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: 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 […]
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: Betting on Peanuts
One of the keys to Revolution Investing is to find a trend, theme or technological disruption that is driving new demand in the marketplace and therefore creating new valuations for companies that are positioned to benefit from said trend, theme or technological disruption.

Full preview of tonight’s Apple earnings report (Plus Trade Alert: Nibbling Whole Foods)
I’m going to nibble on some more Whole Foods common, just about a small tranche of about 1/8 or 1/10th of a “full size position.” They report earnings on May 6 and if the stock gets hit after that I would likely add one more tranche. No rush as usual. Twitter up on Google buyout rumors. […]
Trade Alert: Yandex/Pandora pair trade and Full Netflix Analysis
Here’s a pair trade idea I’m working on right now — buying $YNDX Yandex common stock and pairing it with a short $P Pandora common stock. Yandex is up 20% since I flagged it as looking like it was finally bottoming around $14 or so, and I think it’s headed back into the $20s and […]
Twitter’s periscope app makes it the best wearables stock on the planet
In regards to Twitter — their new Periscope app (https://www.google.com/#q=periscope+app) is a Live Video Streaming apps….which is what I’ve been saying would be HUGE. The Periscope app is also the incarnation of exactly what I’ve been saying is what GoPro GPRO was supposed to “pivot” into. GoPro, as I’ve said all along, is a hardware company, not an […]

Trade Alert: Nibbling on fast food puts and other notes
TRADE ALERT I’m going to start slowly but surely scaling into a few McDonald’s $MCD puts. I’m using puts instead of common stock because the premiums on the puts are negligible and by using put options, I am limiting any losses to the small amount of capital I’m using to buy these options. I’m buying a […]
Trade Alert: Apple trim and analysis for each of the portfolio positions
Five years ago when the Greece-contagion EU/Euro Financial Crisis first started rearing its ugly head, I used to write that I’d prefer to see the EU/Euro collapse as it has failed to create any prosperity but has been used as a means to prop up central banks and corrupt corporatist governments in Europe. I’ve always […]

Trade Alert: Scaling into two of my favorite tech stocks

I’m scaling into a 1/5th size tranche position in SNDK common stock today too. We’ve owned both of these […]

Trade Alert: Buying long-dated GOOG options and Cody Kiss & Tell
Stocks on fire as the ol “Fed’s inflating asset bubbles” logic dawns on everybody. So it goes in this time of great market manipulation. We’ve been positioned for this and predicting these ongoing bubble blowing bull markets for the last four years. But nothing wrong with letting off the gas pedal and having raised some […]

Trade Alert: Buying food stock and three revolutions you must get in front of
Oil and the dollar. Each is making some big moves over the last few weeks and months. Meanwhile, stocks just keep climbing. I’m going to add a small tranche, about 1/5 of a full position of common stock of Whole Foods, as it’s still not quite a full size position for me. I spent most […]
Trade Alert: Update on the GTAT BK trade PLUS Everything You Should Know Heading Into This Busy Week
I only got filled on about 1/3 of how much I wanted to buy to even build up what would have been about a 1/3 first tranche of GTAT at around 90 cents, hoping I would build the rest near 80 cents or lower, but the stock didn’t fade lower into my bids. So now […]
