One stock that Morgan Stanley thinks is under valued ? Market update 7-8-22 08.07.2022

Jobs reports came in strong bouncing yields in the bond market and hitting growth stocks with fears that maybe the Fed will have to continue to raise rates and tighten. September is going to be key with the big amount of selling the Fed will do of their assets.  $CLF - still like it at $15 handle  $GS - over $300 and I like them going in to earnings - won't go back to $400 anytime soon,...

Oil is back - where do you invest? - Market update 7-7-22 07.07.2022

I talk about recessions, energy and the Fed notes today and include some of my favorite stock plays.  $REV - crazy pop yesterday with confirmation and validation  $PXD - selling at 7 times forward earnings and they make money over $40/barrel - even if oil stays at $100/barrel - you're only selling at 7 times earning and they will either return the money via a dividend or buy back stock.&...

Quite a few opportunities today in the algorithm - Market update 7-6-22 06.07.2022

I did a market scan and found quite a few opportunities. I continue to say this market will sell down so $SPXU $SQQQ $SARK and $UVXY should still be in play.  $GS - trading at book value - this is huge $MRNA - wow - good trade but take profits at $155.  Oil is tanking - could go as low as $65 so stock up on the oil stocks as I think we will see it go back to $120 $KOLD and $BOIL are stil...

Shorting this market still makes sense - Market update 7-5-22 05.07.2022

Use tools like $SPXU $SQQQ $SARK and $UVXY for days like today when the market is down.  Energy and $META will be the 2nd half plays I think.  Energy is down today since the fears of inflation become more real. Commodities go down when fear of inflation goes up because of demand slow down.  $MCD - $1 drinks are now $1.53. Could be a boom for the stock with them being able to raise t...

Tesla quarterly deliveries - Market update 7-1-22 01.07.2022

The worst start to the year since 1970 - good news if you're a fan of history for the 2nd half of the year.  I continue to say you should be in $SPXU $SQQQ and $UVXY  Be careful with commodities with fear of recession.  Some new dividend plays discussed: $GTY - 6% dividend  $IRM - 5% dividend  $MPW - 8% dividend  $O - 4% dividend  $SPG - 7% dividend  $VICI -...

$SPXU $SQQQ $SARK $UVXY - all of these have been my picks - Market update 6-30-22 30.06.2022

I go over a TON of stocks on this one as it's long, but remember what I recommend. $SPXU $SQQQ $SARK $UVXY.  $BRK.B $PAA $CTO - 7% dividend yields $MCD $UNH led the dow yesterday  $UPST - no longer one of my favorites  $NVDA - I love this one here, but I fear you've got a little more downside. Don't time it for long term though - get it under $150 if you can.  $TSLA - under $70...

Short the S&P with $SPXU which is triple levered - Market update 6-29-22 29.06.2022

I contend that we are in a trading range of 3,000 to 3800 on S&P - that would mean we are just going down. There really isn't good news in the market and there's going to be more downside. I think we go to 3,000 as the earnings revisions are brought down through mid July with maybe a stop at 3500. I think $SPXU, $SQQQ and $UVXY are good for swing trades.  $DAL and $TSLA indicate to me tha...

Energy isn't done - oil is running - Market update 6-28-22 28.06.2022

Oil will go to $140/barrel. Leaders of the world are talking about it now and knowing that supply just can't increase in the next 6 months while demand is going to soar with China opening and Russian oil embargo.  Today's stocks: $MU - love this in to earnings $CVX - cross up - buy below $150 $XOM - cross up - get it under $90 $DVN - it's over $60 on the cross up so expect it to go back to $7...

Earnings week kicks off - I love this one stock that reports Thursday - Market update 6-27-22 27.06.2022

$NKE kicks off earnings today.  JP Morgan thinks this week we are up 7%.  $LOW, SWK, PII, VFC, and MO are five of the highest quality and most undervalued dividend aristocrats. Meta $MU and INCY, $VFC, and $$MO are five of the highest quality and most undervalued dividend aristocrats. $Meta $MU and $INCY $TSLA - what do I think of this stock?  $UCO or $SCO?  $KOLD or $BOIL?&nbs...

BHAT is crazy again - as is REV - can you trade these? - Market update - 6-24-22 24.06.2022

$MRNA is watchable now $ENB - huge dividend beaten down energy stock I like $VIG - high dividends and a beaten down ETF $SHOP - huge moves in the last few days $BHAT - WOW $REV - up again Ibonds - listen to Suzee Orman podcast - Masterclass on them $SNOW - should have bought at algo $120 $FCX - I'll watch this as I think it's unfairly beaten down - someone bought big on the July $33 calls  $E...

What stock is now paying a 17% dividend? - Market update 6-23-22 23.06.2022

In the middle of recording this, I wound up getting a phone call and upon my return I did an entire podcast, but I forgot to hit record. So instead of editing and going back, I did my best to continue after that, but if I missed anything, hit me up on Twitter and I'll cover it tomorrow.  I go over my theory that we're in a range for the S&P between 3000 - 3800 and 3500 has a support level...

Revlon - from $1 - $8 - Market update 6-22-22 22.06.2022

$FANG and $SLB both increased their dividends and are pulling back with energy. I like these at lower prices.  $JETS - at some point the airlines get it right and this looks to be an opportunity for a move up.  $CLF - love this one down here. I think it's poised to make a move, but the algo doesn't have a buy on it yet.  $AAPL - I think this wants to move to $115 (which kills me), b...

Tons of trading opportunities in this market - Market update 6-21-22 21.06.2022

There's still downside in this market so trade it - don't invest in it.  Mike Wilson (analyst) thinks the S&P has 3,000 as a level vs. going back to 4,000. If you agree, $SPXU is your play. He thinks the pullback is just on P/E multiples - the recession hasn't been priced in yet.  Crypto over the weekend sank - still not a bottom IMO - but trading it may be a good idea. A new short f...

Sectors I like, economic outlook after my discussion with an economist and tax advantaged accounts - Market update 6-20-22 20.06.2022

While on my cruise, I had a discussion with an economist who's very bearish about the economy. He validated my views on oil and the pending food shortages. I also talk about some of my investments that have gotten hit down - $DVN and $OXY being 2. Rebalancing will be necessary, but make sure you're using tax advantaged accounts like a Roth IRA or a Traditional IRA. Live off the brokerage account a...

Yesterday was bad - but you can still trade around this market - market update 6-14-22 14.06.2022

$UVXY was a big winner yesterday and anything short like $SARK $SPXU or $DRV (recommended at $44 and is now $60) are all good options on days that are down.  I wouldn't trade anything you're not sure about in the short term or happy holding long term in this market. Tomorrow's Fed decision is worth waiting for and trading around.  2 new high dividend payers to look at $CEQP and $KREF $SP...

You can make money in a down market - Market update 6-13-22 13.06.2022

$UVXY is just an example of when things go down, you can trade and make money. $SVXY is probably the play in the market where any reaction is an over reaction in the market. Both of these should NOT be held long term. Trade them.  $DRV is a short ETF on the housing market and since I've updated on this one it's gone from $44 to $56 in 1 week.  $IMPP is up at $1 - it's a Wall Street bets...

Inflation still rising - what should you do now? Market update 6-10-22 10.06.2022

Inflation is still rising - stock market is tanking this morning.  $SARK took off when it was announced - short ETF's are a great tool to try and leverage or try and limit your downside on long stock positions.  $DRV is taking off like the algo thought it would  $NFLX - if they fix their shared passwords issue - this stock will soar. It's now in value range like $META $IMPP - energy...

Market Opportunities included the Google Stock Split - Market update 6-9-22 09.06.2022

Cramer says buy $UBER - I think Inverse Cramer is better $GS $AXP $UNH all dragged yesterday - I'll watch them $TWTR providing Musk data - $TSLA stock upgraded by UBS - Buy $TSLA and nibble on $TWTR since deal is at $54.20 $ATVI - deal with $MSFT at $95 - should go through with $MSFT pushing more gaming through Samsung TV's $UCO - WOW! Buy around $55 $MPC $MPLX $XOM $CVX $DVN $OXY $PXD - all of th...

Energy stocks hit 52 week highs - should you buy now? - 6/8/22 Market update 08.06.2022

$TGT showed that every bad news could be good news yesterday $CVX $MPC $MPLX $XOM $DVN $CTRA $OXY - all energy stocks are doing great $COST - should have bought at $420 - it was a sign  $ROKU - is $NFLX buying them?  $TSLA - when it goes under $700 - buy more $CROWD and $PANW are long term buys and buys - wait for a little pullback but I love both. Add $ZS to the list $EGLE has had quite...

$UVXY - The VIX is going back to 30 - 15% upside - 6/7/22 Market update 07.06.2022

I still think shorting the real estate market with $DRV is a good move - just waiting for a buy signal from the algorithm.  Energy - keep looking for pullbacks on $DVN $CVX $XOM $MRO $MPLX - drilling and refining increases take time while demand is going to soar with China opening Inflation number on Friday is key - we will trade in a range until next week with the Fed rate increase. Strategu...

Shorting the Real Estate Market - like Burry in 2008 - Market update 6-9-22 06.06.2022

I like this idea - using $DRV - a triple levered ETF to try and short a potential housing bubble.  $ARKK is up 20% since May 12 - S&P only 4% - is this a sign of a bottom in ARK funds? $AMZN split today - it's popping because of it.  $DIDI and China stocks way up $TSLA - just buy it - FSD being rolled out to more cars - China reopening - Musk not selling stock to fund $TWTR - all goo...

Tesla or Twitter? Walmart or Target? Which stock is better? Market update 5-27-22 27.05.2022

$TSLA is a buy in the algo, so is $TWTR and so are $WMT and $TGT, but which ones will perform better?  $BABA - China stocks are trades $COST - earnings were hurt by inflation and no membership increase. Also - no raising the price of hot dog combo or chicken.  $ATVI - still a 20% upside to the $95 $MSFT takeover $WMT - a buy  $TGT - a buy - which retailer do I like better? $GOOGL $G...

Will Elon buy Twitter? Is it a buy? Costco Earnings today - should you buy it before? - Market update 5-26-22 26.05.2022

If you think Elon will buy Twitter and the deal will go through, you're buying it today. If not - stay away from it because if the deal doesn't go through, there's quite a bit of downside in this stock.  $COST - earnings today after the close - this could be big and we have a MacD cross up in the algo.  $ATVI - deal still at $95 with $MSFT - trading at $77 $SNOW reported and guided lower...

Oil and Energy are still solid buys here - Market update 5-25-22 25.05.2022

Today's news dragging the market is Apple's iPhone development cycle being hit by the China shutdowns.  Dick's Sporting Goods ($DKS) reports good earnings, but bloated inventories and costs are hurting them just like Target, Walmart and Amazon.  On the opposite side, Nordstroms reported great earnings and said price was of no concern to their consumers.  Great debate of whether it's...

SNAP killed the market! But there are opportunities - Market update 5-24-22 24.05.2022

$SNAP news killed everything  $COST - I still believe this could be a big upside if they raise their membership fees. Just wait for a bottom here.  $TWTR buyout - Elon doesn't have a choice... it will be $54 a share $MU - it's held up along with $QCOM - I like these  $ZIM $VET $FANG $UAN $CRK $MOS $GSL $C $MS $ZM  $AXP $CLF $DVN $OXY $XOM $CVX $UNH $ABBV $LLY $UCO  $UVXY i...
