This was a slow week grind up which played well to start then died out toward the end.
There was a special situation trade in DeltaOne on SAVE 0.00%↑ - that is paying off well.
We closed an AST alert and Opened a new one.
I also ended the 4 week mastermind for Portfolio Management. That will open up next year again on a quarterly basis with the full recordings.
It really is (not my words, mine are an MBA for trading) a “PHD in Trading” - so that was good to hear.
No new blogs this week.
This has been a really good year so far if you paid attention and were nimble. The fact is, most don’t pay attention.
They like to get into crowded trades (NVDA longs/Uranium) and forget about things like the huge home builders short 2 months ago.
Or CELH short a while ago.
This week, if you were a subscriber, oil short was a big call.
We could sit here and just talk about this one idea in the report right now because it was that big.
Sadly, I can’t put that into the AST portfolio because it was a short-term trade, not a swing.
But if you read the cliff notes and charts section I lay the important stuff out.
We’ve had a good year in the fund - the LP is up about 30% and some managed accounts close to 50% which puts an average return around 40% all on low 7 figure portfolios.
I often sit here and wonder why most people miss on these ideas - really.
The housing one in particular; I had a lot of emails (more after this article) asking why. Some saying not a chance until unemployment rises.
It’s silly. By the time the bad news comes out the trades are done. - Re, Carvana 2022.
Maybe it’s because market participants are obsessed with calling “the market” - not sure but I’ve always been a curious person and this is one answer that still evades me.
What I do know is that there are (and have been) some active swings in the report that have performed and are going to perform - the one alert that was sent out this week in particular I think should be a 2/3 bagger for the equity at least.
BABA 0.00%↑ was a dud - that’s ok since it was small loss but there are ideas that are going to work well the next 2-3 months if you can just sit your ass down and be patient.
At the risk of sounding like a hardo, you have to find a way to win and each week, each quarter, each year is a chance to do that and it’s something that I enjoy doing and hope to continue to do for many years to come.
I’ll be headed back to Puerto Rico next week and that’s welcomed as I wind down this year, get some surfing in and prepare for Q124.
The report will be out Sunday.
See ya then.

Look forward to this report every week. I did take one of the housing shorts and did very well with that. I am currently in three of the AST trades and they are doing very well. Thanks and keep up the good work.
