The sell-off in oil is no doubt one of epic proportions.  Take a look at the United States Oil Fund (USO) weekly chart. We are now going on 10 straight weeks now without the least amount of a bounce coming through on it. Even during the Great Recession of 2008, [...]

Since February there has been nothing really good to say about this market.  Traders are losing interest.  Traders are losing hope.  Traders are simply becoming exasperated.  I get it…I feel it too. But I have also felt it before. It isn’t unusual for the market to try to bring out [...]

The market stinks...absolutely stinks. The bulls lack and edge and so do the bears.  But in the SharePlanner Splash Zone, the profits keep coming in.  Check out my most recent trades: * = Open trade Yes, that is a 16% gain in Netflix (NFLX) after buying it at $107.63 last [...]

My Gosh, July was a wild ride in the market! We had, count them, FOUR reversals that took place during the month, and by no means did it render itself to easy trading. The market entered the month trending to the downside, followed by a hard bounce that took price [...]

Apple (AAPL) longs hate it when I say something negative about their stock.  I don’t have anything against the company, I don’t have a position in the stock either. I’m simply observing a key support level that the bulls will need to hold onto in the coming days or the [...]

Despite the fact that the S&P 500 finished more than 43 points lower and equaling a -2.1% decline, members of the SharePlanner Splash Zone had a phenomenal day registering a 1% increase to the value of their portfolios.  And it just isn’t today. In fact the entire month of June [...]
