By Dan AmossPosted July 7, 2022

The economy feels like it’s in a recession and budgets for technology hardware and software get cut in a global recession. U.S.-listed technology companies rely on sales to Japan, Europe, and even China for large shares of their total business. As these economies slow, it’s bound to hit tech earnings. Jim and Dan recommend put options on a fund that holds S&P 500 tech stocks and has more downside risk than upside potential as we head into earnings season.

Mergers and acquisitions often disappoint. However, over the last four years, most M&A deals in gold mining have created value for shareholders right off the bat, especially between companies with established gold mine operations. Jim and Dan recommend buying shares of this globally diversified gold producer as a recent announced all-stock acquisition of Yamana Gold will enhance its revenue projections ahead of a series of value-adding projects as a combined company.

Net earnings revisions for the Industrials sector of the S&P 500 just turned negative in April. That’s good news for our XLI puts. Our ultimate bear market target for XLI is as low as $52. But that will depend on how long the Fed maintains its tightening policy. Meanwhile, we have a profit of more than 100% after only two weeks, so let’s take gains now. We recommend exiting this position for our second winner this week.

The collapse of the Evergrande real estate finance empire inside China will have ripple effects throughout the real estate markets and global financial system. Banks who are major lenders in these property markets will suffer damage in real time. Jim and Dan focus on one of the world’s largest banks as its earnings and stock price will suffer and astute investors can make significant gains as a result.

Welcome to our first issue and recommendation. Online e-commerce has thrived in the past year due to pandemic lockdowns which created more traffic online. But start-ups are difficult to sustain in a competitive world as many small business owners have found out, especially with the added economic pressures of the pandemic. Jim and Scott target this leading ecommerce leader as customer churn and high-end competition constrain its business model. This will result in a correction to its share price.

Sell Alert: Exit Your AMC June Put Spread

By Dan AmossPosted June 1, 2021

A highly improbable reinflation of a second AMC bubble has emerged which speaks to how fragile and distorted the financial markets have become that this could happen again. As a result, the long leg of our put spread on AMC is likely to expire worthless on June 18. So, we recommend exiting both legs of this trade today.

Trade Alert: A Peaking ISM Means Trouble For This ETF

All signs point towards the Fed tightening its policy into a slowing economy in the opening months of 2022. We think chemical makers in particular are at risk of reporting lower margins, unwanted inventory builds, and lower sales volumes by mid- to late-2022. A stagflation environment, driven partly by high oil and natural gas prices, is bearish for chemical stocks. Jim and Dan recommend this ETF weighted heavily in chemical stocks as the best way to play a downturn in stock values as earnings will disappoint.
