Market Cycle Guidebook - The global growth pulse is turning up

Some of the key takeaways from the latest edition:-The global growth pulse is turning up --soft data is trending distinctly “less bad”--likewise the slowdown in hard data growth rates is turning around--and even the leading indicators are turning up from previous warning signs---hence the macro edge risk of reacceleration and inflation resurgence is credible--investors need to think more about the idea of reacceleration---(yet we continue to monitor for downside/recession risk signs)-Central banks move into pause mode, and even pivot in places--the Fed remains on pause, with a high hurdle for cuts or hikes---others pivot: Sweden, Europe, Canada all cutting rates---EM has collectively pivoted to rate cuts----(notably China — making steps towards larger stimulus)--the bulk of tightening is l

$Mobileye Global Inc.(MBLY)$  $MBLY $GME Mobileye 👁️ 21% short interest Enterprise value roughly 25 Billion They have free cash flow of around 296 million which is great, but like every tech company to entice talent they give out a lot of stock based compensation to the tune of around 250 m What recently hit the stock in their last earnings report was a decel in revenue outlook of 9%. They are actually highly profitable with a 50% gross margin but they are heavily reinvesting in their self driving. Their products are good from driver assist to full self driving and they have deals with Volkswagen which is the largest car company in the world and have inked deals with many of VW brands like Porsche most recently One of the things plaguing the

Reflection piece to myself: I naked shorted stocks early in my trading path but realized that I could not stomach it emotionally, cutting losses at the wrong time and re-entering at wrong times again. I didn't lose too much capital (thankfully).  I know that I am not cut out for this, feeling the butterflies in the stomach and feelings of dread. so I have been trying to achieved this with limited exposure through GTC orders and options and higher level timeframes so that I remove myself emotionally from the trades. When a stock is volatile, the last thing you want to do is to be right about the direction and wrong about the execution, which I have found myself to be caught in many a time. Both GTC orders and options have limitations which are probably unsolvable for now. Sometimes I s

Yes, my only shorts atm are on $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ And only on my demo account. Because, well there are to many variables. I have brought calls with real coin though $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ If you have read my other posts you will quickly see I think it's going to go Stella, but I'm just predominantly picking up jan 2026 calls, because it might still take a while, or it might not, so I also have a few October 2024 calls. The market is a tricky beast to understand, logic doesn't always win, especially in the short term.  But back to Tesla, my read is it's all bad news. All cyber trucks recalled with the accelerator Pedal issue, Tesla 3 cars recalled, with the software issue, EV sales revised dow

Memes are roller coaster-ING 🎢 🎢🎢

Shorting Memes? Meme stocks were rocking in Wall Street once again this week. A post on Reddit late Sunday indicated that Keith Gill had built a sizable stake in GameStop. Shares of GameStop closed up 21% to 28 USD after jumping above 40 USD right after the opening of trading.  It's important to know the momentum can shift just as suddenly the other way. It took just four weeks in 2021 for GameStop's stock to go from less than 5 USD to more than 120 USD. But it has yet to touch that price again. Even after its big jump in recent days, GameStop shares can still be bought for less than 30 USD. Let's look at the trend of a few meme stocks.  AMC With meme investors unable to keep rallies going for long, the owners of AMC Entertainment stock could be left with serious l

Treat the loss on short NVDA as learning lesson. Nvidia's stock has scorched short sellers to the tune of $20 billion this year. Frankly NVIDIA’s share price’s incredible run is due to its strong fundamental factors.NVDA is now $1204 per share. Thanks @Meme_Tiger

**Why I Shorted $TSLA: Anticipating the Failure of Elon Musk's Compensation Package Vote** I recently decided to short Tesla ($TSLA) based on my analysis of the upcoming vote on Elon Musk's compensation package. Here’s why I firmly believe this vote will fail and how it could spell trouble for Tesla’s stock price: 1. **Shareholder Backlash**: Shareholders are increasingly fed up with the excessive and unjustified compensation Musk continues to receive. The growing discontent among major stakeholders is palpable, with many believing the package is out of touch with the company's actual performance and broader market conditions. 2. **Unmet Expectations**: Despite Tesla’s achievements, the company has failed to consistently meet the lofty targets tied to Musk’s compensation package.

Baptism by fire on short $NVDA 20240607 1270.0 CALL$! Initiated a short position on near $1200 strike calls as price spiked. Took a max drawdown of 500% early as NVDA ripped, but managed to claw some premium back on the dip today. Still a learning experience, but the theta gang is happy today 😎 @SPACE ROCKET  @Barcode  @OptionsTutor now I'm hooked to trading options. a few more cardiovascular exercise via demo account to build up my confidence will be good
