The Final Boot Camp of 2016 has been launched.
Save the date; Monday December 12th-Friday December 16th, 7PM ET.
If you’ve yet to attend a Boot Camp, this is a great time to insert yourself into a great line-up of content. As usual, we’ll spread this out over a week’s time. We’ll meet once a week for 60-90 minutes with a firm agenda for each day. Each session will be recorded and sent to you, including slides, in a downloadable format.
These Boot Camp’s have been a great opportunity for readers to get solid investing themes throughout the year. Here are the highlights of 2016:
- Q1 Theme: GLOBAL PANIC: From the February lows I discussed buying a select List of High Yield Value Stocks ($NOBL) and utilizing covered calls ($BXM). The $NOBL went to ATH’s in March, months before the $SPX.
- Q2 Theme: My Guide to Picking Stocks: Since my 2016 call was for the market to trend against the popular opinion, I laid out all the analysis necessary (market/sector/stock/sentiment/risk) to pick stocks in a trending market. Those methods worked fantastic this year.
- Q3 Theme: August – Short Gold against an oil long, short Bonds, and gave out a solid list of Trump stocks including infrastructure and biotech.
- Q4 Theme and Outline:
Session 1: A Review of My 2016 Themes and How They’ve Come to Fruition
Session 2: A Trumped Up Market- An Overview of Which Stocks Will Flourish in 2017
Session 3: A Crowded Trade Unwinding: A look at Rates, Safety and Yield.
Session 4: The 2017 Pain Trade: Inflation
Session 5: My 2017 Outlook and Predictions
I’m going to go BK buying today’s $TWLO. It looks soooooo freaking good, it’s tempting me to break all prudence and risk management. I’ve already stretched past a bit past my normal risk tolerance for a day trade, but golly it looks nice.
not worth it… you break discipline and it goes well, it’s hard not to fall into the trap next time and end up getting burned.
While recognizing it was profoundly stupid, it helped erase some of the earlier losses. Got out my last add a double, my second add just barely negative, and my original buy down 50%. If I didn’t have to be on the road for this freaking 3:30 ramp I could have made some money instead of leaving a weak limit order.
glad this one paid off!

Thank you.
Wish you’d have dropped off some picks in the last few months.
Lots of fun here later in the day – momo looks to be catching a bid…
Holding out for more from BAC and NFLX
I’m definitely finding a way to get in on this Boot Camp.
Thanks for all you do on here OA.
TWLO making its run now. Got out of my NFLX for a small gain, and salvaged some BAC premium, but missed the sell point at 1330
Jeff hats off to you on TWLO you the man
amazing call on TWLO !!
$twlo…LOLZ crazy good Jeff!
Wow. Absolutely nice call on that.
I received an extremely interesting email from a Chinese supplier of mine that ties right into your inflation theme. I love the dry bulk sector here despite the shenanigans and see some of them like NMM and SBLK returning to 2014 highs.
Here’s the email:
“But these days, the raw material including box, steel, board, parts etc, all keep increasing crazily, so only if we place order to the box supplier right away otherwise they can not guarantee a price to be valid long, so we can not tell an exact price at this moment without expectable orders.
Below is just the steel cost trend for your reference, it’s said that it will keep increasing trend for a while… so we also like remind you to consider this situation and make order plans accordingly, which will help both of us to get better prepared and save our costs, frankly we can not either guarantee the current price all the time if the material keep rocketing. Hope your kind understanding, thanks.”
The oil run about to take place is going to be epic and Natty won;t be far behind. I’m locked and loaded.
What are your top oil names?
my largest position is RIG but I also have COP NBR NOV. The problem here is you can’t chase, the oil stocks starting moving before oil. If you’re lucky enough to get a pullback I would load up but when this sector gets going it can be in a straight line.
It was 2 years ago on Thanksgiving that OPEC screwed the oil market – I remember looking at that headline after dinner wondering what the fallout would be…wonder if the opposite will happen this year
RIG is basically the same price it was 11 months ago. Hasn’t been able to blast through 12 bucks resistance. Worth taking a shot if it moves and holds about that level.
Hard to trade anything based on presumptions on what Russian and OPEC will do. Both are habitual bullshitters.
Picked up BIDU calls for next week. good spot to take a swing.
Wanted TWLO, but it moved too quick and the spread was too wide.
BAC just looks like it wants to pop
Everybody’s downgrading and bashing FSLR but it sits here resilient like Rocky Balboa in Rocky I still on its feet. IMO it’s standing tough because it’s too cheap not to buy here.
lol it’s down 55% YtD and 33% in past few weeks. Hardly resilient
I appriciate your comment however I’m taking about in the context of the last few days. The stock is under attack from shorts and it appears to be bottoming here in the context of this storm. That’s all I’m suggesting.
Gotcha. Tough trade when you have a global warming ignorant at the helm for the next 4 years
Haven’t changed any positions past week and letting the market do its work.
My 401K is doing awesome – I think this month will be my biggest gain ever
what are you in?
60% small caps, 30 mid caps and 10% blue chip – I was more heavily weighted in smalls, but I figured that was too much and I had already caught the large part of the move.
Yeh man this might line up to do the same for me.
