Today’s Speculative Bets: Puts on NASDAQ and S&P500

[stockstradr]

>>As to shorting oil, why throw good money after bad?

That’s a fair question. I was being more dramtic than serious in my follow-up post “I’m going to double-down my oil bets”

I think there are better bets. God only knows how high oil will climb before we see a significant correction. Maybe $200/bbl.

I’ve been watching the Shanghai index again. It has fallen from 6,100 down to 2750, and has now recovered a tiny bit. Back in May ’05 it was at 1,000 and I was in China visiting in laws and begging my wife (who is Chinese) to help me find a broker and open an account in her name so I could buy the Shanghai index. We visited a few brokers, but in the end she refused because her family felt the Chinese stock market was too risky. Well they are right about that, but I was smart enough to see that 1,000 had to be near the bottom. After that the index went up 6X in 2 1/2 years and I didn’t make a friggin’ dime on that.

So now with that Index crashing again, my second chance may be coming up. However, I want the Shanghai index to go lower than 2,700, certainly below 2,000 before I start buying.

I’ve heard there are now some funds or ETF’s that westerners can buy that have exposure to the Shanghai exchange, but I’m not sure of the specifics.

stocktradr: if you are really that smart (as you try to make others to believe), would you honestly share with us how much you made last year and how much you made this year, in terms of percentage point of your total portfolio? I just want to make sure that you are not a dead clock.

Seems like stocktradr left a trail to be calle don and at least this time it was right. May 1 post said market going lower. What has the market done. Gone lower. That is one example of being right.

OK, let’s recap.

🙂

Before it happens I tell you the market will fall 10%. I offer this while the market’s still on an upswing (instead of calling a downtrend after it has already resumed). Then the inflection point (downtrend resumes) follows my prediction by only two weeks.

I even tell you exactly what to buy, and had you bought those options you would be now up over 50%, and right on schedule.

Have I not made it easy enough for yah?

🙂

What do you want? Do you want me to put large stacks of hundred-dollar bills directly into your open palm? How about Fed Ex’ing bars of gold to your home? Would that work better for you?

I love you guys who always gotta post the flamer posts.
