Keeping track of one's analysis, reasons for making trades and other records are key to long-term outperformance. It's incredibly helpful to go back and look at your thoughts. If you haven't been doing this, maybe start now. Whenever you make a trade, jot down a few notes to remind yourself why. Now that I think about it, one of the smartest things I ever did in my life was … [Read more...] about Looking Back At A Crazy, Stressful, Profitable Year

Trade Alert: Time to lock in a little bit of the TSLA profits
After noting in yesterday's analysis that "as an investor, I wonder when the next time we’ll see a stock like Amazon as the butt of all jokes just as its putting in a generational bottom. I suppose Tesla was there when I was at that Vail hedge fund ideas conference where people openly laughed at my TSLA pick," I went back and looked at the spreadsheet of all the stock picks … [Read more...] about Trade Alert: Time to lock in a little bit of the TSLA profits
Trade Alert: Hedges, Dumbest mistakes under 30s make, Contrarian indicators & much more
I have to admit that this week's Live Q&A Chat was full of questions that were ebullient and free of worry. I think it might be time to nibble a few index put hedges here. I'm nibbling a few puts in the usual suspects, including SMH, IGV and SPY. Strike prices that are about 5% out of the money on the SPY and dated out to December or maybe January.

Highflying stocks: Nemesis for the hubristic coming sooner rather than later
I have a few thoughts about the markets and hubris and trying to keep perspective about the next 10,000 days of our lives, as we head into the weekend. I see multiple stocks up 20-30% every day these days, even giant multi-billion companies like SPLK and other already-overly-loved tech stocks like AMD and NFLX going up close to 10% on upgrades from analysts who have missed … [Read more...] about Highflying stocks: Nemesis for the hubristic coming sooner rather than later

In that vein, I reached out to one of the most famous and insightful trend forecasters on the planet, Gerald … [Read more...] about Gerald Celente joins Cody to talk Blockchain Democracy, Gold, Cryptos, and The Next Crash

Bubbles -> Risk -> Complacency -> Greed -> Downturn -> Crises -> Crash
We've had years upon years of this Bubble-Blowing Bull Market (and which we positioned ourselves for with our many Revolution Investing stocks). Every sell-off has turned out to be a buying opportunity. Every panic about geopolitical concerns, or about peak earnings, or about anything else has turned out to be foolish. So people start taking more risks and those risks work … [Read more...] about Bubbles -> Risk -> Complacency -> Greed -> Downturn -> Crises -> Crash
