Traders Be Aware – The Tax Man Cometh

2009-11-20T13:04:37-05:00November 20, 2009|

Here is an article written by Andy Sullivan over at Reuters that once again has me fuming over this tax happy government, that for some wicked and corrupt reason, thinks that our money is their money. At what point do we rise up as a collective body and tell these [...]

Gotta Love Meredith Whitney

2009-10-14T13:35:13-04:00October 14, 2009|

Meredith Whitney has some guts let me tell you. On the day that JP Morgan (JPM) reports postive earnings, and on the eve Goldman Sachs (GS) reports their, she comes out and DOWNGRADES the stock from BUY to NEUTRAL. As you all have probalby learned by now, I despise GS [...]

Why Must They Tax EVERYTHING!?!

2009-10-12T13:49:49-04:00October 12, 2009|

I absolutely loathe the manner in which our government, including the House, Senate and Presidency continues to spend our money in such a frivolous and reckless manner and essentially compromising free markets and capitalism in the process. But this…This makes me more upset then I have ever been – this [...]

Bullish Mode Again????

2009-10-08T17:04:11-04:00October 8, 2009|

Unbelievable how this market continues to rebound from such dismal news. I’ll be posting some more charts on this tonight, outlining where the NASDAQ and S&P are at and what we might see going forward. […]

Look At The Week Ahead

2009-09-27T21:46:11-04:00September 27, 2009|

Just updated the Stock Screener – 3 updates in all. I also removed the “Fat Lady Sings” and the “Diamonds in the Rough” as they weren’t yielding me any descent results – so there is no use in continuing with those. The other eight screens remain in tact. Also updated [...]

Bear Trap – Or a Trend Killer?

2009-09-21T21:42:10-04:00September 21, 2009|

If recent history is any indication, it would seem logical that the bulls will buy the dip here and push the markets higher. On the other hand though, the market has yet to take breather in what is historically the worst month for stocks - You Make the Call!

It Is Best To Admit You Don’t Know

2009-09-15T17:07:56-04:00September 15, 2009|

Believe it or not, what you think you know is what usually gets you in trouble when you trade. There are plenty of people who think they “Know” and quite honestly they don’t know jack-squat. The one thing that we can be completely certain of in the stock market is [...]

TD Ameritrade Website Down

2009-09-14T10:04:15-04:00September 14, 2009|

Unbelievable – TD Ameritrade’s online website is down and no one can log on. I have a small account with them still in which I hold some long-term positions. Nonetheless, this makes me nervous about what might end up happening to ThinkorSwim down the road. This is why I left [...]

Trading In The Zone

2009-08-31T20:28:44-04:00August 31, 2009|

I recently ordered from Barnes and Noble, the Book entitled Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas. It is written with one objective in mind – to help you conquer the markets mentally. He doesn’t go into fundamental analysis or technical analysis, instead he tackles what he terms Mental Analysis [...]

2009-08-19T06:33:07-04:00August 19, 2009|

Here is a new feature that I am playing with, and if popular, I will try to do it every morning prior to the market opening. Based on the prior night’s chart reading, I will come up with a handful of charts that have potential Long or Short setups and [...]

New Updates and New Changes

2023-03-04T09:47:12-05:00August 17, 2009|

Just updated five of the ten stock screens (five are updated each week), and updated the market barometer. In regards to the market sentiment no major changes, but after today, if the selling pressure holds up, there will be changes across the board. We haven’t seen a sell-off like this in [...]

New Week, New Trades

2023-03-04T09:47:11-05:00August 3, 2009|

Just finished updating the Stock Screens (five of them updated in total), and updated the Market Barometer. Overall the market remains extremely bullish, almost too bullish if you ask me. This could be the point where euphoria starts to set in, and all the newbies (i.e. dumb money) who just [...]
