Take the Red Pill With NIO

Hi Shoppers, I am going to be super quick here as I am on spring break in Cabo San Lucas with a bunch of high school seniors. (My son and his friends, that is – I’m not just out here partying with teens!) It is absolutely beautiful here and I need to get back out […]

Have a Beer?

Good Morning Shoppers, I hope no one is hungover on green beer this morning. Did you know the healthiest beer you can drink is Guinness? (Get out of here with your Michelob extreme double ultra light infusions.) Most beers provide antioxidants, B vitamins, fiber, silicon (good for your bones), iron and prebiotics. Well, Guinness has […]

Thanks, Bill Gates!

Hi, Shoppers, Did you hear about the 2 billion genetically modified mosquitoes that are being released in Florida and California? Apparently, they are all male mosquitoes … that do not bite … that will mate with the biting females, producing offspring that will not survive. The purpose of all this is to reduce the spread […]

Rollercoaster … Say What?

Hi Shoppers, I used to love rollercoasters. They scared the hell out of me and I screamed the whole time, but loved it.  It’s been so long, I’m not even sure I can handle a roller coaster anymore. How about you? Check out Tuesday’s five-minute chart on the S&P 500 (Ticker: SPX): Folks, that is […]

Golden Hour

Hi Shoppers,   It is one of those rare warm winter days in Chicago.    As of this writing, it’s 64 degrees with a high of 66!   And it’s super sunny. Gorgeous!   In fact actually warm enough to sit outside.     Chicagoans truly appreciate those first few warm days.   It just […]

Put It Real Good

Hi Shoppers,   Yesterday, Mark Sebastian invited me to be a guest on one of his many media appearances ..   We talked about the market’s spiciest topic … put credit spreads! (That basically means … selling put spreads for a credit.)   Seems kind of crazy with the market volatility we have been having, […]

Cramer (And I) Agree With Mark

Hi Shoppers,   Lucky for you, I am in good with Mark Sebastian.   You know, the guy Jim Cramer was talking about this week …   That’s right.    And I got you a seat at his live session tomorrow at 11 a.m. ET.   There’s so much going on in the world right […]

What Would You Do?

Hi Shoppers, Like me, many of you are glued to your TV/phone/computer, keeping track of the happenings in Ukraine. The Ukrainian people truly seem to be strong, resilient, tough and patriotic. Authorities have handed out 18,000 rifles and trained volunteers College students are making Molotov cocktails. The Ukrainians have, remarkably, been able to hold onto […]

Huge Market Reversal

First of all, let’s keep all the people who are being affected by this invasion in our thoughts and prayers. We as Americans can’t even imagine what it would be like. In the face of that turmoil, yesterday’s market move was one of the biggest turnaround reversals I’ve ever seen. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF […]

What Are the Charts Telling Us?

Hi Shoppers,   This market is still making massive moves up and down.   I don’t know about you, but I am finding the news on Russia and Ukraine very confusing.   Is Russia invading … ?   Russia is invading …   Russia has invaded certain areas …   Is that a real invasion […]
