It seems like whether its influenza death statistics or this
virus, they need to qualify "who" is dying to know how threatening
it is. For example, just to be extreme, if the 259 deaths so far
worldwide are all people that were in the last 6 months of their
life anyway due to old age or other medical condition, it doesn't
seem like much of a threat at all, but if the deaths are in healthy
adults with no other medical condition or problem, it would give
more reason for worry as a threat to the general population.
Just a death rate with no break out on age group or 'health
before' contracting seems like it could be very misleading on the
actual threat.
Thanks for this question, I also have the same question. I am
mostly on the side lines in my 401k right now and can't jump in and
out every few days, but am hesitant to get in now even though maybe
I should. I would really be interested in getting some
guidance on this as well.
Victor, that is what I count as well, today being day 10 (Dec 11
- Day 1, last Friday - Day 8....) . If draw down at this
level is very small should a person try a put option or a inverse
ETF with a fairly tight stop, or better to wait to see if we get 11
days and then look at that option?
Agree that for those of us that can't be day trading and
watching things all the time due to regular jobs / other
commitments, as simple as possible having just one system that is
either in or out is preferable to me and negates confusion.
Steve Reply: What really matters is how he impacts the company
over time. Speculative play and prefer to see progress prior
to playing again. Only a small spec for me
currently.
GNAL acting very strange the last couple days. Jumping between
0.49 and 0.59, and right now its at 0.53 with a bid of 0.59 and ask
of 0.63! Anyone have any insight or explanation?
Down in the 5-7% range on SPY/SSO trades so far, would it be
prudent to buy something on opposite side of play for some
insurance if it looks probable the market could collapse further,
or are we still looking for 3rd entry still on the long side?
Or maybe just jetison at this point? Thanks for any advice
or thought on best way to go from here.
No mention of the current SPY trade in the newsletter tonight.
Since it took a long trade a couple days at this inflection
point it would be good to know what your thought is, and if we will
be looking at a 3rd entry possibly, etc. Appreciate all your
work on this stuff, I enjoy the newsletters, trade ideas, etc.
Thanks!
I am sure tempted to buy more XIV at this level but probably
shouldn't since I am trying to stay disciplined with the system and
instead purchased 10% UPRO.... Wild market for sure!
You don't lose money until you sell, so hopefully the SPY system
trade will rebound and come out good at some point! Good luck
to everyone!
I'm definitely far from an expert on all the systems but I think
it is very, very simple if you want to keep it that way (which I
do). Just follow their main recommendations on the SPY
system. They tell you exactly when to get in (and 2nd entry
if applicable), and when to get out. That's it. If you
wantto get complicated and try doing trades on multiple
systems then that requires more attention and due diligence, but no
reason to complicate it unless you really want.
Any advice on the proper trigger price to short HYG in this
wedge? I shorted a little a couple days ago but want to add
to it at the right spot. Any advice is appreciated!

With the S&P dropping back

With the S&P dropping back to opening levels, does it present a decent opportunity to get in on the 1/2 SPY trade, or has that ship sailed already?
