The Coronavirus And Your Investments. What Should You Do Now?

by Leave a Comment

Should you sell or buy the dip?

In my view the Corona Virus is a catalyst.

It is not the only issue. I do not know which issue will be dominant but I do know…

THE LAW OF THE HARVEST

There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated– D&C 130:20

The law of the harvest is just such a law. It states that if you plant in
the right season. If you plant in good soil, fertilize and have the right
amount of water and sunshine your odds over the long term will be good. Of course every good thing is under attack so you must do the work and fight off the weeds, pests, locusts, critters, weather issues etc.

Your odds are much worse if you plant during the harvest season. Planting when the corn is fully grown, tall with long tassels on the top is a bad
practice and your odds of success are minimal at best.

A study of The Master Cycle in stock prices can help you determine what
season we are in.  Are we in the harvest season or the planting season?

A long term study of stock prices since 1936 can help you identify long
bases in stock prices an indication of  the planting season and stocks that
have risen many times the price at the bottom of the base is an indication of
harvest time. When the price chart goes straight up after rising at an
increasing angle of attack this represents the tassels on the corn. Harvest
time is here.

APPLE Inc.

Microsoft Inc

Now these stocks have topped. What is next?

I believe that once the top occurs investors will seek to buy these great
stocks at a discount at what is perceived to be a great bargain. They may
actually make a fast profit but unless they trade promptly when the rally ends they are likely to be bag holders.

The psychology goes from temporary setback to disbelief to confusion, then
panic and after a year or more back to preparation for another planting season two or three years later. These stocks are simply examples of fully ripe stocks. They may or may not conform to cycle shown next.

The Psychological Pattern

The Siren Song

Traders can find ample opportunities to take advantage of increased
volatility but uninformed investors who are focused on earnings forecasts and future opportunities are likely to experience serious financial pain.

You can learn more about the master pattern by reading the book, “Non
Random Profits” or by visiting the website: https://www.nonrandomprofits.com.

By understanding the master pattern and learning about average gains, mean gains and a bit of Elliot Wave analysis you can have a map that is helpful to avoid planting in the wrong season.

I have spent fifty years focused on this research and I know it is valuable
to those who do the work necessary to come to their own informed conclusion.

After the fact is not as helpful. Prepare now.

I have no current positions in the stock charts above. I am a nimble trader
and may buy issues for inter-day trading. I am risk averse at this time I am very disciplined in risk control. My clients have heavy cash positions today.

Friday Feb 27 at the close of the day about 7 minutes before the close big
buying came in so Monday could be a bounce up day. Perhaps a chance to sell at better prices will com.  But do not become complacent the next big move is down in my opinion.

The SPY ETF Is Now At It’s 200 Day Moving Average.

by Leave a Comment

As we wake up on Thursday morning February 27th after a big market drop this February the SPY is at the 200 day moving average. Often the market bounces from this level. Even if the trend remains down, shorts should be very careful today.

Traders can buy stocks that are not as affected by the coronavirus issues or can trade the SPY long if pressure comes off at this level. This is likely not the buy of a lifetime but a possible short term trade opportunity.

Wait for the turn to begin if you look for opportunity here. Don’t try to catch a falling knife is an expression that applies here. Also, if you invest use a tight stop as risk control and trim your position promptly when you begin to accumulate profits.

The danger here is to the shorts with the market oversold this is a place where a sharp rise may create a short term covering panic.

The rally I was looking for developed after the morning lows. However after a 600 point rally the market ran out of steam and closed below the 200 day moving average. The downtrend may now accelerate and go to a much lower level. clients need to have a plan for risk management. Quality assets are now being revalued.

Computer chess champions cannot beat winning computer chess programs.

Top AI systems can best any investor at trading.

The Renaissance Medallion Fund is the father of quant investing earning over 100 billion dollars since 1980 and earning about 7 billion dollars a year over the past several years as reported in a new best-selling book entitled, “The Man Who Solved the Market”. This fund is the super predator of our age holding assets an average of two days.  If you have noticed the odd behavior of stocks over the past seven years you might just be trading against computers.

Bridgewater Associates LLC. Was the top performing hedge fund in 2018 and not everyone knew, but AI was a performance enhancer to the famed asset allocation management.

Point 72 Asset Management run by Steven A. Cohen is also a top performer using AI.

You can use a top performing AI cloud-based system to enhance your IRA performance. You may do it yourself or use a manager.  IRA’s are excellent because of their ability to compound trading gains without ordinary income taxation.

Trade-Ideas AI system named “Holly” has won recent awards for its excellent performance.

Holly is the only commercially available AI service that has delivered positive alpha over the past four years. Trade-Ideas has recently been awarded Best Machine Learning Development at Fund Intelligence’s 2019 Technology and WSL Awards. This was mostly due to the proven application of the technology to substantially outperform the S&P in 2018.

Holly is an artificial intelligence tool that generates active strategies each day to capture alpha.

The amazing part of its AI performance is that it closes out all trades by the end of each day.

Streetsmart

by Leave a Comment

Streetsmart is an investment management course focused on what is working in today’s markets. Over the past 10 years markets have changed significantly. Investors with 403b and 401k investments often do not recognize the higher level of risk they are taking as markets move higher. Stock investors may not be prepared to hold their own against institutional preditors with quant based systems and insider type advantages that may put them at a disadvantage. The Renaissance Medallion Fund is an example of a super predator that has been reported as making $7 billion per year with an average holding period of two days.

These quant investors are representing more than 70% of all trades.

Have you noticed that your very attractive fundamental stocks start to rise only to lose value very quickly for no apparent reason?

Have you owned a stock which dramatically declines on negative news. You sell to limit losses only to see it rise again right after you have sold it.

These predators feed off the habits of investors. They often know the headlines before you do and are prepared.

Follow the smart money using dark pool prints, option sweeps and AI computations that are just like counting cards at a casino. These tools may give you advantages ordinary investors do not have.

The course is provided in one hour increments on line. It is designed for both the 401k and 403b investor offering the ability to properly monitor and have a plan for risk control on retirement holdings and continues on for investors who spend much more time and money on investing. The courseware provides sophisticated investment information for individual investors, professional investors and investment advisors.

You can read more about these tools by reading the blogs on this website.

Streetsmart is offered by Advisor’s Capital Corp. the holding company of Advisor’s Capital Investments, Inc.

The initial one hour course is free.

Subsequent on line coursework is provided for $19.95 per hour. Based on the value you determine for yourself you may continue or not at your choice.

Learn about a stock pattern that has worked for 80 years with remarkable success. Using this pattern’s history it is possible to intelligently assess risk.

In today’s high market a heavy focus on risk control is needed. Be prepared for the opportunity and difficulties that lie ahead by assessing the value of new tools that are recently proven to offer an advantage for investors that embrace change.
