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 […]

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 […]

Had a long trip home, but I got a great night’s sleep and have been cranking since early this morning. A well-rested trader is one who thinks more lucidly. Most of our positions are still less than half of what I want them to be, but I’m mostly continuing to work on the short side […]

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, […]

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- Apple Ciena Celestica Cisco Cypress DBA Corning Google Microsoft Nokia Nuance Riverbed Shorts – Lender Processing Services XLF I’m going to look to start building […]

I bought some Nuance and that’s about it into the close. Is the week already over?! It’s important for investors and traders to acknowledge the broader macro-economic cycle and how it can affect your portfolio. And more to the point, with government helping fund most of the biggest corporations and the financial sector that […]

So the markets look as though they are going to try and stabilize here around the DJIA 12,000 level. I think we’re going to need some sort of a catalyst, perhaps some good news out of the middle east and a subsequent drop in the price of oil. Or, maybe some positive domestic economic confirmation. […]

Email from a Trading with Cody subscriber: “Hey Cody! What do you think about the reverse split with Citi? Buy?? The other big banks? Buys? Thanks, Shawn.” Shawn, earlier this week, I started shorting the XLF of which Citi and its welfare-funded business is a part. Citi would be insolvent right now if not for […]

One unmistakable pattern in the markets the last couple weeks — where they open, they pretty much close. While we’ve had our fair share of 1% intraday moves since I started trading again, we haven’t had a full intraday swing from positive to negative or from negative to positive in a long time. The markets […]

I shorted some XLF, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that represents a bunch of financial, mortgage servicers that gets me short the TBTF, bankster stocks that are somehow still receiving “emergency” welfare and interest rate loans from the taxpayer and are now going to start literally transferring some of that taxpayer largesse that they are receiving […]
