By Jim RickardsPosted June 23, 2021

Brazil has recently emerged from a horrific third wave of infections with the same prospects as the U.S. for economic recovery, rate hikes and a stronger currency. In some ways, Brazil is tracing the experience of the U.S. with a nine-month lag. Using the C.O.B.R.A. system, Jim and Dan recommend a long position in EWZ is your chance to participate in currency-driven profits as global capital moves to Brazilian markets.

C.O.B.R.A. System Buy Alert: Another 50% Opportunity in FXI Puts

By Jim RickardsPosted August 30, 2021

Ideological and security-related stock headwinds will be exacerbated by a coming currency war as China cheapens the USD/CNY cross-rate by devaluing CNY to boost its slowing economy. The combination of tech wars and currency wars is a recipe for a drawdown in the FXI price. Using the C.O.B.R.A. system, Jim and Dan recommend a short position in FXI as an expected decline in the CNY will set up a plnnge in the next few months for this heavily-weighted ETF.

C.O.B.R.A. System Buy Alert: 40% Upside in Dollar Index Calls

By Jim Rickards and Dan AmossPosted August 2, 2021

Dear Tactical Currency Profits Reader, Our recommendation for August 2, 2021 is a long position in the Invesco DB Dollar Index Bullish Fund (NYSE: UUP).

C.O.B.R.A. System Sell Alert: Take a 97% Gain on FXI Puts

By Dan AmossPosted July 27, 2021

Late last week, the Chinese government cracked down on for-profit education companies. The action chilled sentiment toward Chinese stocks, which are all heavily influenced by government policy. The net result has been twice the expected return in half the time for our puts. Now is a great time to take profits.

C.O.B.R.A. System Sell Alert: Take Gains on UUP Calls

By Dan AmossPosted September 8, 2021

Jim’s analysis concluded that there is a much higher chance of UUP rising than falling in August and early September. UUP has very low volatility, so this was a lower-profit-percent trade than our typical trade. However, it had lower risk. We have a decent gain on a low-risk trade after holding for a month, so let’s take profits.

C.O.B.R.A. System Buy Alert: 70% Gains in South Korea Puts

By Jim Rickards and Dan AmossPosted October 8, 2021

Economic slowdowns in China and the U.S., as well as supply chain bottlenecks, leaves South Korea vulnerable to lower growth and a decline in their stock indices. Using the C.O.B.R.A. system, Jim and Dan recommend a short position in EWY. This ETF is structured to reflect the price of publicly traded securities in the South Korean stock market and will result in large gains for the holders of puts on EWY.

C.O.B.R.A. System Buy Alert: 50% Upside On British Pound Calls

By Jim RickardsPosted September 14, 2021

The relationship between policy factors and capital flows is somewhat circular. Good polices and resulting good growth will act as a magnet for inbound capital. That capital will then finance and power the hope for growth. Using the C.O.B.R.A. system, Jim and Dan recommend a long position in FXB as investors see the UK as the only major developed economy that is trying to manage its budget and the sterling will be rewarded with capital inflows.
