Good Wednesday morning. We’re adding TNA (3 x Russell 2000 ETF) to the VRA Portfolio this morning.

While we have excellent exposure to small caps in the Portfolio (Snowline Gold, Vista Gold, Xtract One…Falcon Oil & Gas-hold rating) we’ve yet to add a leveraged ETF. It’s time to change that. Small caps are trading at their widest discount to the S&P 500 in history...when small caps get going, they get red hot.

Good Monday morning. We’re beginning to witness a rare level of panic buying…pure melt-up action...yet as overbought as we may be (well into extreme OB on the VRA System) the bottom line is this market wants to keep going higher. To illustrate this extreme set-up, let’s take a look at the market leading semis (we own NVDA). We think this […]

Good Thursday morning. Alert: raise your GTC stop loss order to sell TQQQ @ $70.50 (last: $71.78). We’ll continue raising our stop loss on TQQQ with the hope it never gets hit. As seen below, Nasdaq 100 has gone parabolic (10% above 200 dma)…the rubber band is fully stretched…and a stones throw away from EOBOS.

VRA Alert: Bought GDXU

Good Wednesday morning. We bought GDXU @ $188.00.  You know our thoughts on PM’s/miners….this group should run for a while. We now have GDXU, VGZ, SNWGF and physical gold and silver, meaning we have a lot of exposure to one theme. However, if we’re right about our positioning in interest rate sensitive names, the rest of […]
