Today marks 17 years since 9/11/01. Like most, I was in shock in the weeks/months that followed the attacks. Then I saw this picture, with an article signed by several hundred scientists that (engineers, architects) that raised serious doubts as to the official story…
Read MoreNo doubt, many of you played chess growing up. Many of the worlds best investors do. Chess and Risk, those were our games of choice. If you’ve never played a really good chess player, it’s most similar to playing a good poker player…you feel like they’re renting space in your head.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. This week’s surge higher in US stock prices was credited to Trumps trade deal with Mexico and as details begin to emerge, we’re learning just how serious Trump has been about “actual free trade” all along. We’ve covered this here often;…
Read MoreGood Friday morning all. Following a big (bullish) day higher yesterday…with solid market internals… here are my thoughts this morning. Buy the dip is evolving into “aggressively buy the dip” for US stocks. This bodes well for our markets as we finish the year out. Again, with just 36% bulls on AAII Sentiment Survey,
Read MoreYesterday we highlighted the fact that the Russell 2000 has reached an overbought level that has occurred just twice in the last 2 years. Right on cue, the R2K sold off sharply, down 1.18%, leading the rest of the market lower (along with its co-leader, the Nasdaq).
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Another big green day in US and global stock markets as bears capitulate, by covering their shorts, and then add to the already surging buyside volumes by then going long themselves. This is the nature of how a big move higher in the stock market occurs…
Read MoreGood Thurday Morning All. If you weren’t able to join us on the Wayne Root Show earlier this week, here’s the recorded NewsMax TV link, discussing China v US trade, the miracle that is #45 and a forward look at the US/global equity markets for the rest of this year, based on VRA Investing System readings.
Read MoreThe VRA System was built to remove emotion from my investing. It was built to have us out of the markets in times of turmoil (or short) and in the market when the bull wants to run. We used the VRA System to book 150%+ in net gains from last September through January/February of this year,
Read MoreIt appears that the shorts have been trapped. They’re on the wrong side of the market and must now cover their shorts and go long. This is usually a process that plays out over weeks, but the process should provide a strong underpinning for US stock prices going forward.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. VRA Market Update. VRA System Shows 11/12 Screens Bullish As you’ve seen/experienced with me over the last week or so, my life can be a tortured existence. I live and breath the markets….and for those that do as well, life ain’t always easy.
Read MoreGood Friday morning all. Yesterdays 700+ point drop in the Dow Jones (-2.9%) and 2.5% decline in the S&P 500 caused both the Dow and S&P 500 to break through the “higher lows” that we have been discussing in our daily updates…a bullish technical pattern…
Read MoreGood Friday morning all. Another mixed day in US markets yesterday, but this time it was the Dow Jones that rose more than 100 points while the rest of the market was mixed. Still, the markets did not decline into the close…and thats a positive…breaking the 2 day streak of weak closes.
Read MoreWe look to have timed this market correction well. Yesterdays 336 point move higher in the Dow has taken it out of the “trouble” zone….but, the best looking moves higher have taken place in the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Russell 2000.
Read MoreBefore we get to this weeks sell-off, and the panic level sentiment that has come flooding back into stocks, here are our performance numbers for 2018: The VRA Portfolio has a net gain for 2018 (on all trades and current holdings) of +4.6%. Annualized, this gain equate to +27.6% for the full year.
Read MoreGood Tuesday morning all. After Monday’s big close I continue to be amazed by the bears that somehow appear blind to whats occurring in the US economy and stock market. Our long time VRA Members know how bullish I am…
Read MoreGood Thursday Afternoon All, DJ futures dropped and rebounded on fears of inflation this week. Look, we’ve long known that inflation was NEVER sub 2%. What a scam. Rapidly rising prices on the products/goods/services most important to actual people prove that inflation has been 8–10% at minimum.
Read MoreAt the beginning of 2018 I made the comment (to anyone that would listen pretty much) that I believed this year would our best year…possibly ever…for the VRA Portfolio and our bottom line results. If that sounded like marketing rhetoric,
Read MoreOne of the advantages this week of waking at 3am has been watching the events at the annual Davos World Economic Forum (Switzerland), where the global warming/global cooling/climate change establishment billionaire elites take their fuel guzzling private jets to meet each year to remind us peons that “they got this”.
Read MoreThe VRA nailed the birth of the "global reflation trade" in January 2016. My system caught the early reversals in base/precious metals, oil and global economies, along with the explosive volume movements that are hallmarks of a signifiant reversal. Frankly,
Read MoreGood Wednesday Afternoon all. I'd like to wish everyone in the US a very happy Thanksgiving. Markets are closed tomorrow and open for just a 1/2 day on Friday. Yours truly will be back with you first thing Friday morning (at the latest).
