Only the Russell 2000…not considered to be a major index by most…still sits 14% below its ATH from November 2021. And yes, we’re hitting extreme overbought levels on our shortest term momentum oscillator (stochastics) on each index, but with room to run before hitting Extreme Overbought on Steroids (EOBOS), our most overbought readings in the VRA Investing System.

Until money flows (MFI), relative strength (RSI) and MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) also hit extreme overbought levels…combined with some of our other important VRA System readings (internals, semis, sentiment, etc) we remain aggressively long. 

The VRA Investing System remains at 11/12 screens bullish, our highest readings on record.

My spidey senses tell me this market wants to keep pushing higher, likely into next Wednesdays Nvidia earnings repor...

Good Friday morning. Breaking: the jobs report for April is in and it’s another beat to the upside. 117,000 jobs were created, beating the estimate of 65,000, with private payrolls almost doubling previous estimates.

VRA Letter: Alert: Raise Stop Loss on TQQQ. Broadening Action; Highly Bullish. Gold/Silver/MIners; This Move Could Be Special. Tesla; Slowly Then All at Once.

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. The most extended of […]

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 […]

VRA Pre-Alert: With the War Ending, Own Precious Metals and Miners. We’ll Be Adding GDXU Later This Morning.

Good Wednesday morning. I think we have the makings of an excellent setup unfolding. We learned last night that Trump is pausing Project Freedom, just over a week before he's set to meet with President Xi in China. This looks like a deliberate de-escalation signal, especially since China relies heavily on that oil flow. It […]
