4 Earnings Season Option Strategies For Monday November 9

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:31:43 GMT

In my latest three blog posts, I listed some stocks which I would be willing to go long by selling the puts right before the stock reported earnings.

Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

Mercury News Interview: Kevin Johnson, CEO, Juniper Networks

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:50:00 GMT

Nov. 7--When Kevin Johnson was hired as CEO of Juniper Networks last year, analysts said the veteran Microsoft executive could help the Sunnyvale networking equipment company find new growth and ramp up competition with the much-larger market leader, Cisco Systems.
Last week, Johnson and other Juniper executives flew east for what the company billed as a major event, inaugurating their listing on the New York Stock Exchange and announcing new hardware and software for an audience of tech analysts and reporters.
Johnson, who ran sales and marketing at Microsoft before he was promoted to oversee Windows software and online services, described the Juniper announcements as a "stake in the ground for our vision for the next decade."
