Some victory laps + updating some trade hedging ratios to manage risk properly, along with some colour on what's coming soon.
DYOD!
Hello all,
As many of you probably know, it has been a helluva week with some banger successful calls, and I think I’ve earned the right to take juuust a few victory laps on some of the trade recommendations. Here we go:
Victory laps:
August 5th: Short TZUP. 20% Profit
Thesis was: Celebrity investor filing to sell shares + trading at MASSSIVVEE premium to crypto holdings + did just 150 dollars in revenue in recent quarter
August 6th: Long GROW, Short JETS: 9.02% profit (hedging ratios explained in article taken into account)
Small cap company with huge net cash position buying back shares and having a fast growing ETF
August 6th: Long MKTW: 2% profit
Thesis was: Co. with nice growth prospects (not too good but better than street’s anticipations) with net cash position buying back shares
August 7th: Long GRVY: 10% profit
Thesis was: Topline growth in company + entrance of activist can unlock shareholder value
How I am playing the same trades listed above going forward (small tweaks in position sizing, hedging ratios, etc)
Well, so far, the trades have worked beautifully. However, there have been some commentary I have been meaning to give out regarding the trades I’ve shared with the paid subscribers.
Above is the graph of MKTW. We have hit a short term resistance, so I would suggest taking some risk off, and adding more at the support level which has held far better than I expected, at about 18.2$ ish
GROW recently had a breakout after our report but is heading a little lower to test the resistance it broke out of, and I think that would be a good place to add some more, which is at about 2.45$ ish
As for the JETS short that I recommended as a hedge to GROW (beta hedged with a slight overshoot, where I recommended for every 10,000$ long you are of GROW, go short 1500$), I think it might be time to boost the JETS shorts by just a little bit. For instance:
We are approaching (or have already approached) a resistance and I think some short term underperformance in JETS can be captured quite nicely by boosting our short hedges in the name
GRVY is doing great so far and I expect it to do great in the future. However it is a little bit of a sleepy name so don’t be surprised if there is some short term volatility. I think it’ll come back down to 65$ at some point to retest the resistance levels, where I’ll be gobbling up shares like a hungry pig.
