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 […]

Using the weakness as an opportunity to scale into some longs as I’d noted I wanted to earlier. Google, Adtran and Nuance common are what I’m buying. Easy does it, I am getting closer to having these positions the relative sizes I want them to be here after 75 days of re-building this portfolio from […]

The markets are opening slightly lower this morning and there’s little in the way of catalysts in the news today. That said, we might not need a fundamental catalyst in addition to the strong earnings season we just made it through to pop this market. Take a look at a three month DJIA chart: You […]

So LinkedIn.com is coming public and holy cow is the mainstream media hyping the heck out of it. Every major news outlet is breathlessly explaining how the IPO was originally priced in the low $30s last week, then upped to the mid $40s earlier this week and how it priced at the highest end of […]

I first started flagging Adtran for subscribers back when it was almost exactly half of the price it is right now. The stock has come down from $47 a couple months ago and has been trading in the very high $30s to the low $40s since. The company is scrambling to meet demand from carriers […]

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 […]

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 […]
