Good Thursday morning. In addition to the myriad of reasons we’ve been aggressively bullish from the 10/13/22 bear market lows, Tuesdays trading gave us another reason to continue “buying dips”. 94% of all stocks traded on NYSE rose in price and 92% traded on an “uptick” (buyers swamping sellers), a rarely seen event that resulted in a 90% up day (89.997%) with 10:1 advance/decline.

In the 86 previous times this has occurred (back to 1952), the S&P 500 was higher 1.44% after 10 days, 20 days later it was higher by 2.24% and 30 days later higher by 3.28%. After 65 days, 6.21% higher.

As we begin todays trading, the S&P 500 is less than 2% from ATH’s.

Our leading indicator and our single best "market tell", the semis, are right at ATH’s highs now. We own SOXL (3 x Semi ETF)

Our other leading indicator and single best "economic tell”, housing, is also right at ATH’s as well. We own NAIL (3 x Housing ETF)

Know this; as Tyler is known for saying ...

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.

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 […]
