Cody Kiss & Tell: ZU, AAPL, GOOG, TWTR, FSLR, TSLA and more
Hi guys, let’s rock n roll. Ask me anything. Q. Do you still think $AAPL hits 100? And $GOOG 600? A. I don’t try to game 3-5% short-term moves in giant market cap companies which trade in the millions of shares a day. I do think $AAPL and $GOOG are still very good long-term investments […]

Fog of War and tech earnings previews
From the markets reaction to the Ukraine/Malaysia/Gaza wars and escalating currency and economic wars between Putin’s Russia and the Republican/Democrat Regime’s US, you’d think they’re meaningless. Fog of war makes them important potential Black Swan events. The fog of war (German: Nebel des Krieges) is the uncertainty in situational awareness experienced by participants in military operations. The […]
Yandex, FB, Wars, and the best pot penny stocks to buy now
A couple trading and market notes first. Prayers for all hurt by these conflicts. Traders seem to want to look past the impact of wars, which is unfortunately much more serious and risky to US investors than things like Greek Debt Crises. “U.S. stock futures fell Monday, as investors took in news of a deadly […]

Our $AAPL calls are almost […]
Yellen, Greenspan and other high priests of economics (and how to deal with them)
The world is aflutter with the latest and greatest from our US Federal Reserve, a privately-owned bank that pretends to regulate itself somehow. When I worked with the editors at Marketwatch to create Revolution Investing, part of the idea was to help people navigate what I called the Brave New Economy we live in. We’ve […]
Why we’re getting in front of the Wearables, Drones and Robotics Revolutions
Does anyone out there actually doubt that wearables are going to create whole new billion dollar markets for chip vendors, software and application companies, gadget makers, and so on? I received hundreds of skeptical and often ad hominem emails and thousands of comments from readers and viewers when I used to tout the coming App […]

Market notes, must-reads, trading ideas and deep thought of the day.
Somber mood out there this morning as the markets open down big. Portugal bank Espirito Santo gets suspended and freaking out the world.

Trade Alert – Selling two stocks and noting the markets new path of least resistance
It’s starting to feel sloppy out there, especially amongst the momentum highflying stocks, including some of our own. For the last couple weeks, I’ve been saying that I wouldn’t want to chase these stocks up here, and I still wouldn’t. We entered most of these positions at much lower levels than they are currently trading […]
Everything you need to know about GDX vs GDXJ
If you want to invest in gold miner stocks, I suggest sticking with the GDX vs.GDXJ. There are more differences than just smaller cap and more volatility when it comes to comparing GDX with GDXJ. For example, the GDX describes itself as a “modified market-capitalization weighted index primarily comprised of publicly traded companies involved in the mining for […]
