  Episode 20: The VIX Is Spiking. Here's How We're Positioning Our Portfolio

  Aug 5, 202625 minS1

  When fear peaks, smart money doesn't freeze. It moves. The VIX nearly doubled in March when the US bombed Iran. The market crashed, then recovered almost immediately when peace talks began. That same pattern is showing up again right now: Yemen is blocking 10% of global oil in the Red Sea, oil is spiking, and the S&P 500 is dropping. Alejandro and Serhii walk through exactly how to use the VIX as a buy signal, how the algorithm picks the strongest stock in each sector during a bear market, and how selling puts instead of buying at market price lets you get paid while you wait for the right entry. Amazon, Micron, Eli Lilly: 11 positions, all entered below market price. ⚠️ Past performance does not guarantee future results. Options carry significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 1:10 – What the VIX is and why it matters 2:04 – How VIX and S&P 500 anti-correlate: the pattern explained 4:55 – March: VIX doubles, S&P crashes, then reverses 5:47 – Now: Yemen blocks Red Sea, same signal appears again 8:56 – How the algorithm ranks stocks by sector in a bear market 12:04 – Amazon vs Booking: who holds value better and why 13:28 – Selling a put at $205 support, collecting $150 upfront 14:14 – VIX peak = entry signal. Are we there right now? 16:06 – The full 11-stock portfolio with support prices and premiums 21:27 – Two rules for investing in a bear market 23:15 – Why Foresee Markets shares their full portfolio transparently ―――――――――――――――――――― Foresee Markets — AI, quantitative research, and structured thinking applied to real market conditions. ️ Hosted by Alejandro Ramirez Lemus and Serhii Nikolaiev.

  Episode 19: How to Profit in a Bear Market Using Options. A Real Example With Google

  Jul 29, 202622 minS1

  Markets are volatile. Here's how to protect your portfolio and still make money. In this episode, Alejandro and Serhii break down the collar option strategy using Google as a live example: selling a call at $330 to capture a $21.52 premium, buying a put at $317 to limit downside, and walking through exactly how the two positions interact as the price moves. Done weekly, this approach can generate up to 1.5% per week with the put acting as a hedge that limits real risk to roughly 0.5%. They also cover how to read delta, why the "danger zone" between put and call is smaller than it looks, and how to use the same strategy to lower the cost of holding a volatile position like SpaceX, which dropped 40% to $120 after a postponed rocket launch. ⚠️ Past performance of any stock or strategy does not guarantee future results. Options carry significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 0:44 – Bear markets and options — what we're covering today 1:28 – What options are: calls, puts, and how payoff works 3:18 – Real example: Google at $346, selling a call at $330 for $21.52 4:05 – Building a collar: sell a call, buy a put 5:31 – The danger zone between put and call explained 6:15 – Serhii breaks down the math: stock, short call, long put on one chart 8:19 – How the algorithm ranked Google #1 in communication services 8:54 – Support at $330, resistance at $362 — how to set your strikes 9:27 – Calculating weekly return: 1.5% per week = 81% annualized 10:45 – Why 40% is the realistic scenario after hedging costs 11:05 – Buying the put at $317: what you're actually risking 13:06 – Delta explained: why your put gains value as price drops 14:34 – Real numbers: Google collar from $317 to $330, live walkthrough 15:18 – The green zone, the red zone, and how to hedge the danger area 17:09 – How to repeat the strategy every week as long as you hold the stock 19:33 – SpaceX dropped 40% to $120 — how options can lower your holding cost ―――――――――――――――――――― Foresee Markets — AI, quantitative research, and structured thinking applied to real market conditions. ️ Hosted by Alejandro Ramirez Lemus and Serhii Nikolaiev.

  Episode 18: 4 Stocks the Algorithm Selected. Here's How We're Trading Each One

  Jul 22, 202630 minS1

  Fundamentals first. The algorithm reviewed the market — here's what it found. In this episode, Alejandro and Serhii walk through four stocks selected by the algorithm based on fundamental strength: healthy cash flow, strong earnings reports, and solid sector performance. Amazon surprised the market by $4B last quarter and is now trading near resistance — Alejandro is watching for a pullback to support before entering. Eli Lilly is at its 52-week high after a 22% earnings surprise, but with August earnings approaching, the better entry comes after the dust settles. GE Aerospace shows a clear pattern — earnings drop, dip, then climb — and that's exactly the setup Alejandro is waiting to repeat. Micron is driven by AI hardware demand, with massive daily volume and a history of sharp spikes followed by sharp drops — patience here is the strategy. ⚠️ Past performance of any stock does not guarantee future results. Position sizing and risk management matter as much as the strategy itself. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 0:42 – How the algorithm selects stocks: fundamentals explained 2:11 – Amazon: five business segments and why it was selected 3:52 – Amazon support and resistance — when Alejandro plans to enter 6:38 – Amazon vs. Booking.com : comparing within the same sector 9:29 – Eli Lilly: diabetes, obesity drugs and the 80-20 rule 10:05 – Serhii: top five drugs drive 30% of Eli Lilly revenue 11:17 – Eli Lilly: 22% earnings surprise and what comes next 13:06 – Why you don't buy at the 52-week high 15:16 – GE Aerospace: commercial aircraft, engines, defense 16:50 – GE pattern: earnings drop every time — here's how to use it 18:46 – Micron Technology: AI hardware demand and extreme volatility 19:53 – Micron hits $1 trillion market cap — and the hype behind it 21:03 – How to read volume spikes as entry signals 26:24 – Goldman Sachs: Micron expected to drive 40% of S&P 500 earnings growth 27:27 – Stocks as inflation hedge — buy low in the earning cycle, sell at resistance ―――――――――――――――――――― Foresee Markets — AI, quantitative research, and structured thinking applied to real market conditions. ️ Hosted by Alejandro Ramirez Lemus and Serhii Nikolaiev.

  Episode 17: We Built a Platform for This. Here's How It Works

  Jul 15, 20269 minS1

  You don't need to be a computer scientist to invest like one. In this episode, Alejandro and Serhii walk through the Foresee Markets platform they've been building a portfolio tool that lets you pick a strategy, set your allocation, and execute with one move. Alejandro shows how the system selects entry prices based on support and resistance levels across two earning cycles, why entering near support reduces risk without waiting for a 52-week low, and how themed portfolios semiconductors, low risk, high risk let you go long or short with a drag-and-drop. The goal: remove the complexity so you can focus on the strategy, not the mechanics. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 0:34 – Why diversification matters and how much is enough 1:26 – First look at the Foresee Markets platform 1:53 – How the invest tab works: low-risk vs. high-risk themes 2:25 – Themed portfolios: semiconductors, crypto, individual stocks 2:46 – How allocation percentages work in the platform 3:12 – Nvidia example: how the platform calculates entry price 3:34 – TradingView: how support and resistance are identified 4:16 – Why we enter near support and exit near resistance 5:26 – How to short high-risk assets directly from the platform 6:24 – One move executes the whole strategy 7:06 – Apple example: long position with drag and drop 7:48 – What's coming next: connecting to liquidity providers ―――――――――――――――――――― Foresee Markets — AI, quantitative research, and structured thinking applied to real market conditions. 🎙️ Hosted by Alejandro Ramirez Lemus and Serhii Nikolaiev. 💬 Tell us in the comments: What feature would you want to see on the platform? 👍 Like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you never miss an episode of Foresee Markets. ―――――――――――――――――――― 📹 During the podcast, important visual information is sometimes presented alongside the discussion.

  Episode 16: The Market Is Resetting. Here's What That Actually Means

  Jul 8, 202631 minS1

  <p>The S&P 500 dropped from $7,530 to $7,373 this month. Is this a crash or just a reset?<br /><br />In this episode, Alejandro and Serhii break down why the market is selling off: new Fed chair Kevin Walsh didn't cut rates as expected, borrowing got more expensive, and people who bet on lower rates are now forced to sell. They walk through the rotation happening right now: money flowing out of tech and semiconductors into utilities, what the VIX spike tells you about timing, and why the USO-to-S&P correlation from a few months ago has completely disappeared. Plus: how...
