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 […]
Cody Kiss & Tell: What to do if you were late to this bull market and much more
Howdy y’all. Let’s ride. Q. I was late to this bull market Cody. When’s the next one coming and how high does it take us? A. I don’t think this current bull market is over yet. I wouldn’t be aggressive, but if you don’t think you own enough stocks (or any for that matter) then […]
The single best stock to invest in for the Wearables Revolution
I lost sleep last night over our Dendreon bankruptcy trade. You know that I always tell you guys that if you’re losing sleep over a position or over your portfolio, that you’re probably too long. I don’t know why the GTAT bankruptcy trade we did last time returned us over a 150% in a couple days’ […]
Broken record: Trim, scale, bubble, crash, buy, sell, pop, tranche
Steady as she goes today. Don’t rush into or out of anything. Scale in. Scale out. 1/5 or so at a time. Broken record? Nah… For much of the last five years, I’ve felt a bit like a broken record as I predicted and prepared for what I said would be the “Biggest Stock Market Bubble in […]
Cody’s Latest Positions
Here’s a list of my latest positions (I’m removing the aforementioned four positions that I’m closing out this week, even though I’ll be taking a few days over the next rest of this week to close them). I’ve broken the list into Longs and Shorts. And from there, I’ve broken down each list into refined […]
Cody Kiss & Tell: Busted shift-key, ex-dividend, and lots o’ stocks
Howdy folks, let’s ride. Q. When a company announces their earnings for the quarter and they announce a dividend with it. Like when Apple announced, “The dividend is payable on November 13, 2014, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 10, 2014.” If I were to buy shares of the […]
Trade Alert: Taking some more profits from the buys last week
Into the depths of the declines last week, I stepped up and did several rounds of buying. Recall these posts: It’s time for another fresh round of tranche buying of a little more GOOG and FSLR common stocks and I’m also going to add a couple call options on the SPY here — buying the […]
The Hundred-Billion-Dollar Wearables Market
Now we don’t rush in our or out of any of our stocks. If you were in pain at the lows when the market was down 3% yesterday and the Nasdaq was in full 10% correction territory, you might want to consider trimming down a little bit on this reprieve. Otherwise, I think scaling into […]
Cody Kiss & Tell: Phantom-permabear-not-actually-meaningful catalysts and much more
Howdy folks. Crazy ugly out there. Part of the cycle tho. If the reason the market is selling off the last 5% or so is because of #Ebola concerns then I expect a bounce back to new highs relatively quickly. If there’s an economic/financial Black Swan (including if #Ebola spreads further), then it’s going to […]
Diversification in the portfolio: What it actually means and how to actually do it
No trades for me today. Holding steady for today. Market volatility has spiked. The DJIA is down 1000 points from its all-time highs, which were set just about 20 trading days ago. The Russell 2000 is down more than 10% from its recent highs, putting it fully in correction territory. You have to be careful […]
Trade Alert: Nibbling some names as we analyze the cycles
To put it bluntly, most analysts and pundits and economists are puppies chasing their own tails. There are three main types of these puppies. First, there’s the Permabear camp. These are the people who spend all their lives focusing on how inefficient and corrupt our financial as well as our stock markets are in general. […]
Cody Kiss & Tell: Cody’s current top picks, fear, greed and much more
It’s time for our Weekly Q&A Chat even if I didn’t get a chance to send you guys a blast reminding you earlier. What’s what? Q. I won’t be alone in thanking you BIG TIME for $GTAT. Thought i missed itwhen i didn’t buy as quickly as you did, left the .80 order there till […]

Cody Kiss & Tell: Lots of love and fun and great questions too
All rightie folks, let’s ride. Ask me anything. Comment: Cody, I’d like to give you and everyone around here a big high five. We all watched $AMBA and $HIMX climb, climb, climb. You sent out such a timely letter yesterday with a call to trim those 2 stocks. I think many of us did just […]
Trade Alert: Last INVN tranche, stocks likely to rally next and Full Bubble Analysis
STOCKS TODAY The markets have no juice and have been rather volatile and down lately. But interestingly, some of our biggest positions are more than weathering the storm. Facebook, Ambarella, and HiMax are all up and at new highs, FB and AMBA both setting new all-time highs today. FB is now worth $205 billion dollars. […]
What you should be doing as stocks sell-off big time today
The markets are down big and it’s flat out ugly out there. I’ve been writing for the last week or so that “The path of least resistance for the broader stock markets remains sideways with a slight upward bias.” That sure feels wrong today, but I don’t suggest you try to navigate the near-term market […]
Cody’s Latest Positions PLUS Alibaba IPO analysis and an update on the iPhone suppliers
ALIBABA IPO I’m waiting patiently to let $BABA work itself out here the first few days at least. Flipping and/or swing trading IPOs like this can be very exciting, but I always ask people to think about the next 10,000 days of their life and their money — is trying to game the swings of an IPO […]

Trade Alert: Taking a tranche of profits on JRJC puts PLUS Analysis on Apple, The Fed and the Alibaba IPO
The trade I am slowly putting out some offers to sell about 1/5 of my JRJC puts. I never was able to borrow any shares to short on JRJC but I did get filled on my some my puts from a couple weeks ago when I’d written: “Here’s one I’m trying to short right now and […]
