The real competition in many areas of technology are other western nations. Asia does well in manufacturing and some hardware aspects because labour is cheap and they invested heavily in these areas. But IT if anything is moving to more personal models that demand different skill sets. What we...

The Asian model of overworking and overeducating their kids doesn't really work all that well. In most cases a Bachelor degree is plenty of education to pursue a successful career in IT. A truly successful solution in IT requires innovative thinking, social skills, and working smart. I think the...

You're not doing the research so depending on your feelings seems problematic. This site is littered with people ( active and inactive posters ) who felt as you did almost every year since 2009. Even some of the more reasonable bears were hyperboling in 2013 and 2014 like it was all going to...

Another thought on US IT. I am somewhat conflicted because when I recently looked at the financial statements some of the firms seem to have weak fundamentals or are pricing in way too much upside. On the other hand, I have family in the business easily making a ton of money and generating...

Trump is hateful though he doesn't value other people unless he can use them to get ahead himself. Even when he had Covid he just attended the events regardless. The funny part about Trump is he's historically a destructor of capital more then any kind of builder. And he does seem racist in...

Good chance this goes to zero ( or irrelevance on pink sheets ) longer term. So all the permabears on here should be loading up the truck on this one. One of the biggest scams of the market is these fund raising stocks that extract money on hype and the boost that the new money initially adds to...

Important to understand though that with interest rates at 0.25% they can go up 2-3% not really kill much of anything besides the psychology of the stock market. And certain parts of the market will excel in this kind of move although with a choppy route. Cdn Banks for example may be killing it...

I suspect something like long GOOG and short DWAC as a pairs trade will pay off long term if you select the entry points well ( just a rough idea I haven't researched it ). Sometimes the best plays are brutally obvious if you ignore short term noise. For example, last year when TD hit $50 Cdn (...

The market reaction to the CPI number and Friday being relatively strong compared to normal suggests we aren't likely near a market sell off this month. That being said, UVXY seems like a good trading vehicle short term but SCO I think your read remains bad on Oil price moves. I think you trade...

A swing trading perspective with some day trades mixed in. I move to longer holds or cash when opportunities dry up. Daily surges and declines in markets are very valuable in determining what stocks are keepers and what to dump. I try to sell the weaker cousins on any recovery moves and try my...

Ok that's a personal system not sure if it will work well or not on various etfs. The energy stocks I trade are no longer correlated very tightly with commodity prices suggested the value play in Canada is finally being recognized ( as long as WTI stays above $60 most are highly profitable $70+...

Sociopaths don't really care what happens to society other then if their medical insurance rates go up. Taking away their jobs or jacking up their insurance rates if they aren't vaccinated probably has some effectiveness though. If someone he knew died from Covid, and it wasn't one of his kids...

You're too stupid that's got to impact your life expectancy more then anything. Might be why Americans live 3 years less then Canadians. Certainly almost 4 times as many Covid deaths isn't going to help that stat. Watch and learn if you live long enough to find out Covid vaccines don't hurt...

Ken's ETFs today so far ( note that Friday's are often the most bearish day of the week ) : UVXY -6.6%, KOLD -6.2%, SCO -3.2%, TZA + 1.9%, SQQQ -1.6%

Same sentiment in Canada we really question what the hell happened in the US are these people not supposedly educated ?

Once interest rates start to rise, anything in bonds or some utilities may perform badly.

Seriously though the chances that all those etfs double in the stated time frame is less then 1% imo, and he's "confident" that it will happen. That's a little delusional in nature. That's the thing about day traders you need to know your lane if you don't research and carefully monitor say Oil...

You are the high risk John E. M. . Not enough dead people yet for you ? Why is it Canada has barely more then a quarter of the Covid death rate of the US now ? Are Americans somehow inherently weaker or sicker then Canadians ? Well, maybe to some degree, but not enough to create a factor of...

Some of my Cdn energy stocks hit new 52 week highs today.

Ok let's see how your DOUBLE BY JAN 31 guarantee is doing so far ( starting figures roughly ) : UVXY 23.52 --> 17.28, TZA 31.08 --> 27.21 SQQQ 6.91 --> 6.05. SCO 16.30 --> 14.21, KOLD 10.55 --> 12.91 While not impossible it seems unlikely. KOLD you'll need a lot of warm weather...
