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 […]

It’s a flattish to higher open, but we’ve got our two most volatile tech names of late, Cypress and Riverbed, both up more than 3%. Recall yesterday that I wrote the following about Riverbed: Long-time subscribers know that I have been pounding the table on this one since it was in the low teens, but […]

It’s a pretty bloody red open this morning, after Hewlett-Packard pulled a Cisco and guided lower for the second quarter in a row. HPQ’s getting killed and so is most of tech, but speaking of Cisco, it and a few other longs of ours are up today despite the ugly market. Google, instead of being […]

What one stock taketh away, another give…
What one stock taketh away, another giveth. (Flip it.) The hits we’re taking in Cisco and Celestica are being countered by the profits in Riverbed and Silver. Most of the rest of the portfolio is hardly budging and that means our portfolio is flat-to-slightly down on the day, much like the broader markets. I find […]

Cisco and silver are each down almost 5% in the early action. On the conference call cisco CEO guided slightly lower again for next quarter for the fourth time in a row. I am digging through their report and others but the upshot is that I plan to hold my cisco position steady. We were […]

Flattish day for the portfolio by the close. After the close though, our second largest position, Cisco, reported very strong earnings and the stock is up 3%. That said, we won’t know how the stock will trade tomorrow until we hear from Cisco CEO, John Chambers, on the upcoming conference call in which he’ll give […]

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 […]

Email from a subscriber: –First of all, CY, and now NUAN have many times over paid for my subscription, with every other trade above water, except RVBD.

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 […]

Another huge day for the portfolio, with lots of stocks up decently and our Corning and Cisco positions are adding some oomph to the P&L (profit and loss of the portfolio’s daily action) today. I’m looking to continue nibbling on a lot of the positions, using just common stock for now, trying to build them […]

In other words, folks, Qualcomm and Apple just gave us some very important affirmation of the ongoing app revolution that we’re positioning ourselves in front of…here’s a real-time discussion of Apple’s earnings and some tech investment analysis for you from a discussion between the Bob Dylan of Wall Street (James Altucher) and yours truly: James: […]

I’m going to run out to some meetings with some technology resellers (vendors of Cisco, Oracle, Riverbed, VMWare, etc). Salespeople are some of the best information resources for sales and technology trends as they play out over years. Executives are usually too focused on quarterly numbers, but sales folks at big tech vendors see […]

Here’s something I wrote about Cisco yesterday in my Revolution Investing Newsletter: This one looks like a screaming buy to me right here, right now below $17 a share. Let’s do the math: Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO +1.69% has got $6 plus per share in net cash on the balance sheet. The company will likely earn close […]

The gentle steady rally action continues its recent trend this morning. We’ve got a nice rally in Cisco again this morning. It was up 4% earlier. The question will be what happens the rest of the day – yesterday it faded and barely closed up on the day. Cisco’s CEO John Chambers sent a letter […]

Japan’s dumping thousands of tons of highly radioactive waste into our oceans, China raises rates and bank reserve requirements, our own Republican/Democrat Regime continues to find trillions in new forms of corporate and banker welfare as they cut trillions in social services for the elderly and poor, the banks in the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, […]

Foxconn is one of the biggest contract manufacturers in China and it’s running into some troubles finding profitability despite making gadgets for the Apples, Nokias and other big smartphone/tablet vendors of the world. But before you write off the app/tablet/smartphone revolution because of Foxconn’s bad news today, let’s drill down for some deeper analysis. Here’s […]
