As 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 and more clear that Brexit actually had a chance. Gold started to spike...then the VIX started to spike...and the British pound began to plunge (to 30 year lows).

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.

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 […]
