[Trade alert] It’s Harvest Season

September 25, 2017 by Don Roth

It's harvest season and that means it's time to harvest some gains. We dumped a few single digit losers earlier this spring. But that's what we do; we get rid of losers early and let the winners run. Since then we've cashed in on several double digit winners. Here's a few more: Albemarle Corp (ALB) daily ​​​​​​​ Price is up about 9% from our recommendation on July 26. Sell it and harvest gains. It looks like price has another 5% to the downside to test support. We can always re-ent … [Read more...]

Hey! You! Get Off of My Cloud

September 25, 2017 by Don Roth

Did you know that hyper inflation in Venezuela is so crazy that you have to bring a backpack filled with $100 bolivars to buy a $5 lunch. Or, you actually wire the funds before you show up. Hard to believe but true. Bitcoin is going crazy in Venezuela. I suppose to escape the inflation and government control of the currency the citizens are forced to go crypto.

[Trade Alert] What? No Pullback?

September 18, 2017 by Don Roth

I'm adding a little to SPY today. I'm tired of waiting for the mysterious Mr. Pullback Breather to show up. He is usually late but he is really late this time. Maybe he died?

As I do, I will notify you the day before I add. By the way, I always make my trades between 9am and 10:30am … [Read more...]

Our portfolio keeps grinding higher

September 12, 2017 by Don Roth

All open positions continue to grind higher with some making new all time highs. HOLD. I like our current exposure and diversification. You will notice only two out of fourteen open positions are individual stocks with the rest in ETF's. I prefer ETF's over individual stocks at this time considering the US market is a bit frothy. Frothy can last for a long time though. Frothy is a technical term by the way. :) I would prefer to wait for a pullback before loading up on individual stocks. … [Read more...]

Crypto Currencies

September 10, 2017 by Don Roth

I don't know enough about Bitcoin or all the other digital currencies to render an opinion. I do think I will buy a small amount soon. I will let you know. I keep reading stuff about it but I'm still confused. So, I just keep reading. Here's a short read that I found interesting enough to share... https://pensionpartners.com/the-evolution-of-money/ My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in IRMA's path. Don … [Read more...]
