Watch-Lists

Good Morning! We’re at the end of the trading week, with a 3-day weekend coming up as the markets will be closed for President’s day. Heading into the open however, things are looking quite bearish as the Chinese has taken action to tighten credit, which I have to say, is a smart idea on their

It’s Jobs-Day once again – and we got that all-important Jobless Claims report coming out at 8:30am ET so be ready.

For today though, you have ;the Jobless Claims coming out at 8:30am, which always plays a

Two days in a row now the market has moved upward but can it hold? To read more on that, check out the article I posted last night on my trading strategy going forward. Unless things drastically change, I am pretty confident about my approach. For today, it should be much more quiet than it has in

It looks like the markets are trying to extend yesterday’s rally, which would help out immensely, in moving me closer to finally getting some new positions on the table. I’ve been laying dormant over the past couple of weeks, waiting for the right conditions to present themselves, so that I can start shorting the living

As January goes, so goes the rest of the year – right? Well, for the bull’s sake, that better not be true, because January had one nasty month to start the year with. Once again, the market is trying to rebound, and, as has been the case of late, Monday’s have been one of the
