Fundamental Trends - Kirk Spano's

I want to be able to interact with you, answer questions and help out with managing investment positions. So, to help us connect, I am setting up a regular chat schedule that I should be able to keep most of the time (my guess is I’m on 80% of the time I say I will be).

Maintaining Asset Allocation

July 1, 2019

With another pause in the ramping up of the trade war, markets were feeling bullish Monday morning. However, that bullishness has been fading as the day went on. Maybe markets realize there was no real trade progress made. Maybe the markets are focused on other things.

The New Paradigm Crushing Oil & Gas Stocks

June 5, 2019

Oil and gas stocks are under pressure from different directions. However, ultimately, prices will support profits. If you are afraid of oil and gas stocks now, maybe it’s time to buy.

Get Ready To Buy Stocks Again

May 30, 2019

Amidst all the unappointed trade worry warriors, de facto Lords of debt bombs and bongo bubble blowers preaching narratives to us about why, how and when the world is going to end again, I have but one Presidential thing to say to them…..Bull$µ!#.

Wait For The Reds Of Their Eyes

May 23, 2019

The market got choppy on the “trade war” worries. That is opening up some trading opportunities for about the next year. Technical indicators are showing that we stand a good chance of seeing a big sell-off through next week, possibly heading as low as about 2600 on the S&P 500. It is unlikely that we see the December lows this time around as there is no tax-loss selling and no […]

Trade Alert: Dividend Stock

August 12, 2019

We have an opportunity to buy a solid financial stock – NOT in the dangerous banking industry – that pays over a 7% dividend. It is in a growing business and will be entering Europe soon. This is a chance to have a double to triple in total return the next 5 years or so with low risk.

Quick Thoughts On VXX & QQQ

August 8, 2019

The correction we are seeing is a prelude to what I expect in 2020 as the economy softens and buybacks slowdown. Between now and then, we should see choppiness as smart money fades rallies and the oblivious permabulls buy the dips (perma anything are oblivious). I expect a bit of an “end of QT” rally after Labor Day possibly through January, albeit with more volatility than normal. VXX We nearly […]

The “A Team” Stocks I Want To Buy Soon

August 5, 2019

Stock market corrections are about the only time to buy high quality companies at a discount. Corrections are also the best time to buy potential ten-baggers on a pullback. We were smart to allocate huge percentages to cash recently, now we need to be smart picking great companies for our portfolios. Below are two lists. The first are very high quality companies with stocks that are approaching rare bargain territory. The second list are companies that have big growth and are potential ten-baggers over the next decade on this pullback.

Greedometer: VXX And SPY Hedges Up Substantially This Week

August 2, 2019

For those of you active in the chat, you saw that we discussed buying some SPY puts a couple weeks ago and VXX calls on Monday. The SPY puts are up about 50% and the VXX calls have roughly doubled in 4 days. How you manage these depends on how greedy you are.

Asset Allocation Update

July 24, 2019

With the VIX extremely low, that virtually always signals at least a couple weeks of volatility coming. Most investors can use this opportunity to raise cash. Traders have another opportunity.
