A sample $10k portfolio to start out 2023 with - Market update - 12-30-22
I start the episode off with a look at bonds - super unexciting, but in the new year, I like what I see and Fidelity offers such a great way to buy them and view your solid backstop.

Optimize your taxes is the same as a 20% trade - Market update -12-28-22
I sold 6 figures worth of losses in these stocks yesterday and sold gains to even out to zero gains. It's painful to lose money, but because I got caught in some long trades that didn't work out well, I was able to take some gains in stocks that have worked out well. I can then redeploy that money in 2023 in to sectors and stocks that are working.
Remember - I’m 52 and I’ve held more

Vz - might be time to look at it … trading at same price it’s been in 2007 and 1997 where it was trading at 17 times earnings … it’s now half that … looks like maybe a good trade and maybe a hold for a while

Top stocks picks for 2023 - Market update - 12-23-22
Here are the stocks that are top picks by Wall Street for 2023 and their 2 year performance.
$GOOG - 2021 - up 67% - YTD - down 39%
$AMZN - 2021 - up 1% - YTD - down 50%
$AAPL - 2021 - up 33% - YTD - down 25%
$MSFT - 2021 - up 52% - YTD - down 29%
$META - 2021 - up 24% - YTD - down 65%
With all of this down - they have been named as top picks for 2023 by many Wall Street firms
I look at $SPY and why there's no confirmation to buy in to this market right now.
$CLF - higher steel prices - lower cost - I was wrong - catalyst - moves to a $20 price target
$tsla - elon says absolutely no stock sales in 2023 and maybe not 2024 - great spaces that I listened to yesterday … it was amazing and had such great content
Stock buyback doesn’t make sense until they see the depth of the recession.
He also stands by his prediction that tesla will be the most valuable company in the world
$gdx for Jackie on Instagram
$nflx branching out and offering $nke fitness classes and this is bearish for $pton
Someone on spotify asked me about options …. I don’t trade options but many listeners use my swing price targets to trade options
$Tsm may set up European factory
$Kold is still going strong - $boil to $8
Futures dropped off after durable goods orders and personal spending down - every piece of bad news means recession - every good news means the Fed will continue tightening - you just have nothing that can be viewed as positive in the economy.
.4% increase in income - .1% in cost of goods meant we have a .3% in real income increase.

Historically, the final five trading days of the year and the first two of the new year tend to be strong. According to chartist Larry Williams, Thursday may be the time to buy.

You dont have to cover it right away in the podcast...but I have a few scenarios of covid darlings that are beaten down crazy and I am debating if I should DCA or sell and harvest loss. For e.g $MTTR I hold 1500

Hey Gary. I'm listening to pod now and I'm curious if you could give opinion on $osk, algo has in at 86.83 and it's at 88ish currently
Twitter
So I emailed you about $VKTX. I think this one could go to 16. What does chart show? Remember it is in the same small category of biotech treating liver disease like MDGL. I sold most of $MDGL yesterday. I don't think much left there after this pop. VKTX?
And $vrdn
$TSLA - Carter wroth who is the chart master says it’s a buy now
Ziptrader Charlie went over $tsla
$COST - cross up - looks strong
$WMT - cross up - looks strong
$SNOW - cross up - not as strong, but I do like the stock.
$CEG - looks strong in that channel I posted
$BA strong move

I imagine others would enjoy hearing your insights as well! Here are my questions, specifically speaking to $boil and $KOLD, $Soxl and $Soxs and finally $TQQQ and $SQQQ. If I am correct these inherently depreciate in value over time so what is a good indicator that it has moved to a lower price channel? Specifically, how many times of breaking the lower resistance level would you say indicates it's in a new price channel? If something dips for a day comes back up to normal price channel levels, I realize that can just be an anomaly.
Secondly, when are these specific etfs thought to completely die off?
Does anyone who has written their own algo want to be a Trendspider’s affiliate? I can sign you up if so.
$MU missed like I said … not sure where the catalyst is - Soxs - all bad news
$Kmx down 12% after huge miss on earnings

$NKE killed earnings and market is looking positive. With it down this much, we could be looking at an up swing for the rest of the week with some good news.
$Mrna way up again
$Wfc
$Bac
$Boil $kold
$Soxl $Soxs
$Tqqq $sqqq
$Nke up - beat earnings - up almost 12% - I said to buy it under $100 before - of course I didn’t 🧐
$Fdx beat earnings - up 4% - revenue fell short but it beat - also announced almost a billion in cost cuts - they also said a declining demand outlook will continue
$Tsla in first round of job cuts and will see more in 2023 according to sources - gap fill
S&P many strategists have it at 3400 - $SPY = $340
$Mu set to report and options are guessing it’s 5% lower by the end of the week
Tom from Twitter - With coal, there are some better symbols than $BTU..... I like $ARCH and $CEIX even more than BTU. Arch currently trading at about 140 dollars. Fair value is 200 dollar or more. Including all special extra dividends this year ARCH has distributed more than 25 dollars per share.
think it would be very valuable for your listeners to consider there may be more upside in oil service providers than oil companies themselves. In addition to $HAL, $SLB, and $RTX that all crushed today, look at $ACDC, $PTEN, $CHX, and $FTI and $OIH etf. I own all these.

Went to check some oil/ energy stocks before bed.
The algo has been triggered on a few of them.
$DVN - entry, long 59.60
$MRO- entry, 27.31
$PXD-entry, 219.65
$FANG-entry, 135.22
$DVN in my opinion is my favorite out of all of them
$DRN / $DRV - DRV has been the clear winner
Nfl going with YouTube….. bullish for $goog
SCANS
$MARA - still no confirmation though
$MNST - this may be good for puts for all options players
