Microsoft (MSFT)

It has taken me a couple of days to getting around to writing about the LinkedIn (LNKD) buyout by Microsoft (MSFT) mainly because this whole deal was a grave irritation to me.  Let me start off first by saying that I was long LNKD on Friday - Yes, Friday. I had a stop-loss that was

Technical Outlook: A horrible jobs report, the worst since September 2010, led to a hard sell-off initially for stocks, but keeping with tradition, saw about 70% of the day’s losses recovered by the close.  Despite news that would suggest an economic slowdown is underway, stocks simply cannot pullback and hold those losses into the close.

Technical Outlook: Over the course of the last three days the S&P 500 has sold off early on, only to recover all or most of its losses before the end of the day.  The “buy the dip” mentality is alive and well for the stock market right now.  Essentially, the bears have shown no willingness

Microsoft (MSFT) has one of the more intriguing charts that you will find out there today. In fact it may be one that I end up buying before day’s end.  You have a nice double bottom play, over the course of the past month, and followed by a breakout of the double bottom base

Technical Outlook: First legitimate sell-off on SPX yesterday since April 7th.  SPX finished the day trading below the 5-day moving average.  Watch the rising trend-line off of the February 11th lows. Currently the trend-line sits at 2087.  A slew of earnings came out last night and this morning resulting in hard sell-offs in

Futures are looking ‘okay’ right now, but there is some fair value cooked into them. For instance, the Nasdaq isn’t down only a few points, instead, it is down about 1% from where it closed the day at 4pm eastern.  From the looks of things with Google (GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) putting
