With stocks selling off seemingly every day since the Fed’s most recent announcement, the fear is building amongst the longs. And with fear comes opportunity. We can find some very cheap stocks that are positioned to benefit and grow in the Wearables and/or Internet and/or Drone and/or Robotics and the over-riding App Revolution that are trading […]
Trade Alert: Putting more cash to work in wearables
You know I’ve been patient waiting for stocks to pullback to levels that I can get excited about and we are getting there. FitBit, GoPro and Ambarella are all getting squashed today, and I’m going to nibble a little bit of each of them today, using common stock. I don’t expect that I’m nailing an […]
Trade Alert: A brand new Wearables stock pick
As per our playbook, I’ve been patient in waiting for good pitches before taking swings. This week, in the midst of this current stock market weakness, I’ve started nibbling on some of my favorite long-term Revolution Investing stocks and now I’m going to step in and add a new name to the portfolio. Let’s look […]

Trade Alert: Health Food Scale (and best two stocks for the Wearables Revolution)
Our recent purchase of Whole Foods is up 10% today and up more than that since we bought our first tranche a couple weeks ago. I’m going to step in and buy a second tranche in it today. Since the advent of the iPhone and Android smartphone, I’ve explained over and over that the single […]
Trade Alert: More JRJC profits and Rebecca Diamond talks Wearables on Scutify
Don’t forget to meet me for this week’s Live Q&A Chat at 2pm EST at https://tradingwithcody.com/chat. JRJC’s descent continues and the stock is now printing with a $6-handle.

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 […]
Trade Alert: Speaking at SF Money Show (and tranching two wearables stocks)
VACATION ALERT: I’m going to take the next few days off for a much needed break away from the computer and Internet in general. I’ll be back next Tuesday night and will have lots pent up to write about when I hit the ground running again next week. Until then, a couple other things to […]

I’m gonna give a talk about some of this very stuff. Drones, Robots and Wearables, […]
Trade Alert: Investing in Under Armour UA
We have had a lot of stocks pop 20-30% or more in the last few weeks during this earnings season. Today, we got one that went the other way as we had three stocks report earnings last night, two of which are posting big moves. But first — here’s the Trade Alert. I’m going to […]
Trade Alert: Buying back some of this RFID stock that’s down
I’m going to buy back a few of the shares of Impinj (PI) that I’d sold back when the stock was above $50 two months ago. The stock has been down since it’s recent earnings report and the hype that we sold into has now come out of the name. To see the reasons why […]
Trade Alert: Taking my stupid Fitbit losses
I should have taken my losses on Fitbit the first time the company disappointed me, which was back when they were trying to price that secondary at a multiple of today’s stock price. Over the last few quarters while I’ve owned this stock that basically went straight down since I bought it, I’ve made excuses […]
Trade Alert: QQQ profits PLUS A look back and ahead
A few housekeeping items and other notes to start. I’m going to sell 1/3 of my QQQ call options that I’d bought into the teeth of the Brexit panic, locking in some profits but leaving 2/3 of the position on the sheets. BenjaminGraham wrote: “Successful investing is about managing risk, not avoiding it.” That is simply of the […]
Trade Alert: New pick for the VR and SmartCar Revolutions
Two sectors that are at the top of my list of Tech Revolutions would be smart cars and virtual reality. I can think of a handful of burgeoning tech revolutions that will grow 100% or more per year for the next three to five years, including artificial intelligence, big data and wearables. But today I want […]
Trade Alert: I spy puts (and the Virtual Reality Revolution)
I’m going to hedge the portfolio a little bit more by buying some puts on the SPY and the QQQ. We’ve had a heckuva rally from the February lows and I am just going to buy a few puts to provide a little more downside protection in case the markets do get ugly again. I’m […]
Trade Alert: One sell, one nibble
Twitter and Fitbit are two of the few stocks that are down in the portfolio, and let’s address each of them today. Twitter’s user growth has stalled and the company’s doing everything they can to get it growing again. Periscope is going to be huge and is growing steadily but it’s not generating any revenues for the […]
Trade Alert: Trimming big positions while they’re at new all-time highs
The markets have been struggling and fading lower since last week when I had noted: “And I’ll tell you right now once again to stop everything you’re doing and think back to those August lows. If you were in pain or losing sleep over your positions back then, it probably means you should trim back […]
Trade Alert: Four tranche buys, two trims
I’m going to make a few trades here today. Remember when the DJIA was down 1000 and hit its August lows and I wrote: Just scale into some more long exposure while others are panicking. That’s exactly what I’ll be doing this morning as I nibble on some of my highest rated stocks. I’m not […]
