More insight-fullness
At the lowest level, having some insights on which environment you are investing in does have its benefits. Example; it seems obvious now to stay away from the energy sector and buy gold, though John Thomas was progressively mentioning this during the 2nd half of last year, especially with energy. Then in January โ20 & Feb โ20 he really pushed (options traders) & investors to build a gold position.
There is some degree of economic mentoring being shared in 5 simple bullet points that can inform an investor who does not have the time to keep spending hours of research on this stuff. I find it compliments a longterm portfolio even simply having an extra 5% insights to check in on.
Well summed up - thatโs exactly why I read his emails - I may not agree with all the content or attitudes, but its some extra intel from someone with more subject knowledge & experience than I have. I just ignore the options commentary and pushes for the paid subscription stuff.
Does the email come with an โunsuscribeโ option?
Just a bit concerned if I sign up and get lots of spam.
I always delete them after reading so cant check, but Iโll confirm after I receive the next one - Iโm pretty sure there is one though. On that note, he does send a lot of emails - usually one a day, sometimes 2 or 3 if he is pushing a conference or subscription.
On Gmail you select unsubscribe at the top of the email.
Just got one so can confirm now - there is a manage my subscription link, clicking that allows you to unsubscribe
Did he know something about talks with ByteDance over TikTok? Or lucky punt?

A pattern has emerged with him usually having a good insight himself. He seems to prove himself as a great player of the game.
His trade alert for Microsoft seems pretty legit timing.

Trade Alert: Buy GLD
ignoring the Options bit and interesting to read his โ5 Reasons Gold is Going to a New Highโ
Canโt say I agree with all of his reasons but I agree that Gold has a lot more to run once it breaks $2000
Where do you get the trade alerts from?
I do some searching on his site. Only can find snippets usually

Does that mean that he expects Apple to drop in price over the coming month?
Yes, it is realistically in line for a drop/consolidation.
Do we know the price he expects it to reach?
