If you're bullish, you're crazy

Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

Black Friday sales set a new record this year… But this isn’t good news for the market. I explain why strong consumer spending is a negative from the Fed’s perspective—and why it will lead to higher interest rates. I’m an optimist—but the current bullish argument for stocks is crazy. I break down why we need to prepare for the most volatile market ever over the next 12–18 months… and why buying put options is the key to protecting yourself—and making a fortune—as stocks crash. Plus, I highlight a popular stock whose business model won’t work in the new, high-interest rate environment. (Speaking of puts, we’re running a special offer on Genia Turanova’s incredible Moneyflow Trader newsletter. Here’s how to lock in your membership at a deep discount.) My best advice is to start doing your homework on companies to bet against as interest rates keep rising. I also share an easy tool you can use to spot stocks to avoid (or buy puts on)... and some red flags to watch out for. Finally, I highlight why China isn’t the growth engine it once was… and why you should avoid companies that rely on the country for sales.
