Trade Alert – First Solar gets too bright as inflation burns
First solar is up big again today, hitting new recent highs and I am going to go ahead and trim a little bit here, about 1/5 of my overall position (see: First Solar is back and tradable). Juniper’s up big today and is now up nearly 10% from our recent big tranche buy level. I am […]
TradingwithCody Chief Guide Elad Ryba on Amazon, King of the Jungle
In the end there will only be one. Well maybe that’s a bit dramatic. Let’s just say a rare few. A warning before I start this article: let me remind every iPhone owner to call Apple and purchase iPhone Care Plus for $99. This service gives you 2 years worth of tech support and hardware […]
Trade Alert – Playbook on Facebook and Latest Positions
I think FB is ready to run to $40. I bought a little more common stock today before they report earnings and unless the report is a total disaster, I’ll buy more on any weakness after the report. Here’s a list of my latest positions in approximate order from largest to smallest. I give each […]

Your place in the the Gold Rush (and a few stock updates)
Good morning and welcome back to the gold mine where all you have to do to make big money is find some heavy metal in every few tons of dirt you move. Ever watch that Gold Rush show on the History Channel? It’s crazy how much earth they move to find such little gold. We […]
In Albuquerque today as the bubble gets bigger
I’m in Albuquerque today as Gold continues its return from the crash, cracking the 1,400 level. I’m sticking with the GLD still since I’m not worried about the next two weeks of paper gold assets. Longer term, I still caution, and always will caution, against holding any commodity through an ETF or any other wall […]

Trade Alert – Buying a full-size tree tranche
Lots of action today, so let’s jump right in and hit the names. Juniper – The company’s report was all about how strong carrier demand is and how weak enterprise/government spending is. Which is just exactly our thesis. The stock is getting hurt because guidance was a bit soft, but I’m a buyer at these […]
Must-reads: Twitter-flash crash, FDR and gold, and more
Wild action today, with a Twitter account, of all things, driving billions of dollars of intraday gains and losses. I’m not in a rush to trade earnings reports tonight, but feet to fire, I’d rather be long Juniper and Apple than short into the call. Indeed, I think Juniper might even be able to bounce […]
A time and place for everything. And where are we now?
There’s a time and place to be aggressively long. And there’s a time and place to let the markets play themselves out after a huge run. Over the last few years, the markets have, despite most professional money managers fighting it every step of the way, been on fire. Do you recall back in 2009 […]

How Twitter is becoming your first source of investment news – My old […]
Golden experience
Gold is up again, now up 8% from the lows where we were buying GLD last week. I also went with my parents to local coin dealer here in Ruidoso, NM, and we bought some gold and silver coins, just as I’d told you I would. Interestingly, we had to pay 20% over the newspaper’s […]

Trade Alert – Lots of Apple analysis and locking in some profits on the bankster shorts
Do you see the lines out the door for the newest, coolest, and most unbelievably Revolutionary Apple product ever? The iP… Oh, wait, there’s NOT any cool new Apple product out there, much less “Revolutionary” in the way the iPod which begat the iPhone which begat the iPad were. Those products created entirely new markets, […]
TradingWithCody Chief Counselor, Elad Ryba: Apple, downtrends and valuations
Apple has, as we all know, been a painful stock to own, look at and discuss. Seven short (or rather seven long) months ago it was the toast of the town, best performer in our portfolio and something to be cherished. Yet taking a look back you can see that something happened on Oct 5th 2012. […]

Making the hardest trade and remembering some Apple history
Tense morning on Wall Street. And as usual, tense morning on Main Street. Here’s a note from this morning from one of the best, most-seasoned, and steady-as-she-goes money managers I know – “Very strange markets for me. My Restaurant Strategies portfolios are outperforming. My Low Volatility/High Dividend Strategies outperforming. My Equity Growth Strategies are underperforming […]
