Recession vs Markets, Is it too late to hedge, What’s up with gold, and much more
Here’s the transcript from this week’s Live Q&A Chat. Be careful out there, but don’t panic. Q. Hey Cody, I agree with your overall take here but I think the concern for many is that it feels like covid 19 wont ebb and get solved or get over a hump for at least a few […]
What The Headlines Will Say About Coronavirus In A Month
The DJIA tried to rally and got up a full 450 points…before falling 600 points from that level and is now down 150 points as I write this. Even as I’d been so cautious and defensive and I’d warned repeatedly about how the market should not be looking past the Novel Coronavirus (the virus formerly […]
Why aren’t economists/traders worried about COVID-19?, Bitcoin’s a real thing, Gold’s next move and much more
I had two main takeaways from the panel I hosted at the CFA Austin annual dinner where the topic was The US and China: When Two Global Economies Collide: Nobody on the panel seemed to be very concerned about COVID-19 and the potential longer-term market/economic ramifications that might come from it. Which makes me more […]

Trade Alert: Hedges, Dumbest mistakes under 30s make, Contrarian indicators & much more
I have to admit that this week’s Live Q&A Chat was full of questions that were ebullient and free of worry. I think it might be time to nibble a few index put hedges here. I’m nibbling a few puts in the usual suspects, including SMH, IGV and SPY. Strike prices that are about 5% […]
Scamcoin alert, Time to trim?, Market direction, Uber vs Twitter, Slack vs Teams and more
First a personal note — I’m going to take the family, including little Amaris, up to a cabin for the next five days. I’ll be back full speed Monday. I think it’ll be good for me to get a little distance from the screen for a few days, though I will obviously be working on […]
Full Analysis: Impeachment, US China Trade War, Hong Kong, Fed, Brexit, Oh My!
We can look at the stock market two ways, from the bottom up or from the top down. I spend most of my time and writing focusing on bottom up analysis, meaning that I focus on individual stocks and analyze them both individually and collectively. You’ll see that, for example, in my Latest Positions pieces […]
Latest Positions: Analysis, ratings, graphs and more
I got back from NYC and to Ruidoso NM at about 3am Saturday morning — The Tesla sure makes the 170 mile drive from the airport in Albuquerque easier than it used to be. Lots of interesting meetings and experiences on the trip and I’ll be writing about all of it this week. But in […]
Latest Positions with quotes from Nikola Tesla
“There is something frightening about the universe when we consider that only our senses of sound and sight make it beautiful. Just think, the universe is darker than the darkest ink; colder than the coldest ice and more silent than a silent tomb with all the bodies rushing through it at terrific speeds. What an […]
Is the Bubble-Blowing Bull Market over?
The stock markets were down big today because: Trump China Trade War, tariffs, Yuan devaluation, suspension of Chinese imports of US agriculture, Hong Kong societal meltdown, Yield curve inversion, the Fed didn’t only cut 25 bps, negative interest rates in Germany, Asian stocks collapsing, Japan South Korea trade war, overvaluations, bad technicals…I’m sure I’ve missed […]

Trade Alert: A little nibbling into the fear, but just a little
Markets swings cause emotional swings which causes market swings which causes… There’s a lot of emotion out there today led by fear. I’m not doing much nibbling, but I did nibble on a tiny bit of FB, AMZN and GOOG as the markets freak out about new anti-trust concerns from, of all things, the heretofore […]

2007 vs 2019: What’s changed, what’s the same, and what’s next?
I found a batch of old emails last week and stumbled across an article I’d written for The Street a dozen years ago, back in August 2007. My economic and market analysis from the time made me think a lot about these days and the current market set-up. I covered a lot of topics that […]

Evaluating The Risk Factors: Sentiment, Valuations and Geopolitical
I’m sure my house wasn’t the only one full of family, love and fund — with lots of talk about the markets and the economy too. Monday’s historic Christmas Eve sell-off didn’t bring good cheer into the holiday. After eight years of being steadily bullish and long stocks, and just as stocks were hitting new […]
Latest Positions: What a difference 90 days and a 20% pullback in the stock markets make
Last time I did a Latest Positions Update, in late September, I wrote this: “There’s a lot of momentum in this and other long-held Revolution Investments of ours, which is a function of how well they’ve performed in the last few months and years. Momentum money will rotate away from these names eventually, if only […]
