  • The Market’s Up, The VIX’s Down, But Risks Abound

    ​ Bears Drowning In Sea Of Green “‘Sea Of Green;: Bears Crushed As Stocks Storm Above 50% Fib Retracement” That ZeroHedge headline from Friday’s close would have seemed unlikely a few months ago, when former Fed wunderkind Zoltan Pozsar warned that the Fed needed stocks to fall further to fight inflation. Yet here we are, […]

  • ROKU Bounces Back

    On Friday, after Roku Inc. (ROKU) plunged 23%, Cathie Wood’s ARK Investments bought ROKU shares in a few of its ETFs, including its flagship Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK). So far, that has proven to be a smart move, as ROKU shares have regained most of their losses from last Friday. One advantage of hedging in […]

  • ROKU Shareholders Learn A Hard Lesson

    Here Comes Another Lesson “Hey, Professor!” Charles turns around to see a very short, very wide man stamping and scraping his feet on the cinders. His blunt, wide head is lowered beneath his mountainous shoulders, and a massive nose ring loops between his snorting nostrils. “Who are you? asks Charles. “I’m a real angel,” says the man. […]

  • Riding The Natural Gas Rollercoaster

    (Originally published on July 16th, 2022) Natural Gas Climbs Back After crashing by about 25% at the end of last month, natural gas has regained momentum this month. In my personal account, I bought at-the-money puts on the ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (KOLD) when it hit $40, and then sold them (too soon) for a […]

  • Surviving An Ugly First Half

    An Awful First Half For Stocks The first half of 2022 featured a perfect storm of headwinds for stocks: by January, inflation was at a 40-year high.  Then came Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine in late February, and, following that, Western sanctions on Russia that exacerbated already-high inflation. Add to that the Fed raising interest […]
