Good Thursday morning all. The streak of seven consecutive down days for the Dow Jones came to a close yesterday with an average gain of .27% in the Dow and S&P 500. Once again, in the investment theme that we have adopted here at the VRA,
Read MoreLet’s get this out of the way, right away; US markets are now trading at 98% overbought (based on VRA Momentum Indicators). This is most typically when bad things happen to stock markets…but folks, this market has proven the shorts wrong time and again…and we know why:
Read MoreGood Friday morning all. What a week! Brexit scared the sh*t out of the markets, but our friendly neighborhood central bankers were standing by to manipulate stocks AND bonds higher. Wow...just...wow.
Read MoreBy now you've probably already heard, more than $3 trillion in global stock market losses took place over the last two trading sessions. An all time record, for back-to-back trading sessions. This morning, let's put these global losses in perspective...but not just from the last 2 days..
Read MoreAs it turns out, Mohammed Ali is not the only one that can shock the world. Our faith in the "possible" has been restored...maybe the little guy DOES have a shot, after all.As I live tweeted the emerging victory for #Leave, with each city reporting their vote totals, it began to become more…
Read MoreFollowing my "Fix is In" VRA Update from last month, along with my consistent theme over the last...however many years...that "the establishment wins...big government wins", recent events might just be forcing me to change my stance. Two major events may be in the process of changing everything.
Read MoreThere's an old saying that you've no doubt heard before; "if it walks like a duck and if it quacks like a duck...then...it's a duck." After mentioning this distinct possibility here in the VRA more than a few times, its time for me to call this particular duck out...folks, the FIX IS IN.
Read MoreGood Monday morning all. If you're like me, you never own enough of an investment when it soars higher and you always own too much of an investment when it crashes lower. This is absolutely the case with mining stocks today...specifically the 600% gains in NUGT (3 x mining ETF) over just the last 3 months.
Read MoreBefore we get to the most bullish sector in the market, here's a link to my recent radio interview. I explain the 3 biggest risks in the markets today, and why central bank insanity is driving money into precious metals.
Read MoreDon't Fight the Tape...Don't Fight the FED. Anyone that's been with the VRA for a while knows that this is an investing rule that I live by. Following FED Chair Janet Yellen's high profile speech yesterday to the New York Economic Club, it's time to take a fresh look at one of my cardinal rules of investing.
Read MoreGood Sunday everyone. I received two great questions this week...perfect for this VRA Update. Plus, I'm including specific index price targets for a sharp reversal lower (and yes, it's fast approaching). Question One (Bill in TX): I enjoyed reading your "Professional Short Sellers" update for technical levels to watch for a reversal.
Read MoreGood Wednesday all. It was an honor being Wayne's first guest on his new radio show last night. VRA Subscriber (Phil T) even jumped out with the first question for Wayne....plus a very nice plug for the VRA. Thanks Wayne and thanks Phil! I'll be joining Wayne frequently going forward and like last night, no target is off limits.
Read MoreGood Friday morning all. The employment report just released was a big miss from expectations. We're told that 151,000 new jobs added, while the estimate was in the 190,000 range. As I said yesterday, this report will not change anything...even though the public will see the new shiny official unemployment rate of just 4.9%,
Read MoreSince we're all friends here I can speak honestly. I'm either going crazy or the whole of Wall Street is badly missing the risk that is the Zika virus. I know, I know...the uproar over the Ebola virus was short-lived and it didn't really hurt the stock market.
Read MoreI've yet to hear a single, not one mind you, Wall Street/FED economist...certainly not many portfolio mangers...speak the truth as to why global financial markets are trading like a brutal recession (at minimum) is just around the corner.
Read MoreGood Tuesday morning all. Yes, we are still in the early stages of what will be a rolling bear market, ultimately taking stocks down another 25% plus. I've seen nothing that is changing my mind, and the VRA System seems to get more bearish with each passing week.
Read MoreThe markets are rolling over hard. Opened 100 points higher (DJ), and as I've said each and every day, "Sell/Short any bear market that opens sharply higher" This ones a real Investing101 folks...and now...the DJ has closed down 364 points. Incredibly,
Read MoreMUST READ ALERT: STAY FROSTY! Good Wednesday morning all. The world is in turmoil this morning...yes, again...for another morning. I don't like this anymore than you do, but if the world is going to falter and falter hard, we owe it to ourselves, our families, and friends and our businesses, to make sure we survive...and yes, thrive.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all and a Happy New Year. Gotta say, getting New Years wishes from parts of the world where they are "already" bringing in the New Year always feels strange...especially when it's 8 am here in Sugar Land (a city so sweet, it had to be named after processed poison...I mean, sugar cane).
Read MoreVRA CRASH ALERT: THIS E.L.F.E. JUST MISSED IN 2008. WE MAY BE JUST HOURS AWAY FROM..."A DIRECT HIT" (note from Kip: Predicting the exact day/week of a crash is never easy, never simple. However, beginning on Monday of this week (12/7) I issued my first 3 Crash Alerts since 2008, when the Dow Jones lost 56% of it's value...
