3D Printing: The Hottest Sector No One is Talking About

Immediately, I know many of you traderfags are up in arms over that title, ready to show me your recent executions for VJET and DDD. But most normal people out there do not have the 3-d sector cordoned off, isolated to view its alpha.

With gains of 25% over the past month, color me impressed. However, and bear this in mind, every single 3-d combined equates to a market less than $9b, so it’s literally nothing in the big scheme of things. Needless to say, this sector has been on fire.

Now let me show you a tool inside Exodus that could’ve helped you into this sector before it ran higher.  This is a composite reading of all of the best performing industries, by month, using seasonal return statistics. In other words, over the course of X amount of month’s, the 3-D printing space netted an average return of +4.18%. The way you would’ve traded it is simple. The screener would be fixed for best performing industries, correlated against the top ranked tech scores. It would only produce a ‘pick’ if the tech score eclipsed 3.00.

For DDD, that came on the first day of the month, when the stock was $16.24.

For these types of trades, I normally recommend 10 day holding periods, no more. In that case, you’d be selling this stock tomorrow — for at least a 36% gain.

When I discussed building systems and models, this is precisely what I was talking about. This would be a seasonality model, based on alpha.

Hopefully this Friday my new strategy can be implemented and you might bear witness to this sort of greatness unraveling in real time — just like the old days, but on a much higher level of sophistication.

      By my calculations, if you had used your strategy and started with about $10MM, in 3 years your returns would have been roughly -$9,999,996.50.

            I mean, you’ve already predicted 86 of the last 3 corrections.

    Speculation now running rampant that DPRK was behind Wanacry ransomware. https://securelist.com/blog/research/78431/wannacry-and-lazarus-group-the-missing-link/

      We better pray they don’t hack the power grid. You’d have about 48 to 72 hours before the cities start burning to the ground

    Remember you heard it here first in November – Donny boy won’t make it to 2018. Odds looking pretty sweet right here.

      I don’t think you were first on that, the libtards started calling for assassination and impeachment within 24 hours of their tears drying (last week?).

      Still, I’d take those odds. You guys are nuts.

    “Greatness unraveling in real time”? I think you meant to pen the word “unfolding” instead of unraveling (which implies a certain degree of “coming apart at the seams”, chaos or entropy). Check your autocorrect function. Good evening to you. —-The Grammar Police

    @Fly: When advising a 10 day holding period, would that represent calendar days or only days where the market is open?
