Selling option premium has been very profitable for me and I hope to keep it going in 2025. With the incoming Trump administration’s dovish and supportive view on Bitcoin, I have to look at ways to make money off that. The IBIT ETF has been front and center lately for me and I will be looking to sell puts on this volatile bad boy. Here’s the chart for IBIT: ...
It’s no secret that I don’t like Bitcoin but the Gold Standard has its problems too. Here’s a comparison of the gold standard vs bitcoin. The Gold Standard and Bitcoin are two financial systems that have gained widespread attention in recent years. While they share similarities in that they both offer a form of decentralized currency, there are significant differences between the two systems. Here’s a closer look at the pros and cons of the Gold Standard versus Bitcoin. ...
It’s Saturday, January 30, 2021, and this your Market report. What a crazy week! Stocks had an up and down week, Metals were mixed, and Bitcoin is acting like a rabid lemming looking for a rocket or a cliff. Let’s start with… Gamestop. This week the WallStreetBets Reddit group (r/WSB) came out in force to crush Melvin Capital, a hedge fund that had heavily shorted GME shares. The r/WSB folks decided that this was wrong and created a short squeeze on Melvin’s position. This caused ALL kinds of insane price moves, which I wrote about in my “Short Squeezing Gamestop (GME)” Medium post. ...
It’s Saturday, January 23, 2021, and this your Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, and Stock Market report. What a week! Stock market indices close near all time highs, Bitcoin got clobbered earlier in the week, and Gold and Silver market rebound slightly. Stock markets rallied last week, buoyed by the incoming Biden Administration and its shift to taking the Covid19 pandemic seriously. Gold and Silver had price gains but the charts continue to show a slow slide to the downside. Bitcoin sold off in the week amid comments made by incoming Sectary of the Treasury Janet Yellen on limiting the use of Bitcoin. ...
It’s Saturday, January 16, 2021, and this your Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, and Stock Market report. The markets take a pause this week to catch their breath! Gold and Silver drop this week, Bitcoin sells off from record highs, and the Dow Jones / Nasdaq / S&P500 pull back from recent highs. The markets are entering a consolidation phase with profit-taking happening in the stock markets and possibly Bitcoin. We expect more of this in the coming week as Biden Administration takes over. That said, the threat of violence from alt-right terrorists is quite possible for next week which could generate volatility in the highly speculative markets of Bitcoin and Silver. ...
It’s Saturday, January 9, 2021, and this your Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, and Stock Market report. What a week! With the Capitol riots in DC - incited by the outgoing Trump administration - many anticipated the markets to fall. Instead, they all charged higher closing at all-time highs! The Stock Market likes the incoming Biden administration because more stimulus is coming. Bitcoin rallied to another record this week breaking and closing above $40,000 a coin. ...
Happy New Year! It’s Friday January 1, 2021 and this your Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin market report! Markets are closed today. Gold closed up +1.89% this week to $1,893.09. Silver also closed higher, up +1.97% to $26.33. Bitcoin had another spectacular week, closing the 2020 year at $29,001.72. Gold Chart Gold closed the year closer to the $1,900 level contrary to our call to be closer to the $1,800 level. Gold Bulls wanted to finish the year strong and they did, however the Bears stopped them just shy of the magic $1,900 level. This does not bode well for Gold Bulls as the resistance is becoming too strong. I suspect that over the next few weeks our models might generate a new resistance line. ...
