Microsoft was downgraded today at two firms as PC shipments fell nearly 14%. The stock is down nearly 5% this morning. Is it a surprise? My kids almost exclusively use iPads and iPhones for video, chat, text, FB, instagram, homework research etc. So this past weekend I was at a mall to visit an apple […]
Elad Ryba joins TradingWithCody – Proud to announce our new Chief Moderator & Guide
Good morning and welcome back to the gyroscope, where they spin you like a top til the momentum stops. The markets are mixed this morning as the last three days’ big gains are digested. I’m probably not going to do much more trimming or hedging just yet, as I patiently let this greed phase in […]

Everything you need to know about investing in gold and silver
Last week I talked about how the Republican/Democrat Regime and the Federal Reserve have made it extraordinarily difficult for investors to find any kind of reasonable yield without taking on very high risk. You’ve heard it called “The Risk Trade” and it simply means that anybody who has any savings at all is being forced […]

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.

Modern Money: A Study In Confidence and Crisis – “There is one lesson […]
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 […]
Trade Alert – Adding some broker puts as tension builds
Tension is building out there in the markets. The bears can’t believe that the markets are at all time highs even with Apple acting like it is. The Google gets a couple analysts putting $1000 price targets on it, and you have to wonder if we’re in for a replay of what happened to Apple […]
