August 27, 2016: Cristal Ball…

Warren Buffet once said, “I try to buy stock in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will.” I would say the same thing about countries. This election and its aftermath is going to be a nightmare…

Today we pulled out the old crystal ball. We spent a little time talking about the deteriorating finances of the country, then we looked at what was coming. We talked about the Fed, stocks, bonds, oil and a little gold. In general, this market may hold up through the election, even through next spring (it also might not), but then it could get pretty ugly.

For more specifics, check out this week’s show here:

Given this week’s topic I am going to be doing a special class, “How And When To Use Options For Income, Wealth And Protection”. I will be teaching this class personally.If you would like free tickets to the class, call 84-48-Income (844.846.2663) and tell them that you read about it on the Next Week In Stocks website.

January 23, 2016: Cashin Out?

Over the last couple of years on this show I have covered a wide range of topics that I thought were relevant to your investments and life. This week I read an interview with Art Cashin, a 50+ year floor veteran on the NYSE which covered many of these same topics. In this week’s show I discussed his perspective and provided some additional thoughts of my own. Some of it is practical advice to understand the mood of the market, some of it is more useful in understanding the real weakness in the market and the economy that is still not apparent (yes, it can get worse).

Check it out here:

Given this week’s topic we are going to be doing a special class, “Protection and Profit in Any Market”. We will discuss not just surviving, but profiting from both up and down markets; we are likely to see both. If you would like free tickets, call 84-48-Income (844.846.2663) and tell them that you read about it on the Next Week In Stocks website. I hope to see you there!

November 21, 2015: Managing Your Money In A 9/12 World

The attacks in Paris are a reminder of the randomness of life. While obviously there is nothing that compares to the human tragedy suffered by the victims and their loved ones, there are many other effects as well.

I was thinking about the impact this would have on everyone in this country if this happened not in Paris, but New York. How would markets respond? What if the attack was even worse? Again, the human tragedy should be the main focus of such an event, but the impact on the financial lives outside of New York could be substantial as well. The question is, are you prepared for such an event? How can you prepare? How should you respond? These questions were discussed in this week’s show. It will also be the focus of an upcoming class, “Managing Your Money In A Post 9/11 World”. If you would like free tickets, call 84-48-Income (844.846.2663) and tell them that you read about it on the Next Week In Stocks website.

Stay safe.

September 5, 2015: Psyched Out…

This show was recorded on Wednesday night, September 2nd, at about 10pm. The market was up, both during the day and after hours, and there was talk of us having “reached the bottom”. I don’t think so. It appears that the psychology of the market has changed and that the selling will continue.

In the show we talked about how to interpret the market’s reaction to Friday’s jobs report (two days after this was recorded). The suspicion was that the market would likely move down (which it did), regardless of whether the report was good or bad, but that the key was to watch for the follow through next week. I suspect it will continue to be weak. That said, there could be quite a bit of volatility between now and the Fed meeting and perhaps even some strong rallies. I would look for rallies as opportunities to buy puts and to short, rather than looking for dips to buy. Learn more here:

On the radio it can be difficult to explain these ideas clearly so I am going to personally be doing a couple more special classes on this topic. If you would like free tickets, call 84-48-Income (844.846.2663) and tell them that you read about the class on the Next Week In Stocks website. Hope to see you there!

July 25, 2015: Who Should Your Money Work For?

Well, the market continues to weaken and is unable to break out and hold new highs. This continues to suggest that the best money will be made on the indexes on the downside and our Put trade idea continues to work. Our previous projections that S&P earnings and the Chinese markets would weaken appear at this point to be accurate. Greece will remain an issue and Spain and Portugal aren’t far behind. I still think GDP for Q2 will also be below expectations. Net/net, I don’t see a lot of reason to be long the market right now.

Given all that, today we talked about various investment vehicles like 401(k)’s, IRA’s, 403(b)’s, etc. and whether or not they were really appropriate investment vehicles for most people. Unfortunately, the answer is “no”. Tune in to find out why! Also, I am going to be doing a couple of special classes this week on this topic at our Scottsdale campus. If you are currently in any of these vehicles and want to understand more about better alternatives, we would love to have you come out. If you would like a pair of free tickets, call 844.846.2663, but seating is strictly limited, so call now. When they are gone, they are gone…

January 24, 2015: The Shadow Of Crisis Is Passed…

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
Thy Phone and thy Pen they comfort me.

– 23rd Psalm, 2.0

As we said in the show, we almost didn’t do a program this week. Listening to the State Of The Union almost convinced us that all of our problems were solved. Then we heard about this deflated football thing and decided we really needed to stay on the case…

This week we talked about not just the Shadow of Crisis, but the Storm Clouds on the Horizon; specifically the Greek vote, the ECB QE plan, the Canadian interest rate cut, the takeover of Yemen, the death of King Abdullah, and the unpegging of the Swiss Franc. We also discussed using options to protect against all of these things and shared some thoughts on gold.

We may be pessimists, but if we are right, we will have at least one more week of things to talk about…

January 3, 2015: In These Markets, Always Use Protection…

This was a follow-up to our last show from 12/20 (we took a week off at Christmas. Can I say that word on the internet?) Anyway, we got the big run-up in the market after the Fed meeting, and as we suspected, Put options got a lot cheaper (although not as cheap as when we talked about this in November). This week we talked about why it is so important to protect your investments with Puts, and why they were a great vehicle to make money on the downside. We talked a bit about Greece, the strong dollar and oil, all of which will impact markets this year, and probably not in a good way, for most people. As a general note, the market action right now seems very weak, but volume is also very low. However, I don’t see anything that dampens my concern about the market in 2015.

A quick heads-up. I will be doing a special one day class on my market forecast for 2015 . We gave away tickets during the show, but if you are reading this and you haven’t missed the class (and it isn’t full), you can get a free ticket by calling (844) 887-2337 and tell them you saw this on the Next Week In Stocks website. The official class title is: “2015 Market Forecast:  How to Prepare and Prosper in the Coming Year.” In it I will cover not only my view on a variety of markets (including real estate, gold, oil, US and emerging market stocks and bonds), but also how to use different asset classes (Stocks, Options, Futures, Forex) in this environment. I will be doing the class personally, so if you want to better understand my analysis, ask questions, argue with my conclusions, come on out. I haven’t done one of these since early last year and I’m really looking forward to it.

June 2, 2014: GLD Straddle Update

If you are following the GLD trade from the 5/17/2014 show, it is currently up about 30%.  Not bad for a couple of weeks’ work, so position is being closed. GLD is entering a demand zone, so we might see a bounce here. That said, overall trajectory still looks down.

May 17, 2014: Straddle Up!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…

Looking at the market we see that it still wants to go higher. Between the Fed and the lowering of standards for loans for Fannie and Freddie, there is a push from below. That said, there is a tremendous amount of risk, economic, geopolitical, etc. When you don’t know what the market is going to do, but you think it is going to do something, that is where an option strategy called a straddle can make sense. In today’s show we looked at the various positives and negatives of the market, then we focused on a specific straddle on the GLD (gold). Check it out and see how we do!

February 22, 2014: I’ve Got Your Number…

Covered a lot of ground today, but a common theme:  the use and misuse of numbers in government statistics, as well as in the private sector. It is hard to make good decisions when you get bad numbers and we are getting little else right now from TPTB. This week we looked at some examples and the reasons we are being misled.

Bonus question answered in the show. In December, China and Japan sold off more than $50 billion in US Treasuries. The Fed bought $40 billion, but it was buying new issues as well. Another country stepped up and bought $58 billion of US Treasuries in December (and over half of all US Treasuries purchased by overseas buyers in 2013). Can you guess who it is? If not, check out the show for the answer!
