Last week just about every asset class sold off – Bonds, Growth Stocks, Value Stocks (with some exceptions), Crude Oil and, not to be left out Bitcoin (or in general cybercurrencies). Some asset classes got hit harder than others. It really does not matter; we had a bad week. It happens, get over it. Now, […]
In the first installment of this two-part discussion discussing what is occurring in the netherworld of short selling, I discussed the mechanics behind a short sale. Now in the second installment, I will discuss what happened two weeks ago as GameStop (GME), AMC Entertainment (AMC) and other highly shorted stocks were under a massive coordinated […]
What’s Going On? In all honesty, last week, I wanted to write about the latest hot topic on Wall Street which was the short squeeze perpetuated by some traders gathered on the website Reddit who traded primarily though a popular small investor trading site called Robinhood. However, I was all too busy fielding phone calls, […]
Those many tailwinds which I discussed in My Gut Feeling For 2020 – USMCA, China trade agreement, failed impeachment, and Boris Johnson’s election – that were present as the year began turned to headwinds. First came COVID and all the wrath that it brought upon us. Next came social unrest in the United States. Finally, […]
As 2020 began, I published My Gut Feeling For 2020. Now that 2020 is in the books, I wanted to look back at how my expectations and predictions fared in 2020. Recall these predictions were made in the spirit of the old Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser show in that they were fixed a year […]

As I discussed in my last installment of My Gut Feeling, you were going to have a golden opportunity to sell vaccine related trades when the first person was administered a COVID injection. That occurred on Monday. And, to no surprise, that coincided with a top in the stock price of Moderna (MRNA), and other […]
I was prepared to write an installment of My Gut Feeling (MGF) in time for Thanksgiving, but I had my hands full with the LakeView office renovation. So far, the walls were painted, and new floors were installed. So, I moved my base of operation to another room and worked off my laptop and iPad. […]
The national elections have taken place. Politically, it appears that expectations for a “Scenario 2” outcome is most likely – Joe Biden winning the White House and the Republicans holding the Senate. There are some recounts yet to take place and court challenges to be decided as well as at least one if not two […]
As expected, in the month of September, the markets experienced their first significant correction since those dire days of the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis. This correction especially hit the red-hot growth technology stocks the most. During the month, I unwound hedges and got back to work on identifying opportunities, tactically and strategically across all […]
