Don’t Short Into the Perception of Inflationary Times

Stock market 101.

Deflation is bad for stocks, inflation good.

Because the Fed is opting to inflate while markets and the economy are doing well, the perception is for rapid inflation, as seen in the TIPs, gold, dollar, and stock values.

As such, you cannot, even for a day, trade against this perception and think you could win. Stocks will and have remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent.

Into the bell, I bought an IPO from today, which caters to this way of thinking, and I also bought a few Chinese burritos, a value play, and I booked a profit in UPWK.

Here are some of my recent trades — nothing is left out.

DRIP +28%
ROKU +2.5%
TVIX +5.7%
TZA +2%
FAZ +6%
TQQQ +4.5%
NUGT +21%
ROKU +6.4%
(DUST -2.9%)
AYX +5.4%
ZM +8.5%
PINS +9.5%
(PAGS -0.5%)
(SFIX -3.5%)
FAS +0.3%
(BE -3.1%)
LK +8.1%
CRWD +7.2%
SOLY +7.9%
NUGT +8.3%
SAIL +5.9%
CHWY -5.4%
ZS +2.4%
UPWK +2.6%

    Is this Alpha or Beta? No one should judge investors and traders only by their performance during a strong bull trend. Market is overbought. We’ll hit 3000 (intraday) and then test 2900.

    Nice call on gold, BTW.

      Also, I did buy some TVIX at 18.50 yesterday, and will buy more today near the close.

    That was terrible of Trump to get Lindsey all wet like that, and then call it off.
