I’m taking some profits on about half of my call options across the board and reducing my long exposure a little bit here as the big rally in the markets has been everything I’d expected it to be and more. Not sure the move is over, but it’s never good to be greedy. Here’s part […]

Trade Alert: Avoiding The Frauds, Finding The Opportunities
It’s sad to think about all the hundreds of billions of dollars that have been torched as Wall Street met what seemed like endless demand for new issues with a bunch of not-so-good companies.

Market/Economic Analysis: The Good News And The Bad News After Today’s Market Melt-Down
First off, I’ll mention that in the hedge fund, I did nibble some more Intel INTC yet again. I nibbled some call options on GOOG and META, dated out to next week and/or into late October, mostly with strike prices about 10-20% out of the money (10-20% higher than today’s closing price). I opened up […]
