Eight Do’s and Don’ts For Options Traders / InvestorEducation / Options & Warrants

By: Chris_Vermeulen

Trading, especially options, can be very exciting and rewarding. Having said that, you should not be trading options before learning at least the basics about how to trade them. Options are very different from stocks and there are more factors that go into the pricing.  Many view it as a get-rich-quick scheme while others think it is gambling. I am here to say it is neither but you have to know the rules before you can trade them if you want to be successful.  Last week I covered some little-known basic facts. This week I am covering 8 Do’s and Don’ts for options traders.

Chasing Value in Unloved by Markets Small Cap Biotech Stocks for the Long-run / Companies / BioTech

By: Nadeem_Walayat

Five more biotech stocks to add to the strategy of invest and forget for a potential X10 return. a reminder of why I am engaging in this binge on biotech stocks after having been focused on AI stocks for the past 5 years.

1. Biotech stocks are an unloved stocks sector whilst tech stocks over valued, even the ultra safe stocks such as the Top 10, so I am reluctant to add at current valuations hence why I hit the SELL button for the first time in many years and reduced my exposure to AI stocks by about 40%.

2. That biotech is a derivative of AI, we'll most sectors will soon become a derivative of AI because it is the PRIMARY tech megatrend of our age that will continue to broaden its reach to encompass all sectors of the economy.

Inflation Pressures Persist Despite Biden Propaganda / Commodities / Inflation

By: MoneyMetals

As the summer doldrums drag on, precious metals bulls are eying potential support levels for a seasonal bottom.

The gold market found support at the $1,750 level last month and has since been trading with a slight upside bias. Although the price action hasn’t been especially exciting, base building in these summer months can be a healthy technical process in the context of a larger bull market.

Meanwhile, investors are weighing troubling developments on the inflation front. Price increases are hitting consumers every time they shop, and that trend shows no signs of letting up.

Gold Investors Wavering / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021

By: Zeal_LLC

Gold has been sucking wind this summer, trudging along after getting slammed by a distant-future-rate-hikes scare.  The resulting lower prices have really damaged psychology, leaving investors wavering on gold.  Their recent capital inflows have reversed into modest selling, contributing to unusual weakness in this leading alternative asset.  But investment demand should roar back in this inflationary environment.

Gold entered summer 2021 with strong upside momentum, in a young upleg that had just powered up 13.5% in 2.8 months by early June.  This current interrupted upleg is the fifth of gold’s secular bull, and the previous four averaged big 33.3% gains.  Gold was progressing nicely until the June 16th meeting of the Fed’s Federal Open Market Committee.  The FOMC was expected to do nothing, and that’s what it did.

In a nothingburger monetary-policy decision, the FOMC left its zero-interest-rate policy and $120b per month of quantitative-easing money printing in place indefinitely.  There were no hints that either of these hyper-easy policy stances would be changed anytime soon.  The leveraged gold-futures speculators who dominate gold’s short-term fortunes should’ve yawned at that, and gone back to enjoying lazy summers.

But with every other FOMC decision, the Fed releases a Summary of Economic Projections that shows where individual top Fed officials expect to see certain economic data in coming years.  That includes their outlooks for the federal-funds rate, which are gathered in a scatter chart known as the “dot plot”.  In mid-June’s version, 6 out of 18 top Fed officials thought there might be two quarter-point hikes into year-end 2023!

That was about 2.5 years into the future, an eternity away in the markets.  And the dot plot has proven a notoriously-inaccurate FFR predictor anyway.  That very afternoon the Fed chair himself warned that the dots are “not a Committee forecast, they’re not a plan. ... the dots are not a great forecaster of future rate moves.”  He said they should “be taken with a big grain of salt.”  Jerome Powell advised to ignore the dot plot!

Bogdance - How Binance Scams Futures Traders With Fake Bitcoin Prices to Run Limits and Margin Calls / Currencies / Scams

By: HGR

Binance should be renamed as Bogdance given the myriad of scams that the worlds largest crypto trading platform perpetrates on it's users, with so many instruments such as the inverse leverage coins designed to extract funds from crypto traders it is near impossible for most to make any money trading on this scam platform. In this video I demonstrate Bogdance's fake Bitcoin futures prices designed to stop traders out of their positions, and the variation between spot markets and futures is not just a few percent but by huge margins to ensure stops are hit or margin levels are annihilated thus prompting position closures at the worst possible prices all to the benefit of Binance! Thus the Bogdanof twins are rightly proud of Binance the worlds premier Crypto Scams exchange!

SPX Long-term trend:  There is some evidence that we are still in the bull market which started in 2009 and which could continue into 2021 until major cycles take over, and it ends.  A move up to ~4500 is possible before the current bull market makes a final top and SPX corrects into its next major cycle low due in 2023.

SPX Intermediate trend:  SPX May wat to push all the way to the top projection before making an important correction.

Global Stock Market Investing: Here's the Message of Consumer "Overconfidence" / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2021

By: EWI

Bear markets tend to follow this particular sentiment

In many global regions, economies are flourishing.

For example, here are two headlines about the U.S.:

What America's Startup Boom Could Mean For The Economy (npr.com, June 29)
Inflation Rose in June as Economic Recovery Continues (WSJ, July 13)

The goings-on in the United Kingdom provide another example. Employers in the UK are hiring people at the highest rate in more than six years. Plus, business and consumer spending are climbing swiftly -- at the fastest clip in a quarter of a century.

Gold’s Behavior in Various Parallel Inflation Universes / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021

By: Arkadiusz_Sieron

The current high inflation could theoretically transform into hyperinflation, disinflation, stagflation, or deflation. What does each mean for gold?

Inflation, inflation, inflation. We all know that prices have surged recently. And we all know that high inflation is likely to stay with us for a while, even if we assume that the CPI annual rate has already peaked, which is not so obvious. But let’s look beyond the nearest horizon and think about what lies ahead after months of high inflation, and what consequences it could have for the gold market.

From the logical point of view, there are three options. Inflation rates could accelerate further, leading to hyperinflation in an extreme case. They could remain more or less the same, resulting possibly in stagflation when the pace of GDP growth decelerates. And, finally, the rates of annual changes in the CPI could slow down, implying disinflation, or they could even become negative – in this scenario, we would enter the world of deflation. So, which of these “flations” awaits us?

Then there are the school drama queens that make up the rules as they go along!

Bitcoin Black Swan - GOOGLE! / Currencies / Bitcoin

By: Nadeem_Walayat

The stock to flow model to is too easy and that Bitcoin halving can do what it does to pump the price ever higher, but what happens if next time that does NOT HAPPEN where instead bitcoin pricing rising it FALLS! If the biggest bullish case for Bitcoin turns out to be FALSE then that crypto is heading towards $1 rather than the stock to flow models $1 million plus coins.

So yes, it worked last time, and could work next time. However, on it's own it has to be coin flip, and eventually those coins are going to flip TAILS - GAME OVER!

Which means don' get sucked into such hype and make sure not to over commit to the crypto casino i.e. Even at maximum exposure I am not going to spend MORE than 1% of my total fiat on crypto's. One has to be prepared for assets that have no intrinsic value to reflect that lack of intrinsic value so keep exposure small.

Greetings. I hope this article finds you and yours well. Today, we are taking a look at some additional market indicators and internals to get an unbiased perspective on things.

First, I want to preface things by mentioning that I am not suggesting that I am fully bearish on the S&P 500 or stocks right now. However, I am taking more of a cautious stance at the moment.

Biden’s Dangerous Inflation Denials / Politics / Inflation

By: MoneyMetals

This week he superficially addressed the problem by admitting the obvious – that prices have been rising rapidly this year – while denying that the inflation surge represents anything out of the ordinary.

“Some folks have raised worries that this could be a sign of persistent inflation, but that’s not our view,” Biden said. “Our experts believe and the data shows that most of the price increases we’ve seen [were] expected and expected to be temporary.”

Trust the experts! After all, when have they been wrong about anything…besides wars and pandemics?

By: MoneyMetals

America faces a retirement crisis.

The chairman of the world’s largest asset management firm is sounding the alarm. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink told CNBC last week that he sees a “silent crisis of retirement.”

Fink cited ultra-low interest rates, combining with elevated inflation rates, as steadily diminishing the real value of retirement savings.

“People are going to have to, unfortunately, whether they like it or not…work longer because they’re not earning the same returns on their savings,” he said.
