Selling my Nvidia and Apple puts on talks of $850 billion stimulus package
Talks between Congress and the White House over a stimulus package of as much as $850 billion--designed to flood the economy with cash--have left stocks in a buoyant mood today. I think the package is likely to pass in the next week or so and that will restore even...
Adding Nvidia puts as “bear protection and profit play” to Volatility Portfolio
Earlier today I sold shares of Nvidia (NVDA) out of my Jubak Picks portfolio out of worry that we are looking at a further market dip that's likely to be especially hard on technology momentum stocks. Now I'm adding put options on Nvidia in my Volatility Portfolio...Putting on those Apple puts in today’s rally
One reason I decided to wait yesterday to put on those Apple (AAPL) September 18 puts (AAPL200918P00250000) in my Volatility Portfolio until today was a hope that the extremely wide bid/ask spread of Monday would narrow so that the put options wouldn't be as...
Still selling Intrexon (now Precigen) even though the 293% gain yesterday wasn’t real
Frankly, my first reaction was to think it was a misprint, especially because while the ticker still read XON, the name of the attached stock had changed from Intrexon to Precigen. And it was. A misprint, that is. The print yesterday showed that the stock, a member of...

I think today is just a pause in the China-coronavirus selling; I’m selling JD.Com out of my Volatility Portfolio today on the bounce.
In my thinking we've still got a way to go before markets can breathe a true sigh of relief and put coronavirus fears behind them. And move onto worrying about other things like economic growth rates in China, rising debt levels, and earnings growth for U.S. stocks in...

Selling emerging markets short ETF EUM out of my Volatility Portfolio
I don't know whether you've been able to hear it over all the other market noise--All the shouting on Brexit, for example--but there is a distinct and increasingly loud call from Wall Street that 2020 is the year to get back into emerging market assets. I don't happen...

Adding Xilinx to my Volatility Portfolio as one last FOMO pick through the end of the year
On November 6 I added chip maker Xilinx (XLNX) to my Volatility Portfolio as one last FOMO pick to go with Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) and Cirrus Logic (CRUS). The stock closed that day at $93.77. It closed essentially unchanged at $93.29 today. My argument for the...Jim’s Stock Alerts
