I’m back from a one day, 10 hour whirlwind trip to LA which included one breakfast meeting with a movie Hollywood agent (who’s also a Trading With Cody subscriber), one lunch meeting with a real estate/early cryptocurrency investor, and one big office meeting about aggregation, distribution and monetization of content in the ever-ongoing App Revolution.

Remember the pain and don’t be complacent

Ask me anything or email me at support@tradingwithcody.com and I’ll answer your question in the transcript we send out later. Most folks, including me, thought stocks would sell off if Trump’s poll numbers rose, but his numbers have […]
Drawdowns, fear and Great Bottoms
Stock markets are up just a bit this morning, but they have been absolutely decimated year to date, which means we’re talking about just the last five trading days. We’ve certainly seen most of our longs and all of our shorts get crushed so far, which is reminds us why we followed our playbook: trimmed the […]
Trade Alert: Nibbling two names as fear rises
Stocks getting hit hard early after a 7% sell-off in China stocks and a broad sell-off throughout Europe and Asia. Any fear out there? With the DJIA down -400 and the trading year not even 0.001% over*, I think it’s a great time to do our poll. Who’s more scared right now, the bulls or […]
China stock markets, Apple earnings preview and working from the NICU
We moved our newborn daughter last night to UNM Hospital from Presbyterian so she can get the most cutting-edge treatments that this area has to offer. I have been spending a lot of time at the hospital in Albuquerque with my daughter Amaris who was born with Trisomy 13 and a few complications that come […]
Debt dummies, Greece, Gold and a note about Sony
Debt cuts both ways. When you’re borrowing, you love debt, because you can invest/spend someone else’s money. When an individual borrows money, it’s that person’s own pride, ethics and actions, along with having to conform to our society’s laws that make the borrower feel compelled to pay that money back. When you run a company and […]
$GOOG, $AAPL, $INTC and $MSFT: Predictions and platforms
Markets tanking hard today, $DJIA -384. Lackluster earnings reports from $MSFT and $CAT and others, a “surprising” decline in Durable Goods, and low volume from the Blizzard are (mostly) to blame. $AAPL earnings on deck tonight, and the pressure’s ramped up now on the bulls. Let’s look at the tech world for a minute and do some Revolution Investing analysis. Looking back and […]
Party invite, stressed-out investors, and another Penny Stock Hype Machine

Markets and playbook and what’s next
Morning markets want to reprieve from the pullback, at least fractionally. Last month I wrote: “Near-term, the path of the least resistance in this market is now downward, and it could be a bad summer for the highest beta stocks. I’ve suggested trimming down your longs while they were at their highs, but I’m not looking […]
The Wearables Revolution (and commentary on markets and Apple’s stock split)
Let’s talk markets before I jump into today’s article. You see headlines like this everywhere today. World stocks inch towards all-time high. When was the last time you talked to somebody, bull or bear, who was actually looking for a major pullback? Even the bears are bullish right now, no? Volatility is gone. Hardly a […]
