Hi Everyone,
First of all these crashes always die off when the market runs out of sellers, and as many as 20% of the shares sold are borrowed (short selling).
Ever since the stock market went on the internet, I have been seeing on line market doomsday video pitches by so called famous and highly accurate financial authors like Stansbury, Rickards and Altschuler, forecasting major pending crashes, and if you subscribed to their offerings (sometimes as much as $2500/yr), you got their secret and exclusive answers on making a killing in a crashing market. If you subscribed, as I have, you often got mostly a series of “invitation” pitches for all of their other rags. BUT, EVEN A BROKEN CLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY and that includes the Dooms Day Authors.
In reality, we talk about the market negatives and countering them all the time. 3 of our Extreme Dividend Hedge Funds – CRASH, DIPS and FIAT – are specifically programmed against their reference markets. But whether the upside or downside is favored at any given time, most of our funds always seem to make money, regardless. It is true that our Xtreme portfolios sometimes devalue as many investors just don’t get it – not realizing that their funds are either partly self insured within specific trade strategies, or they are making a big dividend profit off of both ends of the market swings. When they panic and cash out they lose both principle and dividends. Who makes the money they lose – YUP, WE DO – THATS WHY WE LOAD UP WHEN OTHER INVESTORS ARE PANICKING.
Including those mentioned by the above authors, there are many ways traders make heaps in bad markets, e.g., betting on closing price ranges for something like the SPX at the end of the day (whether up or down). I’ve actually done it twice turning $300 into $1600 in a 4 hour period with butterfly options, but I wasn’t consistent at it, and I didn’t like what those 4 hr periods did to my blood pressure.
Today there was an exaggerated market crash programmed to take advantage of tariff fears, and delivered by creating panic among retail investors with political and analytical articles. The crash beneficiaries include anti Trump politicians, short sellers who hire the so called analysts and reporters – (they are making absolute fortunes manipulating today’s market) and finally those of us who are smart enough to be Extreme Dividend Bargain Hunters buying for example the way under priced YieldMax funds.
So when evil forces work against the market at times like today, we can focus on making capital gains or just enjoying the dividends of our negative investments; we can continue to hunt for more positive and negative profits at very discounted prices; we can hold and watch while we decide the best course of action – do nothing; or we can cave in to the market fears and hand over our precious money to smarter people than us. WHAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU?
