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.

Buy Alert: COBRA System Signals 40% Upside in iShares UK Puts

By Jim RickardsPosted July 5, 2022

With most global stock prices falling this year due to multiple headwinds , UK stocks have outperformed. But that trend might be coming to an end. Our C.O.B.R.A. system has signaled put options on a leading ETF that tracks the performance of UK equities as the best way to profit on an expected drawdown in UK stocks to the level of its trading partners.

C.O.B.R.A. Sell Alert: Take 40% Gain On FXB Puts

By Dan AmossPosted February 25, 2022

With economic turmoil rising, the UK has also been one of the most hawkish countries on the topic of defending Ukraine against possible invasion by Russia. FXB has been weak through the Russia-Ukraine turmoil, so now is a good time to take profits on this position after holding for less than a month.

C.O.B.R.A. Alert: Take Profits On iShares South Korea Puts

By Dan AmossPosted April 25, 2022

In a little over two weeks, we have had a nice gain on our EWY position. Samsung (a major component of this ETF) will report earnings later this week. It might spark a bounce in the stock. Let’s sell this position now and watch EWY for another high-potential trade setup in the future.

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. Buy Alert: A Signal on Euro Calls For 50% Gains

By Jim RickardsPosted July 1, 2021

Currently, interest rates in Europe are mostly negative and near all-time lows but steady, while U.S. rates are coming down fast. That makes U.S. capital markets relatively less attractive and drives global capital allocations in the direction of Europe. The euro can be expected to gain based on those flows and that’s good for holders of long positions in today’s recommendation. Using the C.O.B.R.A. system, Jim and Dan recommend a long position in FXE as lower yields in U.S. markets mean a less attractive dollar, more attractive euro and potential gains for this ETF.

C.O.B.R.A. Sell Alert: Sell Expiring Japanese Yen Position

By Dan AmossPosted January 20, 2022

Our bullish yen position recovered much lost ground in recent trading sessions, but is fast approaching expiration this Friday, Jan. 21. Our option hit a low of $0.80 on Jan. 4, and has since rebounded to $2.20, which has minimized the loss on this trade. The yen may continue rising, but we are close enough to option expiration tomorrow afternoon that we recommend selling now.
