Before we get into the transcript from this week’s Live Q&A Chat, I have something to say. Mea culpa for any loser picks I’ve had this year. Investing in innovation stocks can be very hard. Most tech-centric funds are still down more than 50%, even after this recent bounce in the markets, from their Covid […]
Trade Alert: What I’m doing with our QCOM common and call options now
Well, this move in Qualcomm’s been pretty amazing. If you happened to have to bought some of the QCOM call options that I’d written about twice this year, you’ve likely got 15-20 baggers on them now. That said, recall that I’d mentioned I’d bought long-dated out of the money call options in QCOM when I […]
Trade Alert: Nibbling NFLX and AMZN call options, covering 1/3 GWPH
Well, it’s an ugly open here this morning to the new week, following up last week’s ugly action and the ugly close on Friday. U-G-L-Y is the theme out there. To review, I remain a bit bearish on the broader markets and remain high on cash and mostly patient in scaling into any more long […]
Trade Alert: Panicky action, buying call options on two stocks
Okay, I’m sensing some panic into the close here and I’m going to take a shot at nibbling at some longs here. I’m buying some Amazon call options, dated out to May with $540 or $545 or so strikes on them. And I’m buying some Netflix call options dated out to June with some $95 or […]

Trade Alert: Taking profits on half of my $GOOG call options
Trim, tranche, ebb and flow. Keep it steady as she goes using the playbook we’ve developed of scaling into and out of Revolution Investments as we get opportunities over time. Back on December 18, I wrote: “I am buying a small first tranche of call options in GOOG, dated out into January 2016 with strike […]

Trade Alert – More insurance, hedging and some call options too
$Copper is absolutely crashing. Disparate markets around the world dislocating. Not bullish for stocks near-term, methinks. Meanwhlie, $GOLD is spiking again. Things could get ugly. Be careful out there, stocks ain’t cheap, markets are straight up and dislocating and it’s been a HUGE rally over the last five years. Just sayin’. Here’s what I’m doing. I’m buying puts […]
Trade Alert/Portfolio Cleanup (Selling SEDG, PANW, FXI, And Some Puts)
Bryce here. Cody is on the road today and we are just writing to share some portfolio cleanup that we did today. Several times a year we usually end up going through the entire portfolio and axing a few names just to keep the portfolio from becoming unwieldy. Over-diversification can actually become a hindrance to […]

“For I must tell you friendly in your ear, Sell when you can; you are not for all markets. Cry the man mercy, love him, take his offer… …I pray you, do not fall in love with me… …And be not proud. Though all the world could see, None could be so abused in sight […]
Recession Prediction, China Pop, And A Few Trade Alerts
First off, wanted to mention that I think Netflix (NFLX) had an amazing quarter and let you know we are holding our position steady. On the other hand, I’m not impressed with Texas Instruments’s (TXN) quarter or guidance and thus we decided to sell it today. Here is the transcript from this week’s Live Q&A […]

Everything You Need To Know About Options Trading
Cody here. Since I launched the hedge fund five years ago, we’ve been using options a lot more than I had been in the years when I was only trading/investing my own capital in my personal account. Consequently, I’ve received a lot of questions about how options work, when we choose which options to use, […]

Trade Alert: Market Rocking. Here’s What We Are Doing
Markets are rocking today including many small- and mid-cap companies that have been absolutely punished lately. It’s been astounding how bad the performance of even some large stocks has been lately, with companies like Estee Lauder ($37.4bb market cap) falling 20% in one day on soft earnings after already being down nearly 60% from its […]

Trade Alert on TSEM, Market Predictions, Reshoring Stocks, And Much More
The Tower Semi/Intel (TSEM/INTC) did not get approval from the Chinese regulators and the deal falling through is certainly disappointing. We had a thesis on it and it was a pretty good risk/reward setup for an arbitrage but it didn’t work out. The stock is down about $5 from where we sent the trade alert. […]
Trade Alert: Trimming Some Puts And A Few New Longs
Markets are down big this morning for the first time in what seems like months. Something about the jobs numbers coming in better than expected so now the Fed might have to raise again? Doesn’t matter. This market has felt pretty bubblicious for the last couple of months and the indexes have probably been due […]
