Trading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 11/17/20:

What’s new? NOTHING! Another promising vaccine announced. Covid-19 spiking up. Potential lock downs. Bitcoin jumped up over $2,000 since last week. Ethereum up over 6%. Gold steady and basically unchanged. Equities soared. Ho Hum!

What to do now? Buy the dip in gold. Bitcoin and ETH have begun a MAJOR move higher. OK to keep adding long positions. Bitcoin will challenge the old all time highs ($20,000). Jump into the equities at your own peril. Enough said.

But first, I am going to continue posting my year end price predictions (below) since I am always transparent (right or wrong) and have total conviction. Bold huh?

Year end BTC price? $17,500.

Year end ETH price? $500.

Year end GOLD price? $2,200.

  • BITCOIN hit our previous near term target of $15,000, moved right through it and has just kept going
  • BTC Next target……a test of $20,000. So far the upside has been fairly orderly
  • Today (Tuesday) super hedge fund manager Ray Dalio (Bridgewater Associates) announced he is “re-thinking” BITCOIN. He has been a big BTC skeptic (that’s being kind)
  • ETH is still following BITCOIN.
  • Think of ETH being silver to BTC being GOLD.
  • Look for ETH to move to $500- $550 as BITCOIN moves closer to the $20,000 level.
  • GOLD had rallied back to $1,950, sold off to $1,850 , pushed up to $1,900 and now settling just under that $1,900 number.
  • Re-balancing! GOLD traders/investors scaling back those positions and moving into BITCOIN.
  • GOLD may be “calm money” for a bit and then make another move higher……by year end.
  • Stay long. GOLD, buy the dips, upside target is $2,500……yup, $2,500. Longer term? $3,000-$3,500.
  • KEEPING LAST WEEK’S COMMENTS ON THE EQUITY MARKETS (S&P 500). NO CHANGE!
  • Now on to the equity market (S&P 500). IT’S INSANE. CRAZY. I am wrong for a while on timing…..and really, not stubborn.
  • Keep putting some “gentle” shorts out on strength.    
  • S&P 500 “dips” to 2,500-2,600? Sticking to it.

Current trading positions:  LONG BITCOIN,  LONG ETH, LONG GOLD & SHORT S&P 500
