Dear Traders,The first week of 2023 turned out to be very strong and volatile, with a ton of trading opportunities. Today, Brian and I made some amazing trades on TQQQ and TSLA, and it in fact ended up being one of the biggest days of my last few months. You can watch our recap here. The market is bouncing back heavily because of some macroeconomic data reports released today. First, the job market came in strong,...
Dear Traders,Happy New Year! I am back from my climbing in Argentina. On December 30, 2022, at 2pm local time, I stood on top of Mt. Aconcagua at around 7,000m (23,000 ft), the highest point in the Western Hemisphere, and in fact the highest point outside of the Himalayas range (Nepal, India, China, Pakistan). We were the last group who could summit in 2022 because of the weather. Since no one climbs above 7,000m in...
Hello Traders! Norm here, writing on behalf of Andrew and the rest of the BBT team. As Andrew is gearing up to be the highest person on earth by climbing the summit of Aconcagua, I thought it would be a great idea to recap the crazy year we had and highlight what is coming next year for BBT. First, let’s talk about numbers and trading: As you probably know by now, 2022 was one of the toughest years...
Hello Bear Bull Traders! I am up in the Argentinian mountains near the 6,000m (+19,000ft) level and I am hoping to be able to push for the summit of Aconcagua. It is the biggest mountain in the Western Hemisphere and, in fact, the highest point in the world outside of the Himalayas. If the weather is good, I can summit on December 30th! I am thinking of all of you and I have brought the BBT...
Dear Traders, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend and was able to spend some much-deserved time with their family and friends. As we move toward the new year, many of us will be making New Year's resolutions, with the aim of improving ourselves in 2023. This is the time of year that you should be looking back at the previous year of trading and formulating a plan that will enable you to grow and...
Dear Traders,We are getting into the end of 2022, and the market is still volatile. Tesla is one of the very attractive stocks that has given us a lot of trading options. Today, Thor and Brian traded TSLA at the Open, and I later traded it for the break of 52-w low. I also discussed how you can day trade options on TSLA instead of buying or shorting common shares.Watch our recap here: All new members...
Dear Traders,Today the market continued its sell-off as investors desperately search for a return. In a recessionary environment, the market has no reason to go up, but it has a good volatile path of choppiness. I hope the market stays like this: choppy but extremely volatile. Economist had a nice cover talking about how investors are stuck in finding a return. Today was an amazing day-thanks to Brian for helping me find META and short TESLA! Watch our recap here. Also in today's...
Dear Traders,It’s a big week ahead! Tomorrow, we will learn the new CPI number (inflation) and we will see if that number will change the volatility in the market. According to Bloomberg, 60% of retail investors such as us are long stocks and think this is a good time to own them. On the other hand, 40% of professional investors are short. Who will be the winner of tomorrow’s battle? Regardless, there are significant amounts...
Dear Traders,Market volatility continues within the Chinese sector and, of course, as usual, with Tesla Inc. Finally, the Communist Party decided to ease their zero-COVID policy, a policy that was obviously failing. I called this last year. I’m not sure why the party did not get it. BABA has gapped up beautifully. Today, in the community, we had some very good trading on BABA and TSLA. The breakouts were clean with a bullish Level 2...
Dear Traders,I am writing this newsletter from Florence, Italy, where I came to meet some of our friends and traders. We had a small but very nice meetup, and I am grateful that some of our traders could make it on such short notice. Two police officers came to meet me and they brought along a bottle of Vin Santo and a card that thanked me for teaching them to become traders. I was thrilled!...
