All’s quiet on the western front. But not on the eastern front. Cyprus is still the headline, but UK banks might be the Black Swan that actually hits the markets next. Lots of little headlines flowing out of the UK’s banking system and it’s as bad or worse than our own and the rest of […]

This ain’t Grandma Susie’s economy: The need for new money and retirement strategies
The chorus of cries of angst, agony and anger have crescendoed. Everybody I know, young and old, who has money saved, is in a panic about managing their assets in retirement and building those assets to get into retirement. When I was in high school, I used to sit around and play with compound interest […]
Short-term market tactics and predictions
I’ve grown quite cautious and even bearish about the near-term here for the last week or so and today, the markets are rallying in my face. Here’s what I expect for the near-term now that the Cyprus headlines have been digested. The bulls and bears are both locked and loaded and getting more aggressive as […]
What if Cyprus were Dallas?
Here’s some more perspective for you as to why I think this Cyprus wealth confiscation matters so much to investors and traders here. Cyprus is in big trouble but, as I’m sure you’ve heard, “it’s only a tiny fraction of the EU’s GDP, so who cares?” Pretend it’s not Cyprus but, say, Dallas, Texas. The […]
Sold news, spiked emotions and Deep Thought of the Day
Last week I wrote: “There’s a lot of pressure built up by both the bulls and bears regarding whatever outcome Cyprus’ government comes up with in the next five days. So thinking that scenario out trading-wise, I still come up rather bearish about the near-term. That is, I could see a sell-the-news reaction if […]

Trade Alert – Looking out into next week has me trimming and hedging further
The Cyprus Fireworks might be put off til next Tuesday, as the Eurocrats and US Treasury Dept give Cyprus’ government til then to come up with a new plan to steal from their citizenry in the name of “saving their economy”. The easiest plan for Cyprus is to follow the rule of law which calls […]

The Fog of War, Economic Version
It’s all Cyprus all the time now. Maybe we should call it Hype-prus at this point. I mean, I can almost hear Jan Brady whining “Cyprus, Cyprus, Cyprus.” Let’s do a link fest to get some global perspective on this whole Cyprus thing. Modern Money: A Study In Confidence and Crisis – “There is one lesson […]
In-Depth Analysis on Cyprus, Lehman, bubbles, theft, and the stock market
Since quitting my job as a TV anchor at Fox Business three years ago and launching TradingWithCody.com, I’ve been very bullish and looking for this stock market to really bubble. I was going through a bunch of charts this weekend when I happened to hit a simple five-year DJIA chart. This chart is a thing […]
Everything you need to know about banking, bailouts, Cyprus and confidence
Good morning and welcome back to the land of anarchy where contracts and guarantees don’t mean anything anymore. Over the weekend, as I’m sure you’ve already heard, Cyprus and the EU and the IMF (and the US Treasury which is part of the official decision-making body at the IMF) all decided that it was in […]

On banks and gold, confidence and crime
With all the coverage of the JPM London Whale hearings today, I’m actually smiling and somewhat hopeful about our country’s future. The most easily disabused lie from the Republican/Democrat Regime that refuses to enforce the law and put these executives and traders who have broken the law in jail is the whole “if we prosecute […]
Trade Alert – Getting ourselves positioned in what will likely be some of the highest flyers
I’m going to continue adding to my Juniper and Ciena here. Just adding some more common, and hoping that we do get a big pullback in the broader markets that would give me the opportunity to get outright aggressively long in these names. Two headlines are adding to my bullishness in the broadband infrastructure sector […]

Trade Alert and Must-Read Revolution Investing Headlines
Two quick profit-taking trades to report on this morning. I’m trimming a little bit of my MRVL and SNDK call options. I’ve got big gains in both and am only selling about 1/5 of each, but I am going to lock in some profits on these and free up more cash. It’s been a while […]
Trade Alert – Watching Dexter on your smartphone
Last week I wrote about how it was time to start rotating out of the handset suppliers and into the infrastructure suppliers of the App Revolution we’re all living through. Let’s walk through a rudimentary model of the Internet and you’ll see why I’m about to add another infrastructure equipment supplier. When you request the […]
