Trade Alert: $FIT (and a full update on my daughter and family)
I know most and maybe all of of you who are reading this truly care and want to know what’s going on with my family and me during these last few weeks. My second born daughter, Amaris Leon Willard, is an angel and she’s probably the toughest little baby you’d ever meet. She has a […]
Trade Alert: Airing out the portfolio
One of the biggest pitfalls for most investors and traders is that they sell their winners and keep their losers. Similarly, another big pitfall for most investors and traders is holding onto legacy positions simply because they’ve owned them for a while and end up growing complacent. We are not most investors and traders and, […]
Trade Alert: Scaling in amidst the panic
Remember just 32 days ago, I wrote this: We have a lot of stocks up big today, which has been a recurring theme for our portfolio during earnings season so far. Many of our biggest positions are at or near all-time highs. If you haven’t done any trimming, consider doing so. Maybe 10-20% of some of […]
Trade Alert: Using the mini-crash to buy some stock back
Time to do some more nibbling into what is becoming a panicky sell-off Mini-Me Crash. I’m nibbling some Ambarella AMBA common stock at $88 per share and some Apple $AAPL common stock at $108 per share here right now. And here’s a few more Q&A for you. Q. Do you think we will see a rate […]
Trade Alert: Gold miner trim and two nibbles
Markets don’t go straight up. Pullbacks happen. Fear builds. Panic selling starts. And feeds on itself. And then we put in a bottom. Stocks can fall farther. Traders who bought yesterday looking for a bounce that never came are selling today. Investors who have had big gains but now have smaller gains will want to […]
Trade Alert: A Pure Play on IoT and Cloud Networking
I’ve got a new name I want to start scaling into. I’ve been working on this name since I met up with one of my old idols, George Gilder, back a few weeks ago when I MC’d the San Francisco Tech/Biotech Money Show. The company is one of the single purest plays on the Internet-of-Things movement and […]
Trade Alert: Trimming some gold miners, looking at some buys
With the DJIA down 10% over the last few months, and with some panic in the selling today, I’m thinking the path of least resistance from now til year-end is probably HIGHER. Lots of stocks to consider nibbling on now, including: Sony, Synaptics, Twitter, Whole Foods, Apple, Splunk, Palo Alto Networks, Amazon. Gold and gold miners […]
Trade Alert: Updates on China, energy, Twitter, WFM, Google and Iconix
China’s going to let their currency devalue a bit and that’s a classic macro-economic news bite that the media will love to glom onto, but that probably doesn’t matter much to our overall thesis and economy and playbook and markets here in the US. Remember the same rinse-and-repeat macro-economic news cycle of panic to euphoria […]
Trade Alert: Two nibbles and an update on my newborn
Hi all, just a reminder that I’ve been at the hospital with my newborn daughter for the last week as we are scheduled to take her to our Albuquerque rental home tomorrow. She has miraculously improved her health and functioning every day for six weeks now and she is probably the healthiest and happiest Trisomy […]
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: Buying some more Twitter
On a personal note, my daughter Amaris is pulling through remarkably well. She might be the single happiest and healthiest Trisomy 13 baby in history, and she’s blowing all the doctors’ minds. She’s got a tracheal tube, a gastro tube and lots of monitors, and my wife and I spend most days at the hospital […]
Latest Positions and a Trade Alert: Locking in more profits
We have a lot of stocks up big today, which has been a recurring theme for our portfolio during earnings season so far. Many of our biggest positions are at or near all-time highs. If you haven’t done any trimming, consider doing so. Maybe 10-20% of some of these biggest winners or about that same amount […]
Trade Alert: Mining for options, tech apathy and other notes
Amaris doing very well…breathing on her own thru the trach for hours at a time. She responds to our voices and looks at us with her good eye (her left eye is a little underdeveloped) and smiles when we coo her and kiss on her. I got to do a bunch of cooing an kissing on […]
Trade Alert: Buying this precious metal using these vehicles
For a year or more now, I’ve not mentioned precious metals, gold and silver, except to answer questions from you dear subscribers. Such questions and my answers have typically gone something like this, as I’ve been waiting patiently for better pitches. Q. Cody, What do you think of gold and silver as investment vehicles? A. […]
Trade Alert: China/Greek/Oil selling provides chance to nibble two stocks
China/Greece/China/Oil/China Cross-currents Did you catch the 2-3% gyrations in the stock market by buying and selling stocks at the right time? Is that even possible to do for the long-term? No sense trying to game these near-term market gyrations, as they are being driving by cross-currents from China/Greece/China/Oil/China, and trying to game what headlines/policies/schemes are […]
Trade Alert: Closing time for three positions
Closing time, You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here. – Semisonic “Closing Time” (Side note: It’s amazing what you can do by playing G-D-Am-C over and over again) I’ve got a few trades I want to make, including closing three of our existing positions, so let’s jump right in. Here are the three positions […]
Trade Alert: Cycles, the Fed and why I’m selling this chip stock
Let’s touch on several important Revolution Investing topics that are more related than you realize. Will the Fed do another round of Quantitative Easing, which is a direct form of welfare for the giant banks who package and peddle securities and the corporations who borrow money and an indirect form of welfare for homeowners and […]

Trade Alert: Buying more Peanuts (and check out the new TWC Android App!)
I’m personally going to nibble a second tranche of ICON here today, just slowly building it up over time as per our playbook. The stock has been flat for the last week since we first added it to the portfolio with a first small tranche and I’m leaving myself room to buy more of it […]
