New York City was hopping last week. Ruidoso NM is hopping this week. The economy keeps chugging along, stocks keep going higher, what can possibly go wrong? Well, my friend, one thing I know is that the best time to think about and plan for what can go wrong is when it feels like nothing can go wrong.

Trade Alert: Spotting a Musical Revolutionary Investment
A couple weeks ago I was doing some curls, standing next to my wife who had just finished her inaugural workout on our new Peloton bike when she starts tapping the Tesla-like screen on the front of the bike to create me an account too. She got to the third screen or so and says, "Do you want to log into your Spotify account so you can listen to your music while you workout?"

Trade Alert: Buying Boeing, Pets.com, Staking Coins, 5G and more
Here's the transcript from this week's Live Q&A Chat. Q. Thanks for the news letter that just came out. I cannot get my head around how negative interest rate works in Europe. Normally Banks payout small interest to depositors and then lends the same money to others at an higher interest. With negative interest are we saying the banks cannot lend money out?

Disrupting your own future (and Trade Alert: New Year Sell-off Ahead?)
DISRUPT YOUR OWN FUTURE "Master disruption to own your future" from Pontus Siren at Innosight was the title of one of the most fascinating presentations that I sat in on at SALT Abu Dhabi. The talk was all about how you have to see disruption before the data tells you it's happening if you want to survive. He was mostly talking about businesses, but it totally applies to … [Read more...] about Disrupting your own future (and Trade Alert: New Year Sell-off Ahead?)
The hardest trade to make right now is… (and Trade Alert: Trimming CPB)
Earlier this week, I asked both my Trading With Cody subscribers and my Twitter followers to take a poll: "The hardest trade to make right now is: Buying more stocks Trimming stocks/reducing exposure Sitting tight" As I'd noted at the time, if the hardest trade to make is usually the right one, then we might want to see if there's a consensus about whether it's … [Read more...] about The hardest trade to make right now is… (and Trade Alert: Trimming CPB)

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
