Trade Alert – A basket buy plus a bunch of must-reads and commentary

Okay, I’ve caught my breath a bit after my earlier rant about 3-D System’s management, but the fact remains that I have pretty much lost all faith in that particular companies competence once again. I’m likely to remove DDD from the 3-D printing basket and to replace

Trade Alert – Small tranche buy of $XONE

The DJIA is down another 200 points and down over 300 points on the day since I penned that opening piece. This 100 point down day in the $NASDAQ is how fear starts to build into panic. Wouldn’t bet on a bottom here, but I’m going to look

Trade Alert – Herbalife close (and a personal note)

Don’t go posting it all over the Internet, but my wife is 39 weeks pregnant and we’re about to welcome Ms. Lyncoln Lee Willard to this world! I get why people call a new baby a miracle. Amazing times. I’ll probably be a little bit light on

Trade Alert – Buying some shiny (and some must-read links)

Every man is equally entitled to protection by law; but when the laws undertake to add… artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society — the farmers, mechanics, and laborers — who have neither the time

Trade Alert – Partial tranches (and what happened during the Live Q&A yesterday)

In the middle of my TradingWithCody Weekly Live Q&A Chat yesterday, I heard a crashing sound downstairs and found my father in law who had fallen off a ladder and among other injuries had badly broken his arm. I felt a sickening feeling and sensed my own self

Trade Alert – Gold coins, Softee calling and “This won’t end well”

Two trades to mention for you here first. I’m going to trim about 1/10th of my MSFT call options, as they’ve now become nicely profitable. I also bought a few more gold coins this weekend, paying just over $1300/ounce. We were set up for this now

Trade Alert + Dividend stocks deep dive

I’m going to buy another tranche of Intel common stock to the sheets this morning. It’s still a tiny position for us and I want to build it up a bit, for reasons laid out below. You can buy Treasuries right now and get less than 1% interest

Trade Alert – Proven wrong

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. – Thomas Jefferson No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong. – Albert Einstein Here are some of

Trade Alert – Here comes the next tech bubble (but for now, two new hedges)

Let’s get caught back up on a bunch of our positions and recent analysis because after putting in 18-20 hour days for the last couple months subsequent to having acquired Scutify.com and seeing its traffic explode, I’d pushed myself to the point of exhaustion and slept most

Trade Alert – Locking in more Tesla put profits

I’ve talked a lot about my $TSLA puts and most recently here – http://tradingwithcody.com/2013/11/06/trade-alert-locking-in-profits-and-noting-how-mea-culpas-are-key-to-success/ And I’ll repeat what I wrote earlier, “Tesla’s quarterly report was exactly as I’d expected, not up to the elevated expectations. So the stock was off about
