The Impervious and I discuss a new dark pool index, try to provide explanations for the market’s inexplicable run up and philosophize on bull markets in recessions and bear markets in expansions. Is the COVID defense trade back? Sean gives some insights on airlines, precious metals, tech, crypto and more. I offer an impassioned defense for why the retail trade will never go away and some book recommendations.

The Impervious starts his redemption tour after a shockingly wrong bear call last Sunday. We discuss SPY ripping past 300 and the prospects of a continued bull run (spoiler: neither of us think this can last). Sean talks forgotten sectors of the market and the potential for a rotation into small caps. We trade thoughts on continued U.S.-China tensions and how to trade impacted names. Finally, picks for the week - CRM, WDAY and SLV.

Sean previews notable earnings for next week in tech ($CRM, $SPLK) and home improvement ($HD, $L).

Max Widmer comes on to talk Zillow and the future of real-estate in the post-COVID world. Max is an Enterprise Sales Executive Team Lead in Zillow’s Premier Broker group and someone I’ve learned a ton from. We discuss Zillow’s flywheel and the breadth and depth of its platform, including 3D tours, Zillow Offers and the core of the business - how real estate agents value having a presence on the platform. Max explains how Zillow reduces friction in the real estate transaction process and we speculate on how COVID may change where people live permanently. We close with a spirited discussion on how COVID represents an opportunity to convert unstructured time to meaningful time.

The Impervious and I give an update on Week 1 of our $QQQ v. $BRK.B bet. Sean - out to a massive early lead - touts the merit of tech and death of value, while I vigorously defend Buffett and the brilliance of using insurance float to buy stocks. We review the folly of trading earnings and a terrible trade I made in $NET. Sean previews $DDOG earnings and some opportunities in $SDC, $CSPR, $IWM and $SLV. Once again, we return to the theme that price action is all that matters in trading short-term options.

I bring Nick Widmer on the podcast to talk about the future of advertising, company culture and crypto. Nick is one of the smartest people I know and has helped create ads that have aired during the Super Bowl and worked with an incredible range of clients including Jeep, Progressive and MGM. I ask Nick about ROIs on different types of advertising and a potential bubble in online ads. We discuss possible implications of COVID on company culture. Nick and I also both own some crypto and debate Paul Tudor Jones’ latest letter on bitcoin. What does COVID mean for BTC, fiat currency, stocks and more? I hope you enjoy our wide-ranging discussion.

TheImpervious and I speculate on Monday (5/4/2020) and beyond’s action in light of last week’s earnings news and the Oracle’s decision to sell down all of Berkshire’s airlines positions. Sean shares some options plays on $CVS, $DIS, and the airlines. We discuss escalations in China - U.S. tensions and what it could mean for equities (as well as a successful $FXI trade we both executed). We finish off with Sean’s top trading ideas and recommendations on entry and exit identification, position sizing and risk management.
