A number of analysts, and even some of those in the real estate industry, thought that there would never be a recovery in residential real estate. Long time readers of this letter know too well that I went hugely negative on the sector in late 2005, when I unloaded all of my holdings. However, I

I don?t double up short positions very often. I am too old to lose all my money and go back to work as an entry-level analyst at Morgan Stanley. Besides, they probably wouldn?t have me back anyway. It is a different company than it was 30 years ago, a lot different. However, the dead cat,

Watching the market melt down today, I have been hurriedly compiling a shopping list of stocks to buy, and writing the Trade Alerts in advance for readers to execute. If I am right about interest rates remaining flat or rising for the rest of the year, then financials have to be at the absolute top

During last month?s Concourse d? Elegance vintage car show at Pebble Beach, California, I managed to catch up with Tesla?s senior management. All lights were flashing green, and it was full speed ahead. The new Gigafactory being built outside Reno, Nevada will pave the way for the firm?s entry into the mass market. The big

It now appears that the ?Alibaba? correction (BABA) is at hand. I warned you, pleaded with you, and begged you about this yesterday, and on May 8 (click here for ?Will Alibaba Blow Up the Market?).

The US has not had a history of excessive debt since the Revolutionary War, except during WWII, when it briefly exceeded 100% of GDP. That abruptly changed in 2001, when George W.

Interest rates are unchanged. Quantitative easing gets cut by $15 billion next month, and then goes to zero. Most importantly the key ?considerable period? language stayed in the FOMC
