hear from me til late last night. Markets are down fractionally but tempers and […]
Back from Baltimore, ready to rock
I headed out on Friday morning to Baltimore to surprise Dr. Jaimie Shores on his 40th birthday, and I couldn’t mention it here on TradingWithCody because Jaimie is a subscriber and reads most everything I send out. I’ve written about Jaimie, who’s been an inspiration and best friend to me since we first met at […]
Tensions rise, poll time, and the new Scutify Sentiment App
Markets are up fractionally this morning but tensions are rising amongst both the bulls and the bears once again. Time for another edition of the “Who’s More Scared, The Bulls or the The Bears?” Hit reply or come by Scutify and let me know which side you think is more scared. The results, especially when […]
Trade Alert: Correction but trade stands
Well, that’s what I get for going off memory this morning and not checking my facts. My mistake – Himax reported earnings this morning already. I’m already bidding for the options I’d mentioned earlier, the HIMX December 2014 with $6-8 strike prices, and I’m going to let the bids play out and I’ve already been […]
Trade Alert: A first strike at a new wearable play (and my speaking schedule for the Money Show)
Himax makes the eye piece in the Google Glass wearable that I’ve been raving about. The company reports earnings tonight, and I want to take a small gamble on a few Himax call options. I’m going to use the the HIMX December 2014 expirations with strike price of $6-8. The stock is down 60% this […]
