drbubb Posted January 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 "CRUSHING IT" "J." commented on my DrB's Diary 7 hours ago, jerpy said: Just need a crystal ball or pin to pick out the true winners in the junior sector ha. Does make sense though. (My response): True. But I think you will agree, I have had a consistent (though imperfect) string of Winners mentioned on this website. GEI is CRUSHING IT with some real consistency! Recent examples, (without even showing the SLV calls I tipped, where I made +235% gain, in about 3 weeks): + Taseko (TKO.t), to $0.80 from $0.55, last month: + Dynacorp Gold (DNG.t), Most recent: $1.71 from $1.60 and $1.58, during the last week; My largest single position, highlighted extensively here was Gran Columbia Gold warrants (GCM.wtb), up over 100% in 2019 You can find numerous other profitable ideas here.

Looks like the record IWM high of 170.07 may be a good target - that's 2.4% above Friday's close of 166 That's 37.0% over the IWM-124 Low. +38.2% above the 124 Low would be: 171.4. So I am targeting: 170-171 for IWM. IWM vs. SPY, XLF ... update / Last: 165.97, 320.73, 30.68 / INDU: 28,445 2.4% over the SPX Close of 3,221 would be: 3,298, Call it SPX-3,300 2.4% over the INDU Close of 28,445 would be: 29,128. Maybe 29.000 or 30,000 as a round number target === STOCKS HAVE REACHED MY TARGETS, what next? IWM is very near its 170+ high. SPY is over 330. INDU is in the 29,000-30,000 range Here's IWM... 3-years / Last: 169.07. Day's High: 170.55 IWN- vs. SPY.

Day.H: 332.18 SPY-335 now looks like a better TARGET than 330 was. : 5-yrs: Last: 331.95 === YES, stock indicies could go higher,. but I will be watching for signs of a faltering rally now. The best time to sell, hedge, or short is NOT when you think we might be hitting a top (since this could be wrong), but AFTER you see clear signs of the rally faltering !

Even older threads that don’t really take off are a source of inspiration. Over the new year, I was looking for Aussie picks and used an old thread as a filter. You’ve had people pick fights over time,  me personally, I think that you nail your colours, shows good character and they generally stand up extremely well against plenty of paid charlatan’s I’m sure. Long may you continue, it’s a generous website you offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 The real bubble? it is in ETF stocks. I have just heard a very fascinating interview about this. I will psot a link here shortly. The argument in the interview is to "look for stocks below the ETF line" (which may not be included in popular indices for a number of reasons.) Wky? because when the MASS SELLING comes, it will be the indices and etfs that get sold. And the stocks in the index will get pound. And the ones outside it, may be relatively unscathed. A very interesting idea, which was well-presented Why We're in the Biggest Financial Bubble in History (w/ Steve Bregman & Mike Green) > == Stocks like KRO, VHI, DHX & WILD.t, that I have been buying recently are "below the etf line" For that matter, GCM.t my favorite Gold stock, has also been outside the GDX & GDXJ index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 MIND THE GAPS ! I will show you one of my favorite gaps right now - and then explain it... First, I need to SET THE TABLE... As you might expect, there is a high degree of correlation between GLD (gold), & TLT (bonds). And even more with LTPZ (Tip Bonds). It is clear in this chart GLD -vs: TLT, LTPZ ... update : $140, -5.00, -3.65%, vs: $140 - 0.0%, $100 - 0.0% Notice that... on Friday, there was a BIG DROP (-3.65%) in GOLD, but not in TLT or LTPZ. this is unusual. and the GAP you see there may be telling us something important. The drop in GLD may be temporary, &/or bond prices maybe be set to drop Q: Perhaps bond prices are finalizing their rise which will lead to a top that won't be revisited for some time to come Sure it could go either way... or maybe the GAP will not fade. Let me tell you how I will play this "narrowing", ie my expectation that the Ratio of GLD-to-LTPZ will narrow Q: Will you go long GLD short LTPZ outright or via options? Valid ideas, (though LTPZ is much less liquid than GLD or TLT.) But I will do something else... SILVER! Or actually, SLV, which is the etf for Silver. I have added it to the chart / update: SLV & GLD, vs: TLT & LTPZ In fact, on Friday near the NY close, I bought $15 Calls on SLV: End-Mar. expiry at $0,77, and Mid-April at $0.91. These are in-the-money Calls with a strike price below the Friday close of $15.53 Previously, back in mid-Dec., : I bought SLV Jan. $15.50 Calls at $0.48 A few weeks later, in three trades, I sold them at an average of $1.59 - for a 231% gain (This is recorded in Real-time comments on my 2020 Tips thread😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonelmustard Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 I'm going to be forced into stocks in the next financial year for the first time in over 30 years but I'm quite looking forward to investing for a dividend return that exceeds the paltry 0.1 something % available on a bank account. The capital loss exposure is my main concern in such uncertain times so I won't be looking for any dodgy penny stocks. Oh !.. look at that 777 posts... Now what was it Christine Lagarde said about 7. ...Can't remember the specifics but I do know it didn't end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
