Painful day for the portfolio and as we head into the close, it’s safe to say “the streak is over”, as in, our portfolio is not up on the day. Indeed, with Cypress and Riverbed both down 3% on the day, there’s some red on the sheets today.

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

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

Did I mention earnings season? Did I mention I thought individual earnings reports would be the next catalyst for our stocks? Here are some earnings updates from our stocks from the last 16 hours: 1. Apple – blowout, huge, amazing quarter with typical Apple-esque conservative guidance. Earnings nearly doubled…and we

We’re greeted with a rather listless open to start the trading week. We’ve had some wild up and down action in the four weeks since I started Trading With Cody. Just a couple days into the trading, Japan’s quake and resulting nuclear nightmare hit the markets hard,

It’s a flattish open as we remain catalyst-less until we fully enter earnings season in the next couple weeks. Here’s a list of my longs and shorts so far: Longs- 1. Apple 2. Ciena 3. Celestica 4. Cisco 5. Cypress 6. DBA 7. Corning 8. Google 9. Microsoft

Ciena, Cypress and a few others are really putting on some nice moves this morning. The markets are drifting higher and I’m looking at adding a couple more short names today and tomorrow. Here’s my analysis on why I’m looking to start shorting Live Nation from my

I’ve bought some common stock in Celestica, Cypress and Nokia, as planned. I’m as nervous as any other trader about the downside possibilities if this Japan nuclear crisis gets any more extreme than it already has — if you even believe that the governments aren’t downplaying the contamination

Yesterday after the market close I said that if we had had a down 2% day I probably would have bought more stocks yesterday. Well we have that 2% close down day this morning as the world wakes up two more nuclear headlines out of Japan. I am indeed looking

Nice intraday rally continues as the emotions and worries over Japan’s disaster today start to fade and traders look to position themselves into the weekend. The shorts have had a huge week, and are feeling great about double digit gains in many of their most-hated positions. And that propels

I expect to get up to about 15-20 total positions in this portfolio with about 2/3 of the picks longs and 1/3 shorts by the time I’m done building in this set up. That 2/3 longs vs 1/3 short set up is in large part

Whoa nellie, it’s ugly out there this morning, eh? I’ve been being very patient and steady and while I will continue to steady-pace, I am likely to double how much capital today than I have most of the other days this week. That is, I’m likely to
