Here’s a list of my positions, in approximate order from largest to smallest, though the variations between relative sizes are decreasing as time wears on and I get these longer positions built up. We’ll have some shorter-term and newer name trades in coming weeks to complement these longer-term positions. Longs – GLW Nuance Riverbed […]

A couple weeks ago on the day it came public, Stacey Delo asked me what I thought about buying RenRen. I told her, and I quote: “Run the other way from Renren.” I went further in my article on the matter too — “I wouldn’t touch the stock with a ten foot pole. I don’t […]

Nice up day for the markets and for our portfolio. Steady as she goes for now. Let’s hit today’s big movers and a note on each: Cypress — up 5% today. It’s been a steady climber for a long time now and has been in pause mode for a few weeks. Look at the chart […]

It’s a flattish to higher open, but we’ve got our two most volatile tech names of late, Cypress and Riverbed, both up more than 3%. Recall yesterday that I wrote the following about Riverbed: Long-time subscribers know that I have been pounding the table on this one since it was in the low teens, but […]

I just bought some more Visteon common. I thought the call options on this one, which has been trading in a $20 range between $60 and $75 for the last year, would be cheaper than they are right now. This stock’s kind of range performance for such a sustained period of time would normally translate […]

Let’s review what I’ve been doing to re-build my portfolio in broad terms. From a strategic standpoint, I’ve been buying the best companies I can find in the App Revolution and the Cloud Revolution which I think will explode into a new bubble in coming years and I’ve complimented those longs with long positions in […]

Silver has dislocated itself to the downside again today, losing almost 5% this morning and making our SLV puts pop. Gold down. It sure seems to me that silver and not gold is the driver of the direction of the precious metals everyday. Nice gains in the portfolio again this morning and I’ve not pulled […]

Email from a subscriber: –First of all, CY, and now NUAN have many times over paid for my subscription, with every other trade above water, except RVBD.

What a week! We had some losses to start the week off as our long streak of winning days ended, but our timely shorts in gold and silver along with some big moves in Cypress and some of our other longs bring us to the green for the week’s tally. Other than covering the […]

The markets have tried to squish higher today, but it’s been soggy underneath them. That said, we’ve had a pretty big intraday swing on our own sheet’s P&L, though we are also still in the red on the day. Here’s a few thoughts on the IPO Market and Chinese social networking stock, Renren, up 40% […]
Painful day for the portfolio and as we …
Painful day for the portfolio and as we head into the close, it’s safe to say “the streak is over”, as in, our portfolio is not up on the day. Indeed, with Cypress and Riverbed both down 3% on the day, there’s some red on the sheets today. A few thoughts to ponder tonight […]

We are probably now more than halfway through with the earnings season, though next week will bring another barrage and there are a few laggard reporting schedules after that too. Here’s the earnings dates for all our positions: aapl – Already Reported on Apr 20th adtn – Already Reported on Apr 13th cien – June […]

It’s a flattish open, but the story of the day is the 15% drop, the crushing of RIMM. I’ve kept us out of RIMM and even had it as a short position in the Revolution Investing model portfolio last year before I started trading again where we rode it down from over $100 to some […]

Did I mention earnings season? Did I mention I thought individual earnings reports would be the next catalyst for our stocks? Here are some earnings updates from our stocks from the last 16 hours: 1. Apple – blowout, huge, amazing quarter with typical Apple-esque conservative guidance. Earnings nearly doubled…and we were talking a huge multi-billion […]

We’re greeted with a rather listless open to start the trading week. We’ve had some wild up and down action in the four weeks since I started Trading With Cody. Just a couple days into the trading, Japan’s quake and resulting nuclear nightmare hit the markets hard, and I stepped up the buying into the […]

Ciena, Cypress and a few others are really putting on some nice moves this morning. The markets are drifting higher and I’m looking at adding a couple more short names today and tomorrow. Here’s my analysis on why I’m looking to start shorting Live Nation from my recent republished/updated report, 14 Stocks That Could Double […]

I’ve bought some common stock in Celestica, Cypress and Nokia, as planned. I’m as nervous as any other trader about the downside possibilities if this Japan nuclear crisis gets any more extreme than it already has — if you even believe that the governments aren’t downplaying the contamination and damage already done. But as an […]
