Obama Day

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:51:00 GMT

Good morning. Premarket futures are indicating a lower open following weakness in overseas markets and more trouble in Europe's banking sector. The British government has announced a second bailout plan and the Royal Bank of Scotland warned that it may lose about $42 billion in 2008. This has put pressure on financials in the U.S. and around the world this[More...]

Stocks Put In Weak Gains On Even Weaker Volume

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:21:00 GMT

When it comes to making a living in the stock market I have had no problem doing that for the past thriteen years. But all of a sudden this year, this trendless market has made it near impossible to make a lot of money. There are a few mutual funds that are up for the year but the majority of the greatest funds and greatest traders are finding it very difficult to make money in a market that simply does not go anywhere.Now, while we have had some big winners like PDO, XCO, and DGLY, we have also had some disappointments like BRKR BKE and AEHR. If this would have been a start of a bull market, like 2003 was, after the 2000-2002 downtrend, I am sure they would have all worked but for right now things still rarely work. But it is obviously clear to me that this market is not moving up or down and that it is just going nowhere. Why then, in God’s name, why would you be wanting to be going long or short stocks. It is clear from where I sit[More...]

Ugly Open Reverses With A Strong And Choppy Intraday Session

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 17:22:00 GMT

Even though inedexes closed down .5%, they really did not go very far but they did do it in a very choppy motion. So unless you like turbo trading support and resistance for peanuts then there really is not a whole lot to do. I do understand that some people love daytrading and love to spend all day trading. Well if you enjoyed Friday then you are for sure a diehard market fan. It simply is not the way I want to spend my time. Now rewind back to 1999. I was making a TON of money HOLDING stocks. Not daytrading. But if I was bored had access cash and did not have perfect stocks to invest I could and would daytrade. I have to admit it was not as much fun as I did not get to see my pretty max green BOP charts and I did not like the feeling my heart had when I had multiple positions on. But if that is what you like doing then enjoy daytrading.Right now, I think trading to the downside is the right game but as it is clear the markets are trending below the 50[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...]

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:37:00 GMT

Apr. 7--Nine months remain in The Blade's year-long stock contest, but the initial leader still is solidly in first place and experts wonder whether an improbable stroke in the very first week may have sewn up the game for Aaron Howell of Tiffin.
On a blind search for a surgical laser manufacturer to include in his contest's imaginary portfolio, Mr. Howell, an insurance agent in Tiffin, chanced upon Advanced Medical Optics Inc., a $6-a-share stock.
His other three picks are Apple Inc., up 32 percent;
