Money Vikings Investing Where are Da Bears? Week of 7/3/2023
In This Issue: Where are Da Bears? Market Report, Finviz/Sector Analysis, Sentiment Analysis, 🔴🟢 VIX Multi Year Lows, Hot🔥Trades - Bearish SPY Broken Wing 🦋
Happy 4th of July readers, and welcome to the 2nd half of the year! I can not find any 🐻bears left on this planet. Even my favorite perma-bear Tim Knight is starting to capitulate. With a face ripping rally of 3.49% IWM, 2.46% in SPY, 2.09% in DIA, and 2.05% in QQQ we could be heading to all time highs in the next few months. Believe it or not, I still have a bearish trade on, my SPY Broken Wing Butterfly, highlighted for Premium Members in the HotTrade section below. In our WOW Portfolio, WMT is up 9.46%, WM is up 10.44%. O is down -6.29%. If you adjust O for dividends of around +$25/month—it’s still ahead. This is not investment advice, but if you had put $1000 into each of these on Jan 1st, you’d have $3136 or 5% return not including dividends. Note this week is a shorter trading week with the 4th of July, and there aren’t any earnings to monitor.
