• Checking Out Apple and the Fate of Small Caps

  • The Breakdown Head Fake of Stock Trading

    I was burned on a trade today.  I hedged my long positions with a short position because the market started to break down. Within minutes of this happening, the market went on a ridiculous tear to the upside to finish the day in the green.  It didn't take long for me to get squeezed out

  • Warning: Stay Away From Housing Stocks

    I’d say short the blasted things, but they have earnings next week and a slew of housing numbers coming out, as well. And that is simply too risky to be taking a short position on.

  • Short Setups If There is a Short-Term Breakdown

    The market refuses to sell-off hard and avoid even a short-term breakdown. Even today, yes you have some downward pressures but all that it has really been good at doing is selling off the market’s afternoon gains of late.  SPX is down 3 out of the last 5 trading sessions.

  • Stocks to Watch: RRD, MAS, AJG

    Watch list stocks to trade The futures are rocking tonight.
