You've got learn how to hedge your portofolio. Here's a simple explanation.
Why ? Good hedge funds make money when the markets go up and DOWN.
And as retail investors we need to tap into that potential.
Exactly. There are posts all over the place with people complaining but money is made when the market is UP and DOWN.

It is a shame how low the financial literacy rate is, not only amongst the general public but especially with the so-called black community.

Could have made a killing by listening to Ray Dalio but emotions got the better of me
The saying is true "Buy Options insurance when it's cheap"



The 2 SPX Dec 18 1080 puts that I bought for 0.95 and exited due an error during order entry on Feb 28 are now worth 17.35.
That's a 1800 % gain that I left :smh:

SO I today pocketed a small gain on the SPY may 15 185 put.

Nice bump,@Efkie.

I posted in other threads but the food delivery stocks have all gone through the roof the last couple of days. Might have to start another thread to alert brothas on what is being picked up on equity scanners so they can trade and profit since the retirement funds are getting destroyed.

I think it will continue for at least a year
If the virus outbreak stabilizes then I think commodities (oil) will go up in the short term
US Oil is done unless Saudi Arabia gets a “wake up call”. Russia is the reason for it but America wouldn’t dare go after Putin.

Casinos - check the balance sheets. I can see companies like $PENN going to $0 unless they are acquired by another company. $LVS and $WYNN are the most stable.

cruise lines - check the balance sheets. Check their liquidity and debt, especially short term. Some will fold but others will rise the all time highs when the dust settles.

this will be more profitable than the crypto boom if brothas play it right in half the time, just check how the Corona plays I posted performed in February.

Actually, brotha, I am playing day by day. I am in full swing trader mode and not even thinking long until coronavirus settles.

only thing long I am is $DWT. (It is volatile but basically a short of the oil industry, when oil prices go down, it goes up)

Swinging $APRN but I bought in the $5s so I would not advise it but $WTRH is running hard and it is just $2.40 in AH.

depends on your style but for coronavirus plays i’ve added

$IBIO
$BMRA (up big today so expect pull back soon or offering)
$APT

So what's going to happen with th economy and stock market ? :dunno:
I can only tell you to pay attention to the news but not the usual places like CNBC, Bloomberg etc.

The Smart Money
Real Vision Finance
Macro Voices

If you don't understand what the above channels are talking about check out George Gammon
He explains the information of the earlier mentioned channels in a way so that you and I can understand.

These videos are from a couple of months ago....but look at what's happening now.




This information (especially from macrovoices) is important because it's gives you a probabilty where the puck (economy, stock market etc.) is going to be.
And this information can be used to setup a potential trade

TLDR.
Buy gold for insurance.

Why are precious metals down ?


Simply said the BIG BOYS have margin calls and therefore had to sell their positions in GOLD.

Also think about this
Silver price beaten down but investors can’t find any, so what’s going on

I will comeback with a response on your 2nd remark.

UPDATE
Having everything in cash is OK....
but the FED is printing money like crazy so you'll watch out that you cash is not losing value
try to figure out which stocks /investmments you want to own for the LONG term and that pay you
and perhaps buy them

$APT
$BMRA up another 100% so far
$WTRH up another 100% today.

crazy how the other thread has people saying these markets are dead and the astute brothas are doubling their money daily on this coronavirus hype.

props to all those that are able to isolate from the distractions, keep a clear head, and navigate through the tough times.

Last month I ignored a tip from a strong source that begged me to SHORT every casino, airline and other travel industry stock I could bet money on. Some of the stocks I had been monitoring have since free falled over the past few weeks: Eldorado Resorts (ERI) from $70+ last month to SIX yesterday, Royal Carribean (RCI) from $135+ last month to NINETEEN yesterday, Sprit Airlines (SAVE) from $45+ to SEVEN yesterday.

Better late than never, I decided yesterday to go YOLO and jump on the dead cat bounce: went *LONG* on the IMO strongest casino stock Las Vegas Sands (LVS) @~35 and strongest airline stock Alaska Air Group (ALK) @~21. (Anyone touching cruise line stocks now is a FOOL.) Revisit this thread next month and let's see how I do.

:please:

PS: I also grabbed some Red Rock Resort (RRR) yesterday @~3 and dumped it today @~6 when the price broke my sell stop. Quickly doubled my money but maybe I should have held on.... :dunno:

ETA: I'm publicly recommending Brothers look at casino stocks in general and LVS in particular. Trump is going to make sure his corporate buddies are taken care of, and LVS is in by far in the best financial shape. Once the casinos open back up, I predict that stock will skyrocket!

A lot of dumping today with oil up. $UWT is a oil volatility index stock that goes up 3x when oil prices rise. That and $DWT are ones to watch but they are extremely volatile.
