My 2023 Public Comments and Thoughts

In 2023I will focus a bit more on helping the tradingview community to become better traders and investors
using my approach.

I will use the update feed to post my Comments, Thoughts, and charts about economics, trading, and investing.
I will try to answer questions but am limited in what I can say publicly. Please keep that in mind.
Of course, I will keep making videos and posting charts as I have in the past.

Lastly, remember I am a macro guy both in economics and charting. I like the "set-it-and-forget-it" type of trade.


Thank you to all for your support over the years, let's have a great year making money!

My only prediction for 2023 was that Elon Musk will be removed as CEO of TSLA. We are getting closer to that reality today as TSLA implodes again down 11%

Bear flags flying everywhere but we need more trading days to let things settle.

تعليق:

The finance industry and media have conditioned us to view every dip as a buying opportunity.

Throughout history, 40% of market prices have been spent in a bear market.

The new generation of traders has not yet seen this side of markets.

GME Hits $15.45 now down $5 or lost -25% of its value since I posted this chart.

GME is now down almost 90% since I posted this chart back on March 16, 2021 with no end in sight. The gift that keeps on giving.

تعليق:

The first trade of the year was to close out my NAT GAS trade that I posted back in Sept 2022. I would not be holding anything short at this point.

Long-term declines in the stock market always give way to trendline breaks that move in the opposite direction.

The usual suspects keep falling for this pattern, but by the time they are proven correct, it no longer has a significant impact on their financial situation.

"The Ideas Man"

The "Ideas Man" is someone who constantly comes up with various ideas but lacks the capability to put them into action, as the next "great idea" always takes precedence.

"A Bottom Feeder."

is a person who arrives after an event and suggests to have benefited, even though they never actually made the investment. They don't make predictions publicly and don't have a documented history of their investments. Their expertise lies in 20/20 hindsight

*NY FED: JANUARY EXPECTED HOUSEHOLD INCOME DROP WAS GREATEST IN SURVEY HISTORY

Before the news ever hit about household income there was me telling back in June 2021 this would happen.

تعليق:

The Markets want higher earnings per share. The winds are shifting.

تعليق:

Keep an eye on the 10-year yield. It is important right now.

تعليق:

I see some meat on the bones of some nice short setups.

تعليق:

Many people struggle to hold on to their trades for extended periods because they lack an understanding of how to value stocks, markets, and the economy. Although my "set-it-and-forget-it" approach is effective, it's not widely adopted because many individuals believe that they can increase their profits by frequently trading. However, this is far from the truth. In reality, frequent trading can be detrimental to investment returns due to transaction costs and emotional decision-making.

تعليق:

Back on Jan 2022 I first warned that the Big News was not AAPL & TSLA it was mortgaged US30Y. of course, no one had a clue what I was talking about then. Today they are all "experts" telling you about it.

What I do works in practice, not in theory.

تعليق:

I am seeing a lot of structure problems in the internals

تعليق:

You cannot trade every wave. Even if you are right a couple of times the markets will throw you off the ball and run you over every time.

Make it a rule to only trade in one direction. The trend.

تعليق:

I wonder if anyone is keeping track of my accuracy on my calls? Hm..

تعليق:

if I only had a penny every time some "expert" said "the market priced in a terminal rate of..."

Too many experts out there not enough real traders

Do not overreact to SVB. this is not 2008. You will regret it

تعليق:

Coinbase Exposure is $240 million in Signature Bank, which collapsed earlier today.

If you followed my crypto short setups you have done very well and do not need to chase anything at this point.

If you do try to chase you will be shorting in the hole and playing wackamole.

Patience and discipline are what are required now. Not shotgun predictions, vague hunches, and feeling trades.

تعليق:

As I mentioned back on March 2nd here I see a lot of structural problems in the internals. Now everybody sees the same. Too late to do anything about it. patience!

تعليق:

Market up today. I hope everyone took my advice and did not overreact to SVB. We will have our time in the sun. PATIENCE!

تعليق:

Don't be surprised markets are up following SVB. It is actually a bad thing that markets are rising bc if falling interest rates

TNP Year revenues at $860 million and record profits of $204.2 million (EPS at $6.02 for 2022)

240% increase in annual EBITDA

140% increase in common stock dividend. (Currently 4%)

The stock has risen nearly 250% in a year. 2022 to 2023 while markets have tanked.

But people want to buy $TSLA or $GME

I featured TNP back in Sept 2021 calling it the "last value stock left" and i was right.

These types of stocks don't come by every day but it is important for people to learn more than just lines on a chart to get positive results in trading and investing.

Always difficult for me to explain to someone what has been is not what will always be. As such people are bullish at the top and bearish at the bottom. Bc they lack an understanding of how and why there are shifts in trends.

Markets that move in a straight line up or down are designed to provoke emotions. being rewarded for emotions is the absolute worse thing a trader can experience bc it is negative learning.

Musk's move wiped out anywhere between $4 billion and $20 billion in value, according to analysts and brand agencies. “It took 15-plus years to earn that much equity worldwide, so losing Twitter as a brand name is a significant financial hit,” said Steve Susi, director of brand communication.

Spent $44 billion to buy a company losing money and destroy $4 to $20 billion of it by changing a logo alone.

Genius!

My thought on FITCH. Long overdue for the credit downgrade. Is it the end of the world? Of course not. The US is still #1. with 4.5% of the global population producing 25% of global GDP. Remarkable! That's why the dollar is king!

However, FITCH is right we are headed in the wrong direction. Anyone who believes deficit spending 8% of GDP at max employment annually is sustainable has their head up their ARS!

CPI Food away from home: +20.5%
CPI New Cars: +21.6%

CPI Gas Utilities: +34.1%
CPI Gasoline: +34.1%
Actual Home Prices: +39.6%
CPI Used Cars: +42.1%
CPI Fuel Oil: +59.2%

Inflation growth coming down does not mean inflation is falling

Unsustainable for wages to keep going like this. Eventually, reality will hit.

People are quickly finding out that sharp move up are not really bullish. They are designed to provoke emotions out of pikerd to FOMO so the market can then rip their face off.

No better example than the 3 bull traps GME "enthusiasts" suffered back to back to back recently.

This works every time bc most do not have the ability to value assets. They only know lines on a chart, pretty colors, storytellig in conjuction with collective reinforcement that astrology really does work.

Untill they fifure out it doesn't really work and give up bc they blew their account or they rather put their money else where. By then 2 more pikers have come along only to repeat the same exact mistakes.

Median cost to buy a house hits a new record of $2,748/mo, up a MASSIVE 90% since 2020.

In other words, buying a house today costs nearly $33,000 per year.

This is 46% of the median PRE-TAX household income in the US.

Post-tax, homebuyers in the US are spending nearly 70% of their income on home payments.

Meanwhile, the median monthly apartment rent just hit a fresh record of $1,859/mo.

Families don't have endless credit to consume and boost company rev. And EPS. This won't end well.

So I’ve read MS Jonas note on TSLA multiple times now..

The price target from $250 to $400 is solely related to “dojo”, which does not functionally exist, generates zero revenue, and would need to rely on third party vendors relative to hardware..

If you do a search for the word "Dojo" in TSLA 10-Qs/Ks, you'll come up with exactly *zero* results.

Anyone who takes MS Adam Jonas's "Dojo" report on TSLA seriously should read this excerpt from a conference call with clients in May 2019.

He called TSLA a "distressed credit story" and said deliveries would miss (they didn't).

The stock was at $12.84 that day.

This is what market manipulation looks like folks.welcone to trading!

1. Stop trying to know-it-all.

2. Don't worry about what others are thinking.

3. Learn how to be your own analyst and make informed decisions.

4. Adjust and manage along the way.

Markets are in trouble. I will just leave it at that.

CAUTION!

تعليق:

For the last two years, I have been posting and updating trade after trade after trade with a high success rate. So many trades that I have almost lost track of myself.LOL!

In this post, I will make a list for you all to see the results. Just hit the search function on my page and hit the play button to see the outcome :) Remember I am a long-term trader and don't care much for a few percentage points. I care about big waves with big returns. Set it and forget type trading.

While I do not run a mutual fund and it would be ridiculous for me to take all the trades, it does demonstrate very effectively how BKC (Bear Knuckle Charting) and macroeconomics complement each other to produce profitable outcomes. The trades I take are the ones that best suit the personality of my portfolios.
here is the list.

TSLA MSFT AMC EWZ NATURALGAS
NVDA QQQ US2000 SUGAR DBA
AMZN NIO CLH US10Y SPCE
BTC JBLU CEW US02Y IPO
ETH META VEU XLF IHG
NFLX CN50US PAVE XLU LMT
AAPL CQQQ MATIC TNP BA

CHRTUSDT INRUSD PINS NMR TRJEFFCRB
GREK BKF IBM DXY CRSP
ARKK NKE KRE GBPUSD WHEAT
GME TRYUSD DAL EURUSD NIFTY
EGPT JNK BRLUSD DOGE AFRM

And countless others in Economic Data. That is a lot of responsibility to get right and not look like a fool! Yet the success rate is very high. Once again proving that BKC and Macro work extremely well! Simple plain charts and free economic data anyone can find on the net.

Indices, Commodities, Crypto, Bonds, Real Estate. Stocks, ETF it doesn't matter to BKC and macro. The method is the same. Let the charts and data tell you what is going on and not you guessing or trying to tell the data what is going on.

A big thank you to all of my 3111 followers for your support and kind words. Humbled!!! :)
