Chris Johnson covered hedging and revealed his two favorite positions today (9 a.m. ET)

  • Here are Chris' simple hedge strategies to implement now:
    • Buy positions with a target in mind and use GTC limit orders to close positions at those targets.
    • Use the oversold bounce rallies to position for the next round of selling by adding new protective or hedge positions.
  • Chris' two favorite hedge positions to put on now:
    • UltraPro Short Russell 2000 (SRTY) - this ETF returns (-3x) of the daily performance of the Russel 2000.
    • ProShares Decline of the Retail Store ETF (EMTY) - this fund provides daily short exposure (-1x) of the Solactive-ProShares Brick and Mortar Retail Store Index.

Tom Gentile on rules-based trading for long-term investing (11:30 a.m. ET)

  • Tom's long-term rules are NOT based on hope, intuition, or gut feelings.
  • Instead, you should research and back-test patterns, place high-probability trades, and plan accordingly.
  • And today, he uncovered exactly how to do those things with a handful of long-term options investments.

D.R. Barton, Jr., broke down the macro landscape today (1:30 p.m. ET)

  • R. reviewed the number of new coronavirus cases in major economies like the United States, Europe, India, etc. and how long it may take to flatten the curve in each.
  • R. said the unemployment numbers and the price of oil are the next most important things you should be watching today.
  • The big question is this: Will the Fed's stimulus measures be enough to soak up all the selling and reduce volatility and fear in the market if the virus continues its current trajectory?

Shah Gilani will reveal a list of his top stocks to short next week (3:45 p.m. ET)
