The markets are having a hard time holding their rally and the Nasdaq’s even turned red now. I did a small pre-earnings trade.  Ciena reports earnings tomorrow morning before the open and I’ve read nothing but explanations of why they are likely to really miss and guide lower and get crushed tomorrow.  And that might [...]

Greece!  Oh my goodness, did you hear about Greece?!  There’s a debt problem over there.  And it might lead to contagion.  You better sell your stocks right now because of this Greece contagion risk. Oh wait. My bad, I was watching a replay of CNBC from two weeks ago.  Or was it two months ago. [...]

Monty Roberts, the great horsewhisperer whose autobiography I am currently reading, talks about how horses are “lean into” animals.  That is, they lean into pressure.  You want a horse to turn left, you don’t get a team of wranglers to push him on his right side — you can simply, by yourself, usually get him [...]

I know it’s only been six days — four trading sessions since I first asked you guys to weigh in on the question: “Who’s more scared right now, the bulls or the bears?”.  At the time, last Tuesday, the DJIA was below 11,000 and I got about 100 replies from you guys — I can [...]

It’s a state of mind-you could call it character in action.” — Vince Lombardi Impressive rally so far today, but… But I think [...]
