The Very Worst Stocks of 2019 Soared Today…

…while the very best performers got poleaxed. Try to wrap your brains around this one.

Sorting for stocks down 10% or more YTD — min caps of $1b, produced intra day returns of +2.2%

Stocks +50% or more were down more than 1.1%.

But wait, it gets worse.

My Bubble Basket inside Exodus was down 3.6% and SAAS stocks are getting dropped into murderholes everywhere I look. Let’s put things into perspective. The valuations for the best stocks are completely dislocated from reality.

What to do now?

Hedge a little and raise lots of cash and try to follow what’s working now. This shift in money flow might last a few days, or maybe even a few weeks.

NOTE: I booked the gains on MNK and JCP today. JCP netted me over 21%.

    I predict a couple months till we see a FLY BUY: Xyz post and fly folds from secret door stock picks.
    That will be accompanied by a classical music selection.

      Barely. The mighty Fly has been reduced to buying low-volume penny-stocks, like the “traders” with the $1000 bankrolls.

        Perhaps you need to get laid?

        That was one of my plays also. I figured the insider buying, circling the wagons, monstrous short positions, strong cash position, and some other strategic positions meant they were going to make a go of it. But, I too couldn’t stay too long either.

      I still have my plaid Towncraft sport jacket bought at JCP when I was in High School (very long time ago).

    Ragin’ Cajun had it right with the energy services sector as a buy last week (OIH etf).
    It bottomed (short term anyway) last Weds.-Thurs. time frame.
