Oil is back - where do you invest? - Market update 7-7-22
I talk about recessions, energy and the Fed notes today and include some of my favorite stock plays.
$REV - crazy pop yesterday with confirmation and validation
$PXD - selling at 7 times forward earnings and they make money over $40/barrel - even if oil stays at $100/barrel - you're only selling at 7 times earning and they will either return the money via a dividend or buy back stock.
$UCO / $SCO - $UCO is oversold - oil will come back
$DVN - dipped under $50 - buy it under $60 and sell over
$OXY - same as $DVN
$CLF - could have gotten it at $14 yesterday - I think anything in the $15 range before earnings is good - but still a gamble because of rising costs and inflation pricing pressure on commodities
$UNH - get it under $500 - don't touch it until earnings - but they will announce another great quarter and you'll see a 52 week high
$SPXU $SQQQ and $SARK are still in play IMO - I like these as they go down because I don't think we're done going down.
$GME - stock split - old news - play for the volatility
$TSLA - I'm nervous about earnings but we just had a MacD cross up - buy under $700 - sell over
$RIVN - up on delivery announcement - hype play
$RIO - commodities may be coming back - 13% dividend is great
$FANG - still no cross up but I like energy since it's beaten down
$GS - selling at book value - analysts all say buy when it's at that price - may be an earnings bounce
$TQQQ - this has been the play and I said buy it - you've made your 10% on this one.
Cross ups:
$CRM - interesting but I've been burned on it
$LCID - it's a hype play but the algo has done great on this name in particular
$MTR - energy with a huge dividend
$BOIL - nat gas may start to run here now
$DG - crazy good returns on this, but since it's so high, I would stay away - there are better stocks to make money on than chase new 52 week highs.

Quite a few opportunities today in the algorithm - Market update 7-6-22
I did a market scan and found quite a few opportunities. I continue to say this market will sell down so $SPXU $SQQQ $SARK and $UVXY should still be in play.
$GS - trading at book value - this is huge
$MRNA - wow - good trade but take profits at $155.
Oil is tanking - could go as low as $65 so stock up on the oil stocks as I think we will see it go back to $120
$KOLD and $BOIL are still plays
$JPM - cross up
$TWTR - cross up
$QCOM - cross up
$ARKK - cross up
$ARKW - cross up
$ARKF - cross up
$IGM - cross up - I really like this ETF
$UPST - cross up
$XLK - cross up
$CLF - it's tanking but I like this one below $15
$TQQQ - this has a 100% win rate in July based on the last 12 years. August is good as well.

Shorting this market still makes sense - Market update 7-5-22
Use tools like $SPXU $SQQQ $SARK and $UVXY for days like today when the market is down.
Energy and $META will be the 2nd half plays I think.
Energy is down today since the fears of inflation become more real. Commodities go down when fear of inflation goes up because of demand slow down.
$MCD - $1 drinks are now $1.53. Could be a boom for the stock with them being able to raise their prices.
$CLF - Njarian on CNBC bought some along with Farmer Jim. He sold calls out in the future to collect $1/mo in premium based on the volatility so he will make money on the trade.
$QCOM down at $120 - this is such a good stock that will renegotiate with $AAPL
$NVDA - touching $140 - I love it here (AGAIN)
$DRV - this is going back to $60
$RIO - another commodity loss - get out if you have gotten in.
Nat Gas will go back to $8 IMO - $KOLD and $BOIL
$OXY $DVN $XOM $CVX $FANG - all down because of energy fears of inflation
Still love $LOW and $TGT based on valuation

Tesla quarterly deliveries - Market update 7-1-22
The worst start to the year since 1970 - good news if you're a fan of history for the 2nd half of the year.
I continue to say you should be in $SPXU $SQQQ and $UVXY
Be careful with commodities with fear of recession.
Some new dividend plays discussed:
$GTY - 6% dividend
$IRM - 5% dividend
$MPW - 8% dividend
$O - 4% dividend
$SPG - 7% dividend
$VICI - 5% dividend
$WPC - 5% dividend
I think great long term values are $LOW and $TGT with great dividends along the way
$RIO $DVN $CVX $XOM $CLF $LNG and other commodities may be hurt by the fears of a recession
$NVDA under $150 is a great option here too
$BAC - could it go under $30?
$SARK - I like this one more than the $ARKK
Heading in to a long weekend - be careful

$SPXU $SQQQ $SARK $UVXY - all of these have been my picks - Market update 6-30-22
I go over a TON of stocks on this one as it's long, but remember what I recommend. $SPXU $SQQQ $SARK $UVXY.
$BRK.B
$PAA $CTO - 7% dividend yields
$MCD $UNH led the dow yesterday
$UPST - no longer one of my favorites
$NVDA - I love this one here, but I fear you've got a little more downside. Don't time it for long term though - get it under $150 if you can.
$TSLA - under $700 - but I feel the delivery number may be light so don't load up before that comes out.
$CLF - commodities like iron ore worry me - I still think their earnings are going to be a catalyst
$ENPH - I like this one as it's been beaten down.
$RH - consumers are weak now - brought down guidance and tanked all retail $XRT may be a good opportunity but I still like $M
$BITI - short Bitcoin - more downside
$BHAT and $REV may be done with as far as runs, but day trading is a good opportunity
$FANG $MPC $OXY $DVN $UCO $XOM $CVX $XLE - I think long side energy is still the right play
$AMD - I like this with the forward PE so low
$SBUX - with China opening and a dividend increase - this may be a good time to get back in
$HD $TGT $WMT $LOW all high yields and good upside for 2nd half
$MSFT $AAPL $AMZN $GOOG $META $NFLX - I like these for 2nd half - specifically $GOOG
$NLY - 14% yield - interesting here
$AA
$BMRN
$DDOG
$XM

Short the S&P with $SPXU which is triple levered - Market update 6-29-22
I contend that we are in a trading range of 3,000 to 3800 on S&P - that would mean we are just going down. There really isn't good news in the market and there's going to be more downside. I think we go to 3,000 as the earnings revisions are brought down through mid July with maybe a stop at 3500. I think $SPXU, $SQQQ and $UVXY are good for swing trades.
$DAL and $TSLA indicate to me that we are going to have a travel nightmare this weekend.
$TSLA also at the delivery center yesterday - there was no hype and no energy. Look for it to go towards low $600's here.
$DRV - short real estate - I like this one long too.
$RIO - MacD Cross up - commodities have been crushed
$DVN - above $60 so look for weakness to sell.
$MU on earnings - I'm less hyped on it. I have a fear they will bring guidance down.
$UCO - I like this to $55
$CVX - Cross up
$XOM - Cross up
$OXY - be careful and look for weakness to sell
$OAS - cross up
$FANG - cross up
$PXD - cross up
$MPC - cross up
$QCOM - $AAPL failed at 5G chips and will have to resign the contract with $QCOM - big news
$WEAT - I think this goes up
$GOOGL $GOOG - I like this with the $2200 level
$GIS - not ready to buy yet, but with food shortage this will be great
$REV - kiss of death with a CNBC update
$MPLX - cross up
$XLF - I like this
$NVDA - I think anything in the $150 range is a great long term buy - it might dip to $140's, but this is long term
$NKE - under $100 it's a buy with China opening
$TSLA - again - should have sold at $750
$CLF - commodities are getting killed and if in the $15 range - I like it with earnings coming up
$TGT - love this on the 2nd half guidance at $140
$ZIM - I'm unsure of this just because of large inventories, but it's almost trading at it's fair value
$FTNT - I like this based on the value and recent split
$ABBV - not a buy now, but you can hold it for the dividend
$SPG - under $100 - buy it
$MRNA - without Congressional funding - stay away from it
$FDX - first investor day in 10 years
$ARKG - should have sold at $34 - I see weakness

Energy isn't done - oil is running - Market update 6-28-22
Oil will go to $140/barrel. Leaders of the world are talking about it now and knowing that supply just can't increase in the next 6 months while demand is going to soar with China opening and Russian oil embargo.
Today's stocks:
$MU - love this in to earnings
$CVX - cross up - buy below $150
$XOM - cross up - get it under $90
$DVN - it's over $60 on the cross up so expect it to go back to $70
$OXY - over $60 - take your 10% and move on when you have it.
$FANG - love it - great opportunity on the pending cross up
$PXD - I think it's going back to $270
$MPC - Cross up
$UVXY - the VIX is going to 24 and then will shoot back over 30. Buy $UVXY at $13 now.
$BOIL - I think Nat Gas is going back up now - $KOLD had a great run.
$UCO is going back to $55. I like it just like the other oil companies above
$META - anything under $200 is still my guidance
$GOOG - if you can get it in the $2200 price range, it's a great long term buy
$SNOW - up 18% MTD - I like it back to cover the gap above $200 now
$CLF - if you can get it under $16 I like it - but I think we are going to $20 from here with their earnings
$QCOM - it's Forward PE is 9 - great opportunity here
$NVDA - great long term buy
$UNH - I think we are heading below $500 again so if you have profits - take them
$AAPL - Trendspider has a fair value gap and Apple is in that now
$RIO - cross up - I like this going to $70
$BABA - will it run again? The RSI is very high - but what a run it's had
$WEAT - the RSI is too low - this has to go back to $10
$XLF - I like it now that the banks have passed the stress test and some have upped their buybacks and dividends.
$MPLX - Cross up at $29 - I own it and love it with that dividend.

Earnings week kicks off - I love this one stock that reports Thursday - Market update 6-27-22
$NKE kicks off earnings today.
JP Morgan thinks this week we are up 7%.
$LOW, SWK, PII, VFC, and MO are five of the highest quality and most undervalued dividend aristocrats.
Meta $MU and INCY, $VFC, and $$MO are five of the highest quality and most undervalued dividend aristocrats.
$Meta $MU and $INCY
$TSLA - what do I think of this stock?
$UCO or $SCO?
$KOLD or $BOIL?
$CVX $DVN $OXY $XOM $FANG - which ones are crossing up?

Jun 24, 2022 • 54min
BHAT is crazy again - as is REV - can you trade these? - Market update - 6-24-22
$MRNA is watchable now
$ENB - huge dividend beaten down energy stock I like
$VIG - high dividends and a beaten down ETF
$SHOP - huge moves in the last few days
$BHAT - WOW
$REV - up again
Ibonds - listen to Suzee Orman podcast - Masterclass on them
$SNOW - should have bought at algo $120
$FCX - I'll watch this as I think it's unfairly beaten down - someone bought big on the July $33 calls
$EWC - interesting Canada ETF with energy and financials - big buy on $31 Sept puts
$XLE - Oct $52 puts big buy - could mean more downside, but I don't think so
$TSLA - buy under $700
$ZEN - purchase at $77/share

$UVXY - VIX is going back to 30

$QCOM - I can't believe it's this low
$ARKG - up 10% since I mentioned the MacD cross up earlier this week

What stock is now paying a 17% dividend? - Market update 6-23-22
In the middle of recording this, I wound up getting a phone call and upon my return I did an entire podcast, but I forgot to hit record. So instead of editing and going back, I did my best to continue after that, but if I missed anything, hit me up on Twitter and I'll cover it tomorrow.
I go over my theory that we're in a range for the S&P between 3000 - 3800 and 3500 has a support level. I think you can use $SPXU $TQQQ $SQQQ and other tools to trade within this range.
I also think the VIX wants to be at $35 - use $UVXY - it is at 29 at open - I think it could go to 25, but it def will hit 35 in the next few weeks. There's just too much bad news out there.
$SCO and $KOLD have been the winners for the last week - BIG winners. I think $UCO and $BOIL have been oversold and will look to bounce here, but all the politicians of the world trying to bring oil and energy prices down is what's killing the stocks.
$VEGI and $XME have been beaten down and are good swing trade ideas
$REV - trade this one. It's super volatile and look for confirmation before buying in, but its' great for scalping.
$RIO - this one has been beaten down and has a great dividend.
$OXY - Bershire and Buffett bought more - I like it under $60 buy and over $60 sell - just like $DVN but I like $FANG when it gets confirmation.
