Read MoreGood 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. Don’t Forget: The markets are closed tomorrow for Good Friday. Two big developments: last night the AAII Investor Sentiment Survey came in at just 15.8% bulls, one of the 5–6 lowest readings on record. I’ve voted in this survey since the late 1980’s and yes, I voted bearish for this weeks survey.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. We just put out a VRA Alert to our member’s that we wanted to share here. Is The Gold, Silver and Miner Massive Bull Market of 2003–2011 About to Repeat? To understand why gold/silver may double over the next 3–5 yrs, with the miners jumping 300% to 500% in price,
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. We’ve been hashing the basics of this letter out for the past several days. Just when I think I know it all, Tyler reminds me of the value of a fresh (young) set of eyes. I’m going to walk you through a quick strategy session on where we see the markets …
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Garlic strong day yesterday, as word broke out that Ukraine President Zelensky was backing away from his requests to join NATO. Yes folks, the entirety of Russia’s invasion was due to this issue.
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.

While everyone was panicking yesterday morning, we were buyers. We never forget the people in our lives that made the biggest impressions. Professionally, that’s my first mentor Ted Parsons (RIP Ted). Ted’s mentor worked on Wall Street during the crash….
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.

Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. After a solid open, following the worst inflation data in the US in almost 40 years, the markets traded listlessly throughout the rest of the day but importantly, the internals do continue to show improvement.It’s not the news that matters most, it’s the markets reaction to that news.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. The good news? Both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones hit (intraday) all-time highs yesterday. The bad news? It didn’t last long. Following the FOMC minutes, with news that several on the Fed say they want to have “multiple rate hikes,
