The markets are trading down today as the day wears on, and it’s S’s over Ns, meaning in this case that the tech-heavy Nasdaq is down more than the broader S&P sampling. Regardless, we’ve got Riverbed up more than 10% today after its shiny, happy report. As I’d noted the last few weeks, anything other […]

Today’s must-see: Rebecca Diamond returns to interview Gerald Celente
My dear ex-co-anchor from my Fox days, Rebecca “Gogo” Diamond, sent me the link to her return to the news industry last night — a sit-down 15 minute one-on-one interview with the one and only Gerald Celente of the Trends Journal and one of the greatest futurists in the world. I remember vividly when I […]
How I’m trading Apple now that it’s reported
Guys I might have guessed right about how both Apple and Intel were going to trade after reporting tonight, along with a few other calls like that lately, but let’s just all remember here that trying to game overnight reactions to individual reports like this can be treacherous. Tread lightly on these types of trades. […]
Invest and trade knowing it’s about the next 5000 days, not the next fifty days
With stocks recently selling off even on “good” earnings reports, I’m less than extremely bullish about the near-term as we get through the earnings season. More to the point though, now that Wall Street and the mainstream media have decided once again that somehow a bunch of corrupt officials and plutocrats in power have figured […]
How I’m trading Apple into tonight’s earnings report and other quick shots
Here’s what I was reading and thinking about this morning when I wasn’t working on my upcoming series of articles called “Get GE and JP Morgan off welfare and we’ll talk about ending the Occupy Wall Street protests”. The people at Occupy Wall Street are the capitalists, despite the panicky propaganda from both the right […]

Q: After a huge run from the last few days, do you think we are heading to another correction after a few earning calls? A: Let’s talk near-term market outlook here. Feet to fire, I’d look for the markets to continue to mostly head higher, sometimes with a 2% up day and then a 1-2% […]

A few little tweaks to the portfolio (and don’t forget to meet me for today’s chat)
A few little tweaks to the portfolio this morning. (And don’t forget to meet me at https://tradingwithcody.com/chat at 2pm EST today for our weekly anything-goes Q&A). I’m doing mostly some trimming here, cutting back a little bit of our increasingly outsized long exposure, which continues to kick in as the calls we bought at lower […]
Occupy Wall Street is extremely bullish long-term (not so much, near-term)
You raise up your head, And you ask, “Is this where it is ?” And somebody points to you and says “It’s his” And you says, “What’s mine ?” And somebody else says, “Where what is ?” And you say, “Oh my God Am I here all alone ?” But something is happening here But you don’t know what […]
Some incredibly important Revolution Investing trends we should pay attention to
How many Greece crisis/EU crisis/Euro crisis/Next-Lehman-Moments can we possibly have before it’s all priced in and then some? More to the point, how many times can the media and the markets possibly freak themselves out over the same slow-motion crisis? And most importantly to us investors, is all this worry about crisis any different than […]

Remember how scared you were last week when the markets were crashing and Europe was supposed to be hit by an asteroid or something?
Do you remember how scared you were back last Monday or Tuesday when the markets were crashing and Europe was supposed to be hit by an asteroid or something? What was it again? Rome was raising taxes on Egyptian coffee? A butterfly in Botswana flew the wrong direction? Anyway, if you were scared then, I’ll […]
Links for Columbus Day
Earlier this morning, I asked if you guys remember what I was writing back when the markets were panicking and we were buying and preaching to look past whatever they wanted you to panic over at the time? Things like this: Traders on TV are idiots – “I’d be a buyer of Apple, Google, Microsoft, F5, Intel, […]
Read this headline
Good morning and welcome back to the pancake factory, where it’s a very thin pancake that doesn’t have two sides and more to the point this morning, flip flopping seems to be a way of life. Read this headline: European stocks fall on Greece deficits, euro slumps Oh, wait, that was from ten days ago when the Nasdaq was more […]
Here’s what I was thinking about and reading about today
Here’s what I was thinking about and reading about today when I wasn’t getting ready for the Lincoln County Cowboy Symposium.
