Good Thursday morning all. Right at 3 months ago we began our planning for the Biden bear market and issuing our VRA Strategy Updates. We sold our VRA leveraged ETF holdings that focused on tech by selling TQQQ (3 x Nasdaq 100 ETF) and selling SOXL (3 x Semi ETF).
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Multiple bases to cover this AM. Yesterdays disastrous trading (on the backs of Target/Walmart/Wall Street waking up to the fact that inflation is at least as high as it was some 40 years ago), had the feeling of a weight so heavy that we couldn’t even have a single mini-rally…
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Quick note: we’re getting an increasing number of emails alerting us to the fact that you aren’t getting our VRA Letters and VRA Podcast Alerts. You know the drill; censorship comes in many forms. As always, please check your spam folder. Obviously, alert us.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. As Tyler covered in detail on yesterdays VRA Investing Podcast (sign up for alerts @ vrainsider.com/podcast), something interesting could be brewing to restore our (short term) faith in the markets. Even as Nasdaq (-1.2%), on the back of the Netflix implosion was hit yesterday the internals actually showed improvement.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. As we start trading today the VRA Portfolio is up 17.6% in 2022. That compares to losses of 10-14% in our broad markets. Folks, this feels like on of those years for our stocks. I remember this feeling, similar to the years we’ve put up 100-200% + net gains.
Read MoreEven as countries all over the world adopted elements of fascism (most all but Sweden, really), for those that still couldn’t see CV insanity as the “plandemic” that it is, after Canada’s invocation of the Emergency Act…full-on hard-core fascism from our northern neighbor…
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. The much awaited CPI data is out and its a hot number, with inflation hitting a 40 year high as the CPI posts a 7.5% annual gain in January. Honestly, don’t most of us look at this number and say “what do you mean it only rose 7.5% year over year…based on what I’m paying for stuff it feels much more….
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Following another wild day in the markets, here’s what looks to matter most. The last 3 days have brought severe intraday weakness…Powell made sure of that yesterday…but on each of the 3 days the smart money hour was “bullish”.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. A big about-face in the markets yesterday, as another weak smart money hour brought steady selling pressures, with each index finishing right at their lows of the day. Nasdaq has now fallen into correction territory, down 10.7%
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. From +518 to -461 at the close, the Dow Jones had a near 1000 point reversal lower yesterday. An even larger percentage decline occurred in Nasdaq, which had a near 600 point swing.
Read MoreGood Friday morning all and hope everyone in the states had a great Thanksgiving. Half day of trading in the US today. We went to bed last night with Dow futures -300 on fears of a new CV variant out of South Africa (uh-huh) and we woke up to losses of -800.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Rather ugly day yesterday with a sell-off throughout the smart money hour into the close. And it was the 3rd day in a row with negative A/D for NYSE. It’s been a couple months since we’ve seen that. Weak internals across the board; 2:1 losses in both A/D and volume.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Yesterdays trading…actually the last 2 days of trading…have served as an important reminder that until we break the pattern of market sell-offs/pauses that’s been in place from March (once reaching extreme OB on VRA System momentum oscillators), we must continue to respect this pattern.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Yesterday brought massive intraday reversals higher, with the Dow Jones gaining 560 points off the lows to finish +102. Seeing follow through this AM with Dow futures + 280. Real fear started coming into the market yesterday morning. Music to a contrarians ears.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. It has been a mixed week for our markets as higher interest rates and our leadership tech/growth stocks tend not to be besties. As we are wrapping up the worst 30 day period for the markets but also as we prepare to enter the best 7 months for the markets (October- May, going back some 70 years) …
Read MoreGood Friday morning all. Some interesting data here; for the last 6 months the markets have sold off into today’s options expiration, with those Friday lows marking THE lows into months end. And here’s MORE bullishly compelling data from our investor sentiment surveys.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. 1% losses across the board yesterday but we did see an improvement in the internals (most notably in Nasdaq where up/down volume was flat). The markets are in mini-correction mode based primarily on the 3 factors…
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Another poor jobs report (ADP) took the Dow down 323 points yesterday. Like the Obama economy, we should get used to reports like this. Soon, and take this to the bank, they’ll be manipulated to start looking better, with part time…
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Yesterday may have been a quiet day on the surface, but like ducks on the water it was a much different story below the water line. We’ve just had back to back days with fresh ATH’s in Nasdaq and Q’s (Nasdaq 100), the semis led the way higher (they’ll hit ATH’s soon),
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. As we have covered in previous updates, as bad as J Powells track record is (once his pressers begin the markets immediately start to tank), JP actually scored a win yesterday. When he began speaking the Dow was -309 and Nasdaq -104, but by the close the Dow was -265…
