Well-Placed Bets

By -

As horrid as 2024 has been for the bears, well-placed short bets have been going very well lately. This is in spite of the blowtorch of asset price gains that have been happening on a daily basis, such as the ceaseless ascent of tech stocks, represented by the NQ……….

I continue to hold faith that the likes of NVDA will help lead the way lower, particularly now that its beautiful H&S top is complete.

Of course, my own favorite top is specific to a certain country fund, namely EWZ, which is my largest position and continues to do very well. And we know precisely whom to thank for that.
