Textbook shakeouts…textbook bull market action. On his podcast yesterday Tyler explained this in detail, along with why we view most all government data with a general lack of belief. Disinflation is continuing to build…it’s the longer term trend that matters most to us.

One of our favorite market watchers over the last year has been Bryan Rich. Like us, he sees these dips as a buying opportunity. Please…don’t allow yourself to get caught up in the fear-mongering of permabears (clickbait list-builders).  Here are his thoughts on the PPI data.

2) Bitcoin

After hitting all-time highs yesterday of $73,740, BTC proceeded to drop to $65,765 overnight for an 18 hour correction of 8.5%. We’ve seen this movie before.

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.

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 […]

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 […]
