I’m buying back the PCLN puts I sold for quadruples earlier this week. Using December $950s. And that’s it for the trading for me today. Dollars, currency wars, volatility and gold. Lots to hit on here today and this will be one of the rare times you will see me sight the dollar action as […]
Trade Alert – Buying puts on Balloon Fiesta Weekend
Watch this video of “Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta 2012 | Time Lapse“. Remind you of anything? The balloons be stock prices all inflating and floating into the sky in the current stock market bubble. Tense week on the Street, glad it’s almost over. But still 15% of the trading week to go. I am going to […]
Trade Alert – Lights, printing, and puts
Morning trading notes – I’m adding another tranche to the CREE common stock long that we started building a few weeks ago. Just a steady-as-she-goes kind of tranche building up of the position here.

Trade Alert – Buying puts in a Red Box
“You wanted the best and you got the best! The hottest market in the world, S&P 500!” – Kiss Alive II Markets are down a bit this morning, but obviously still near their newest, latest and greatest all-time highs. There’s a lot of greed out there amongst the retail crowd right now, and a lot […]
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 […]
Trade Alert – Tiny fruit and more RIMM puts trim
It’s the first new week in the new year and it’s already feeling awfully volatile out there. Speaking of volatile, how annoying is it when people confuse “volatile” with “down”. We can have a wildly volatile bull market just as easily as we can a wildly volatile bear market. The wild blow-off top tech bubble […]
The economic, trading and investing impact of Hurricane Sandy (And Trade Alert – Trimming some LPS puts)
First things first. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by Hurricane Sandy. As human beings, that is the first thing on all our minds and hearts. As professionals, we have to analyze what it means to our portfolios, if anything. There’s an old economic theorem about the “Broken Window” and it […]
Trade Alert: Buying puts to hedge the portfolio
A couple other trades I’m putting on today. I’m adding to my LPS and Morgan Stanley short positions via puts. Been a long time since I felt the need to be get more aggressive on my short hedging. I still think the path of least resistance for the overall markets and for tech in particular […]
Trade Alert: Nasdaq 3K Magnet and Buying some APOL puts
Boy that Nasdaq wants to get to 3k, doesn’t it? It’s just 1% away, and it’s just an arbitrary number, but it sure seems like a magnet for now. Trying to game the next 1% move in an index full of thousands of stocks isn’t a good idea though, so let’s not try. This morning, […]

Trade Alert: Taking A Little Off The Table
We are doing some trimming and hedging today as this market feels pretty frothy and this might even be a blow-off top right here (although that is very hard to predict) with so many major moves in stocks this week. As we said in this week’s Live Q&A Chat, we are not bearish, but we […]
Recession Prediction, China Pop, And A Few Trade Alerts

On the other hand, I’m not impressed with Texas Instruments’s (TXN) quarter or guidance and thus we decided to sell it today. Here is the transcript from this week’s Live Q&A […]

Trade Alert: Market Rocking. Here’s What We Are Doing
Markets are rocking today including many small- and mid-cap companies that have been absolutely punished lately.
