Here's the transcript from this week's Live Q&A Chat. Now that it's done, I'm going outside to walk up the hill and find some of my golf balls up there and hit some balls.

Trade Alert: Some Electric Vehicle and Space Short Ideas

I'm buying puts on Blink BLNK which … [Read more...] about Trade Alert: Some Electric Vehicle and Space Short Ideas
Seeing The Flip Side Of The March Stock Market Crash
Jumia is straight up since we sent out the Trade Alert about it a couple days ago. I don't know why. The chart is now parabolic and I'd have a hard time buying any more than just the tiniest of nibbles for now. Maybe it will keep going straight up, but I'd venture a guess that we'll see this stock below $20 again at some point in the coming weeks. If not, we'll have to pay up a … [Read more...] about Seeing The Flip Side Of The March Stock Market Crash
Trade Alert: Africa Is Ready For Economic Revolution And A New Name For The Portfolio
Last year, when I reversed my Tesla bear stance, turning bullish and then pounded the table over and over and made TLSA my biggest position at a split-adjusted $50 and finally making it a rare 9+ rated stock when it was below $40 -- that's why guys pay for this service. Fast-forward to today and the powers that be announce that TSLA is going into the S&P 500. Rock on. What … [Read more...] about Trade Alert: Africa Is Ready For Economic Revolution And A New Name For The Portfolio

Updated List Of The Prices Where I’d Want To Buy Our Stocks At Now
Growth or value? For years, 17 years according to some studies, the markets have been favoring growth over value. That's because, as we've rightly analyzed for the last 20 years, when you can find a company growing 30-100% or more per year with nice gross margins and operating leverage, the "value" has actually been better in the "growth" names. That's not going to change … [Read more...] about Updated List Of The Prices Where I’d Want To Buy Our Stocks At Now
