VRA Letter: Melt-up Bull Market Phase Remains in Place. Meme Stock Craze Looks to be Returning. Lost Soldier Oil & Gas. Musk: Tesla a $20 Trillion Company?

The fact that, from the 4/7 bear market lows, the S&P 500 is up 31.6% with Nasdaq up a stunning 42.4% makes the case for us

Primary reasons this melt-up move can continue: 

1) The bear market ended on 4/7. We’re now in a new bull market. A new bull market that’s in the copy cat phase of the 1995-2000 dot-com melt-up (we’re in about 1996). Except this bull market will be stronger, longer lasting and (far) more powerful.

2) We’re only in the first 6 months of Trump’s presidency. This term is his political swan song. If you understand what drives the president, you know just how much he wants to be remembered as the best president of all time (in all areas, but especially so for the economy/m...

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 […]

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 […]
