I do think Apple’s setting itself up to run in both the near-term as well as the longer-term, and as you guys know I see a $2k target on it in ten years anyway. I’d like to build up my Apple common position, so I’m adding to

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

A few months ago I wrote an article called “49 app stocks that should go up huge and one that won’t” and the whole article was about how I thought Research-in-Motion was doomed despite being so seemingly well-positioned to benefit from the fastest growing sector in the history of
