VRA Update: Death Spiral Alert Markets are getting clocked...Dow is off 300 points, but the real losses are in high yield debt. Working on 3-4 major developments and just looked up and cannot believe that its almost 11 AM EST. Know this: everything I have been warning about is happening...right now.
Read MoreThe markets sold off aggressively on Monday, with the Dow losing 179 points, or 1%, and each major index suffering similar percentage losses. We've been highly overbought for some time, but this correction looks to be much more about the future of interest rates.
Read MoreVRA Update: Is the Housing Market Really Strong? Oct 29, 2015 Literally every market analyst has been saying the same thing; the housing market is strong, and it's telling us that the economic recovery is in good shape. Certainly, the FED has been making this their case for higher rates....but is it actually the case?
Read MoreIf you watched the debate last night, you likely saw what I saw. The level of class warfare was astounding...even for this group of populist, vote panderers. Success was under attack...and it looks to only get worse. Here's the deal; if you've worked hard your entire life to make something of yourself, and after 20-30 years of 10-12 hour days,
Read MoreI WANT TO LOAD UP I'm talking about precious metals and the miners...of which we already own (Gold/Silver, miners and ETF's). So, I guess I'm saying I want to load up even more. I'll walk you through my thinking next, but this is also a good time for a "portfolio mindset check".
Read MoreThank You Bear Market Rally! Oct 02, 2015 Good Friday morning all. ABYSMAL is me being nice...Septembers job creation figures of just 142,000 new jobs came in a full 60,000 lower than the estimates. In addition, and this is just as big, both July and August job figures were revised lower by a total of 59,000 jobs.
Read More(From Sep 29, 2015 VRA Update) In my most recent updates I've written about two concepts; 1) Bear market rallies are sharp and fast...and we are perfectly set up for one. The market has bottomed and the move higher could be furious. 2) Someone has to be right; either the FED…
Read MoreI rarely re-print anyone's work in whole cloth, but in my view, literally every American should read this. Excellent work WAR...you're speaking exactly to the angst in America. And yes, Trump should hire you as his only PR guy and speechwriter. Just one man's views...
Read MoreGood Friday morning all. The FED's news came in with a bang and went out with a whimper...now it's time for a correction from the near 1300 point move higher in the Dow since 8/24. Important Point: I am not looking for a retest move to those 8/24 lows. However, I would not be surprised to see the market give up half of that amount.
Read MoreIt's exactly this kind of scenario that beckons all card carrying contrarians to ask the obvious question; should we act with the majority... those expecting the FED to stand pat...or should we take the flip-side of the majority view, sell everything and then go 100% short stocks? Should we stay or should we go?

Read MoreWithout question, these last couple of weeks have been incredibly difficult for the average investor, both here and globally. Most emerging markets have losses of 30% to 50% off of their annual highs, and in the US, we've just experienced our first "true correction" in 4 1/2 years, with the major indices falling more
Read MoreIt's hard for me to be more clear about this then I've been. We will have much MORE QE in our future. Why there's this talk about raising rates is little more than a farce. If Yellen and her team of "can't shoot straight monetary gangsta's" moves forward and increases rates by even just .25%...in THIS environment...
Read MoreVRA Update (Aug 18, 2015) At the risk of sounding “emotional” (because emotions and money have no business even being in the same room together), this continues to feel like a market that wants to go lower. It also feels like volatility is about to begin a slow boil…
Read MoreBeginning this week, I have started to see all of those same perma-bears calling for ’The Big One”…the global stock market crash that they have been predicting for years. Once again, they will be proven wrong. Here’s how I know this to be the case; VERY FEW experts ever see a "big one" coming…in fact, in my entire career,
Read More(From Thursday's VRA Update). Good Thursday afternoon all. As I type, the markets have taken another turn for the worse, with the Dow off close to 100 points, joining the S&P 500 in the .50% loss range for the day. Most of this week it's been the tech heavy NASDAQ that's been hit hard....
Read MoreSince June 29th, or just over 3 weeks, the VRA has booked fresh profits of 236%...not a bad 3 weeks, but now, it's time to look forward. Where is the market headed next, and where will our future profits come from?
Read MoreMy apologies on the previous update that was sent out on Monday. As you may have noticed, parts were incomplete...this update includes full kipherriage.com commenatary and game plan. Thanks for your patience. Kip In the VRA's 12 year history, last week may have been our best.
Read MoreAs outlined in my last update here, I expected the markets to correct, and thanks to the VRA Trading & Investing System we were alerted just prior to a major shift in market direction (which also gave VRA Subscribers their next 100% in profits…in a single day).
