As I mention below, I’ve raised cash, reduced the size of our longs, cut our number of longs in half and put on some more shorts in the last year. I certainly wish I’d gone almost all to cash and loaded up on shorts back when I wrote “The Great Corporate Debt Bubble“, but I […]
Trade Alert: Economic analysis, stock market set-up, shorting IBB
In the Trading With Cody Chat Room this weekend, @jakef1111 wrote to me: “Your mindset doesn’t seem the same as when you were as bullish and shrugging off crisis after crisis like Greece, Cyprus, EU, Middle East tension, Russia/Ukraine etc… Do you see us having another leg down? Are you still positive on the year?” He’s exactly […]

Trade Alert: Doing some buying as the bulls panic
I’ve been saying we probably need a down -800 day on the $DJIA to wash out this market. That said, looking at the carnage out there, I sense there’s some panic in the air today already. Finally. Here’s a sampling of random names getting killed this morning: Clearly I should have been just bearish and short […]
Trade Alert: Cycle analysis as I sell two more stocks
Markets cycle. Here’s a video from my Fox Business TV show back in July 2008, in which I outline that: “I used to poke fun all the time at the permabears for not being able to recognize the boom times for what they were, say from 2003 to 2007. Oil, real estate, unemployment, inflation, the dollar, […]

Trade Alert: AAPL options, FFIV, and reviewing the playbook
Well, many stocks, including (especially?) technology stocks have been smashed in the last few days. Let’s look at some charts for some perspective. Looking back over the last, say, three months, you can see that some of our biggest long positions have been up nicely, while I’ve also unfortunately ridden some losers lower: Our shorts, […]
Laboring the labor data and update on AMBA’s quarterly report
This chart, which is a more accurate reflection of employment trends in this country than the unemployment rate, is trying to put in a bottom and is still a long way from pre-2008 crisis levels. “Labor force participation rate nudges up to 62.5 percent” https://t.co/GN5Cwn7LTW On the one hand that’s a bit of a depressing […]
Trade Alert: Small cap nibble, big cap trim and markets set-up
A little portfolio maintenance here, with one nibble and one trim. I’m going to nibble some Axogen here. The stock has finally come down a little bit from our buying pressure since I added it to the portfolio a couple weeks ago. Also, remembering always that as Jim Cramer says, discipline trumps conviction, let’s trim some […]
Is the bull market over?
Stocks getting walloped (again). Is the bull market over? If so, is the stock market telling us the economic cycle has topped and we’re heading into recession? I’ll be the first to admit that while I take a lot of pride in having launched a tech hedge fund at the bottom in 2002 and closed it […]
Markets and stock valuation thoughts
Markets getting smacked and high-beta is where the most damage is being done, of course. Energy and commodities smacked down again today too. Is it a bear market? The average stock is down much more than the broader indices which are being held up by a select few stocks that have held their own and […]
Cody Kiss & Tell: TradingWithCody 3D systems Corp, Bidu, Twitter and much more. July 8th, 2015.
Cody Kiss & Tell: TradingWithCody 3D systems Corp, Bidu, Twitter and much more. @codywillard – Still no tangible panic in the US stock markets. China stock markets are, on the other hand, now truly in panic mode sell-offs. Can you imagine me asking my go-to poll question to Chinese retail investors, “Who’s more scared right […]

Don’t forget to join me for this week’s Live Q&A Chat at 2pm EST at twc.scutify.com/members/.

5 Lessons from Nasdaq 5k (Plus markets, cash, Sonic vs Shake Shack and more)
Lots of our stocks are near their all-time highs. Others that we’ve nibbled on recently are up 15%, 20% or more so far this year. The stock markets are at all-time highs and we’re looking back at the last time the Nasdaq hit 5k in today’s report. Do I think the stock market is likely headed […]

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 […]
