China’s crack down on business has demolished a lot of Chinese stocks here in the US. Everybody’s panicking about exactly the stuff I’ve been warning everyone about when it comes to investing in China, a communist regime — random enforcement of laws, corruption, a lack of transparency… And when I say everybody, I mean, everybody […]

Trade Alert: Covering Some Shorts As The Frauds Start Being Revealed
I had cataracts in both eyes. Yes, after less than half a century of use, I already had cataracts that were getting progressively worse. So I bit the bullet and had eye surgery on each of them — the left one last month, the right one on Tuesday earlier this week. So bear with me, […]
Trade Alert: Crypto Stock Idea
What a week to be back. That open this morning was terribly ugly but it was over within the first fifteen minutes or so. I did a little nibbling in the hedge fund premarket and near the open, but I had no idea the bottom (at least the short-term bottom for now) would be put […]
Latest Positions Part 3: The Cloud, Content, Social, Global Middle Class
And here is a Part 3 of 3 (sorry, part 4 comes tomorrow) of the list my latest personal portfolio positions and most of the hedge fund positions with updated commentary and ratings for each position. The ratings for each stock go from 1 to 10, 1 being “Get out of this position now!” and […]
Getting A Wee Bit Longer
I’m making some minor moves in the hedge fund today (mostly just covering some short hedges and trimming some puts) but despite the pullback in many names I like, I’m still not making any nibbles in my personal account. Tesla’s got the double whammy of bitcoin getting sold off hard along with the news of […]

Cathy Woods, George Gilder And The Importance Of Valuations
Remember last week when I’d mentioned that I didn’t think it was a great time to start building long-term investments? Today is a better time as the market panicked this morning. As I’d mentioned in the Chat Room in real-time this morning at the lows, in the hedge fund I did some nibbling of some […]
Buying U Stock, 5 Potential Black Swans, Bitcoin Advice from 2013 And Much More

The symbol for Unity Software is simply the letter U. Here’s the transcript from this week’s Live Q&A Chat. Q. Cody, lots of talk about interest […]
Don’t Lose Sleep In This Blizzy Blizzy Bizzle Boop Market
The market pulled back! Oh my goodness. I thought stocks only went up. The question remains whether or not this is the beginning of the end, even if the end is a whimper leading to a slow grind lower over several months and not necessarily a crash. That said, I don’t quite hate the markets […]
Trade Alert: Strategies For This Blow-Off Top Market
“That’s how any good bubble starts, with enough people getting far enough ahead of themselves that the reality becomes a self-perpetuating phenomenon. Again, we probably aren’t at that tipping point just yet, but it’s coming. I don’t want to let this scare you off, we are likely at least a couple years away from a […]

Happy Thanksgiving. What a week it’s been and it’s only Tuesday. What a year it’s been and there’s still another 10% of the year left go. Tesla, woo woo hoo hoo, is over $550 and over a half a trillion dollar market cap. I’ve asked it before, but now’s a good time to ask it […]

The Long Arc Of Justice Will Come For The Markets And Everything Else Too
Last week, I held a Zoom call with my hedge fund partners since we can’t get together for a retreat or anything fun like that during the Coronavirus Crisis. We talked about valuations comparing ZM to TSLA, what can make the markets go down, how 2020 is a lot like 1920 and other things. Here are some […]
Don’t Be A Chicken In A Market Full Of Them
You ever been around chickens? I hadn’t spent much time around chickens since the days when I was a kid and my dad was a vet and a friend from down the road kept some chickens at our farm house for a year or two. But others in the midst of the pandemic, we had […]
Trade Alert: Covering Some Shorts In The Reflecting Softbank Sun Light
You ever have a big blister that hurts but keeps getting bigger until finally it pops and though it really hurts at that moment, it actually makes you feel a bit better because now you know things can get back to normal? Is that a bad analogy for the 10-30% pullback in many of the […]
