The stock is down 7% today after brushing its all-time […]
Trade Alert – More scaling, but don’t be a daredevil
Skill is successfully walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls. Intelligence is not trying. – Anonymous Bulls got no mojo. The selling pressure continues to swamp the bids and the markets just keep fading lower. Apple’s down after trying to open higher, and I think we’ve got to let it sit for now before doing another set of tranche buying. And […]

Markets thoughts and illusions
The panic out there continues to escalate and the markets have sold off again today. Do I need to do the “Who’s more scared, the bulls or the bears?” poll right now? Are there any scared bears out there at all any more? Are there any confident bulls out there at all any more? The […]
Trade Alert – Monsters and fruit
You’ve probably heard the old saying from Keynes that “The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.” Here’s a snapshot of how irrational things probably are right now and why we need to continue scaling into our highest-rated stocks like Apple.

Election election election. Every headline, every markets analysis, every supposed economic analysis, every segment on CNBC are all about the election and how its might or might not affect all of the above.
