Yes investors and traders, wars are NOT bullish. Oh sure, short brief bombing runs are kind of OK, but longer more drawn out affairs are a bit different. You never know what is going to happen, but I say again, it’s NOT bullish.
So, while we watch the markets sell off (gasp) let’s come to the reality that we have begun a bear market. Yes folks, they do happen. Get those dreams of instant riches out of your mind. This is going to get ugly. Remember;
- The bear don’t care if you’re fully invested
- The bear don’t care if you’re highly leveraged
- The bear don’t care about you’re 401k’s
- The bear don’t care about anything except causing monetary disintegration
As I said last week, there is no hiding (hmmm, maybe…..maybe BITCOIN) from the bear. The S&P 500 is NOT going to, and through, 7,000. GOLD probably has hit its top (silver for sure) but BITCOIN looks interesting down here.
For sure the volatility is gonna get wild. Use hedges. Like, the S&P 500. I like buying a higher strike call and selling a lower and deeper call. One to One. Two or three months out. Plenty of time to participate in a big downturn and not get hurt in a bear market rally.
Same for GOLD. GOLD could easily return to $4K-$4,500. Remember, there will be a lot of war displaced people fleeing countries. Very hard to get GOLD bars through TSA and equivalents, not to mention the overweight baggage charges. Even if you do, the airport gift shops don’t take GOLD bars.
Which leads us to BITCOIN. Time to nibble at buying. Put it in a personal wallet and fly through the airport on your way to you’re new country. Or, if you are in a safe country (please tell me where it is….I’m coming) use options. Bullish call spreads. I use the IBIT ETF, buying 6 months or more out calls and selling an equal amount of higher strike calls. Always hedge. Remember, volatility is great if your right, and hedging saves you if you’re wrong.
See you next week. Off to fill the car up with gas before it goes higher.
