To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
Contagion
Please click here for a chart of China Evergrande Group (EGRNF).
Note the following:
- The stock market is selling off in the early trade. The excuse is the fear of contagion from the selloff in Evergrande stock in China.
- Evergrande is the second-largest property developer in China.
- Evergrande has diversified into a number of businesses including electric vehicles. Not long ago, the owner of Evergrande boldly claimed that he was going to crush Elon Musk.
- All you have to do is to look at the chart of Evergrande and it becomes evident that Evergrande was in trouble. This was well known to good strategists who keep an eye on developments outside the United States. Of course, the momo crowd and their gurus were oblivious.
- Last week, stock market momo crowd gurus were giving the infallible signal and their followers rushed in to buy aggressively. Please click here to see the infallible signal given by momo’s gurus.
- For details of the infallible buy signal, please read the Morning Capsule dated September 15th.
- Last week we wrote:
Nobody is asking the question, “What happens if the market breaks below the channel shown on the chart?”
- In response to the momo crowd’s infallible signal, not only we stayed cautious for the overall portfolio, we issued a short sell signal on QQQ in ZYX Short and a buy signal on inverse ETF SQQQ in ZYX Buy.
- Pay attention to the ‘Protection Bands and What To Do Now?’ section below.

Protection Bands and What To Do Now?
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.
Consider continuing to hold existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider holding 🔒 in cash or treasury bills or short-term bond funds or allocated to short-term tactical trades, and short to medium-term hedges of 🔒, and short term hedges of 🔒. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges. The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive. If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash. When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks. High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
