BUY LIST UPDATE: The weekend is coming up & we still have uncertainty leaking out of Ukraine. Lets not add today, prior to a weekend where anything could happen. Markets across the world are red. At the moment the BUY LIST is down on average 8% from initial buy in prices. There is certainly plenty of value there, given my strategy that you all know well by now (Buying reliably profitable companies, trading at relative value, on a pullback of little to no consequence, with decent intuitional investment, & primed for growth under favorable economic conditions). There’s just no going long around a war without experiencing some red folks (Certainly a change in economic conditions). Nature of the beast. Buy in small, keep money to the side, average down when it hurts, & sell call’s for a small bit of income while you’re waiting for the position to flip. There are some other strategies posted below.

MARKET UPDATE: February unemployment & nonfarm payrolls will be reported today … & they may just be good. Note that February was when many of the pandemic restrictions were being rolled back. Markets across the world were red last night as Russian forces attacked a nuclear power plant in Ukraine. It seems as though all is well, & this is behind us, however this story is still developing. Certainly the algo’s don’t like any headlines with “war” or “sanctions” in them … let alone “nuclear fallout,” or “radiation.”

IMPORTANT: Right now you can bet your ass that big money is hedging, & the market activity reflects as much. They honestly don’t care where the market goes in the short run, & neither should we. They have puts covering their long positions & they’re selling calls against the underlying for some money while they’re waiting for their positions to flip (I have a video on this). In some cases they’re going long & short on the same equity (which retail cannot do), or going long/short on two like companies (which retail can do). The creativity utilized by big money is derived from years of experience, & retail can learn a lot from them.

For those of you afraid to go short in a market like this, the feeling is natural. Retail traders hate risking margin calls. However, there are ways you can go short while eliminating the possibility of a margin call … & its quite easy. You go short 100 shares & buy an at the money or slightly above the money call. No matter how high the price goes on your short position, the most you can lose is what you paid for the call (& perhaps a little more on the spread between the strike & current stock value). In many cases this can pay for your call (a free call). Then you can cover your short position prior to either selling or holding the free call. If, however, you have a broker that doesn’t let you short (Like Robinhood), its time to change brokers! HERE is my referral code. Yes, you can transfer current stock positions. But if you cannot short, you don’t have a solid broker! Going short is a CRITICALLY ESSENTIAL TOOL! You want it at your disposure!

Moreover there is nothing wrong with buying 100 shares & buying a put in many circumstances … unless you think the stock is going to immediately skyrocket (rarely does this ever happen). Even so, if it goes higher than what you paid for the put, you profit. If it goes down & you still like the stock, you make money on the put which somewhat offsets your losses on the stock. Then you will benefit from the eventual reversal more so than if you just bought & held. There’s a lot more to consider when implementing such strategies above, but I have an intelligent subscribership.

Headwinds Ahead: I have a responsibility to warn my subscribers that bullish companies are going to be increasingly hard to find in this environment. I therefore owe it to you to scrutinize my picks more than ever as a result of REAL headwinds. The quick turnarounds we were accustomed to in the past are simply not going to happen in this economy. A swing that may take a month or two last year may take a quarter or two this year. Therefore I think it prudent to buy in slow & only average down when it hurts. Most companies remain profitable, but an adjustment in long term valuations & expectations are necessary. I will trade accordingly.
