Buy the Damn Dips... Sell the Rips - 01.11.18 EL Chart

While those are intermediate-term products, another product I’ve built and evolved to help you generate shorter-term alpha is called Real-Time Alerts. They are short-term macro market signals expressed in the form of either stocks or macro ETFs.

Fortunately, I came into yesterday’s down US stock market open with 0 LONGS and 4 SHORTS. Since it was literally the only DOWN day of 2018, I covered 2 SHORTS for gains and added 2 LONGS. I did all of that on red.

Buy on red. Sell on green. I must be a bloody genius.

Obviously not. But, instead of chasing moving monkey charts (buying high, selling lower, etc.) and the latest Macro Tourism click-bait, my immediate-term risk management #process is designed to be buying the damn dips (red) and selling the rips (green).
