Inside WallStreetWindow Podcast

In this video update I wanted to give a real talk about the real role of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in an investment account. How do they do at times of stock market volatility? Are they safe havens or instruments of simple speculation? If they are only the latter, which I believe they are, then they only work for people when they time things right from a pure trading perspective.

I also talk about gold, silver, and precious metals in this video.

I own some penny stocks in a portion of my account I have devoted to speculation. However, many penny stocks that trade on the US Over The Counter Market (OTC) are going to crash due to incoming September new SEC rules about "Pink No Information" securities. They basically are going to stop US brokers from allowing trades in OTC stocks that do not make the required filings with the SEC.

Many stocks trading now will stop trading. Traders in them are likely to sell ahead of the SEC deadline and crash them. The good news is that there are plenty of penny stocks that are perfectly fine and will not be impacted at all. If anything people will take money out of the bad ones and put them into the good ones. This is going to be a good cleanup for the stock market.

You can easily tell if a penny stock, whether you own it already or not, is already in compliance with the incoming SEC regulations or not. I show you how in this video.

In today's stock trading update I want to talk about AMC stock and rumors that have been circulating around it in regards to hedge funds using AMC bonds to manipulate the stock. No one who is a serious trader believes these rumors and yet they spread everywhere last week. This article on SeekingAlpha debunks them:

There are some simple reasons that explain why AMC shares are trading the way they are, with implications for where they are headed. I talk about them in this stock trading video update using technical analysis charts.

Real estate prices are rising in a bull market. They are up nationally over 14% in the past twelve months. Last year around September I decided that I wanted to invest in real estate and looked at the various ways that I could do it. I came to the conclusion that the best and simplest way for me to do it was on the stock market. In this video I talk about an exchange traded fund I own in my IRA that does this and the Colombia Property Trust company that I own a position in too also. I like investing in stocks that pay dividends, having steady earnings, instead of real speculative money losing companies that are so popular right now, but tend to be flashes in the pan.

In June the price of gold took a hit and fell from over $1900 an ounce down to $1750. It has since bounced back above $1800, but we saw a nasty down day in the middle of last week in mining stocks, although they bounced back Friday. How can we make sense of these gyrations on a technical analysis chart? Is this a new downtrend in gold and silver playing out or a simple stabilization?

I talk about these questions in this video.

Yesterday, the stock market fell a little bit and today the stock market got hit even harder on the open, to cause the VIX to go up 20% at one point during the day, but the most interesting move this week is actually happening in the bond market as the 10-year Treasury bond yield got down to 1.25 on Thursday.

In this video I talk about what is moving bonds, how I traded them, and what they are likely to do next. I also talk about their relationship on these moves to gold, silver, and the commodity market.

Also, yesterday I did a video update with Ike Iossif in which he went over his money flow indicators for the stock market and gold stocks. This is an important interview you can find here:

We have been seeing the S&P 500 go straight up, but how strong is the rally from a stock trading perspective? We also saw gold and mining stocks take a dip in June. Is that a major top or is this dip a buying opportunity?


These are questions I explored with Ike Iossif, who gave us an update on what his money flow indicators are showing in regards to these two key market indices. You can get more of Ike's work at his website marketviews.tv.

Today before the opening bell, in stock market news for today, an OPEC meeting, failed as talks collapsed among members seeking to limit oil production. That is bullish for oil prices, however the price of oil gapped up on the open as the NYSE opened and then went red and most energy stocks followed suit.

Why?

In this segment I explain how this type of action is fairly commonplace in stock market trading and how it might happen again in other stocks in the coming weeks.

In this podcast I spoke with Carmine Savastano the author of the Book The Human Time Bomb about an article he wrote titled The Corporate Morality Mask. "Several corporations have been moralizing to customers and using corporate power to censor information and influence politics in the name of better practices for quite some time. These corporations have altered their business practices to use social issues for influencing potential customers, limiting worker behavior and thought, and shaping legal policies in a psychological attempt to make customers believe a corporation has moral ethics or is worthy of emulation," writes Carmine.

The price of gold has exploded this year with gold now trading around $1800 and close to the all-time highs it set on the technical analysis charts back eight years ago. Mining stocks and gold have both outperforming the stock market this year, but people are worried about the risks of a correction with gold trading near $1800.

How risky is this situation for new gold buying now?

I asked Jordon-Roy Bryne of www.thedailygold.com this question and more.
