Mark Decombre of ‘Market Watch posted an article this weekend, ‘Is the market crashing? No.’ Many such blogs and articles appeared in response to the market falling almost 7% in the last few weeks. The false scenario that some of these bloggers push is that the market will continue to drop, based only on what […]

Scanning over the reasons to buy each stock, the logic seemed justified. However, only about half of these stocks are growing while the others are sinking. I’m getting worried that my own reasons for picking stocks, or anyone’s reasoning for that matter is not supported by the actual market outcome. The winners: Goosehead Ins, Tiptree, […]

Spot Lumber has crashed from a high of $1,686 11 days ago to $1,264 today, a 25% drop. Stocks such as Weyerhaeuser (WY) are sliding down slightly. Several weeks ago I left a note here about the massive re-hiring of lumber mill workers who were laid off due to covid, thus causing lumber prices to […]

Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LPX) $66.71 has doubled since January and will see no change in this rise soon. This trend is across the whole industry. Another example, WFG $85.04 has tripled since June 2020. Just google “lumber spot price” to see what’s going on. Now $1,295 it has gone up 400% since a year ago. What […]

On Microblog: Alex Koyfman's Lithium-ion battery killer in Microcap Insider

Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) in Australia has been researching graphene batteries for several years now. Their stock has steadily fallen from $5.50 a year and half ago to $1.60 now. Research is costly and generates no revenue to get the interest of [...]

Good sell with that Symbiotic (SYM). A surge is followed by a steady down trend in many cases. It's a week later as I write this and SYM has drifted down 20%.[...]

On Friday File: Another Bet on Electrical Infrastructure

About the investors that made NVIDIA rise 20% two weeks ago, what indications did THEY have? Every market analysis report in the popular media said the NVIDIA is too risky, it's going to fall. BUT, then, on May 25 it rocketed up 20%. What did these invest[...]

On Tilson's "$2 Inflation Stock" -- Did This Stock "Just Bottom?"

On May 31, Whitney Tilson said “there’s a good chance this stock just bottomed" after the May 12th bottom of $2.38. It has continued to "bottom" at around $2.38 five times since that, never getting higher than $3.50. But at least it hasn't dropped muc[...]

On De-tease: Luke Lango's "Single Phone Call" pitch

ASTS goes up quickly when there is good news, like a few days ago when the satellite arrived at Cape Canaveral, then drops 10% over the next few days as short-term investors take profits. Looks like a good bet to wait until Sept 9th (the earliest window fo[...]

On Microblog: spine pain

A product which reduces back pain will be a HUGE winner. 16 million adults in the USA suffer from chronic back pain. ReGelTec is currently funded by only 3 parties to the tune of about $6M. No news on the website of a future IPO. If the do go public I'll [...]

On What's the "$5 Stock That Could Make Apple The Next EV Giant?"

"self driving" frequently comes to mind when I'm driving. This morning at a 4-way stop I made a quick head nod to the guy on my right. He proceeded first then I went. I thought, as always, "can AI do that?" Answer: No.[...]

On What's the "$5 Stock That Could Make Apple The Next EV Giant?"

Autonomous driving is sooooo Bay Area. Like Pavlov's Dog, when a Sil-Valley nerd hears "electric car" they automatically think, "self driving car". They can't help it; their cult has programmed them. I was entertained then, when I read the quote from Luke[...]

On Microblog: Is the market crashing? NO.

The trend in my OP is continuing. Based on this, we'll see the DOW continue to rise to about 37,100 on about March 6, then fall to about 34,600 around Apr 1, then it will start to rise again.[...]

On Microblog: Is the market crashing? NO.

Now it's 5 days after my original post. The DOW is on an upswing now, after a low of 33,274, following the trend of the last few months. If this pattern continues, it's going to start another "gumdrop shape" up around 8% more then down again in mid-March.[...]

On Will the Apple Car mean "R.I.P. Tesla" on November 19?

Interesting news about Rivian lately. Bloomberg's recent article was full of "ifs" like, "If" they get 20% of the market, they'll be huge. My first impression of the truck is that it has Chinese eyes (headlights). I point that out because Rivian is tryin[...]

On Friday File: Trump Media, Cloudflare, GAN, Match and more...

DWAC in my opinion is a Las Vegas type of craps game. Lucky you if you had a hunch on Wednesday that it could go big and bought some. The slow drop on Friday, loosing 20% indicates to me that the market has quickly lost interest at this table.[...]
