Stocks Put In A Very Bullish Session Across The Board With One Big Problem: No Volume

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 04:54:00 GMT

Stocks put in a very impressive drive higher as another round of short-squeezing hit investors who were a little too heavily short coming into today. The reason why I would call this another short-squeeze rally is that, once again, volume has fallen on a day where the market rallies an extreme amount. If you are playing the indexes on an intraday or very short term basis, the volume is not important and all you will need to focus on is the price action. Then you either move with the trend and/or use support and resistance on price charts to implement your methodology. However, when it comes to wanting to build stock/option positions over a period of time and reap the huge rewards that come to those who invest with those, you need to see volume expand on the rallies and retreat on the pullbacks before you can feel confident to go all-in long with full margin. Until we find volume showing up on the rallies on the indexes, with pullbacks[More...]

Another Day, Another Selloff; Higher Volume On The Selloff Indicates Fear Is Rising

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:25:00 GMT

It was yet another day of huge losses for the stock market as most indexes are now down over 45% for the year. This kind of market action is enough to make a lot of people sick. But that is the last thing you want to do here, especially with the selloff starting to slightly hit panic levels. Now, I am not saying that we are near a bottom what-so-ever. But what I am saying is that we are getting a little crazy with the selling and that should lead to a rally in the near term. However, before that rally occurs, I expect that we will more than likely set new lows on all the indexes. One of the reasons I believe that is possible is because after today’s session I saw that ZERO stocks on the NYSE or Nasdaq hit new 52-week highs, while over 415 stocks on each index hit new 52-week lows. This number of new lows expanding along with the non-numbers in the new highs is my warning that the market is not done with the selloff, even though it has[More...]

How I Deal With A Market That Does Not Reward Trend Following

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:34:00 GMT

I definitely, first off, do NOT watch CNBC. This should be the last thing all of you newer investors should do. A lot of people that watch CNBC tell me that they do not have enough time to read Investors Business Daily and instead find it easier to listen to the raving madness of Cramer. This is baloney. All you need is 20 minutes a day to read ‘the big picture,’ ‘the investors corners,’ and any of the other investors education articles. If you do this every day, I realize that it will not be fast, but eventually you will learn the right way to make money in the market. The same way the greatest traders ever, which were detailed year by year by John Boik in his fabulous books, traded is the same way you should invest. If the greatest all invested a certain way, shouldn’t you to? Some of you believe that you can outsmart the market or you are lazy and believe that a method that has been PROVEN not to work (using P/E ratios to buy and[More...]

GMAC Sold: AmTrust Says It Intends to Keep Majority of Jobs in Winston-Salem

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 11:48:00 GMT

Oct. 20--The Winston-Salem community felt yet another economic tremor yesterday with the news that GMAC Inc.'s local operations are being sold to an investment group.
However, unlike the pending closing of Dell Inc., with a loss of more than 900 jobs, and the shutdown last month of Pace Airlines, 300 jobs, it appears that the effect on GMAC's work force of 905 will be minimal.
The principal buyer of GMAC's U.S. consumer property-casualty insurance business is American Capital Acquisition Corp., a unit of American Capital Partners LLC of Hauppauge, N.Y.
