Stocks: The Real Post-Meltdown Victors
A year after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, many firms have seen their value decimated by the stock market. A surprising number, however, have added billions of dollars to their worth.

Market Commentary Week ending May 4, 2012
Overview: "Clueless in Seattle" was a comedic movie but the current "episode" of "Clueless in Washington" is not so funny. Once again, as I have stated in the past, the concept of a "jobless recovery" is a "bad joke". "Unemployed consumers do not consume" and the manufacturers of those unconsumed products will be next to lay off workers. On Thursd ...May 07 -
Market Commentary Week ending April 27, 2012

WALL STREET TRASH: "BIG SHARK" or "LITTLE ANCHOVY"?
After looking back on my adventures and experiences on Wall Street one thing is certain. If my life was a movie I wouldn't believe it's true and you would think it's fiction not fact.

In other words the other 13 days of the year have produced negative returns. In addition to that on an intraday basis I have noticed a lot of intraday volatility ...Jan 25 -
Why should AAPL be Sold Before Earnings!

The Friday Reversal Theory
As a 20 year trader I have picked up on patterns in the stock market and one such pattern which I fully subscribe to is that Fridays tend to reverse the dominant trend from the week. With this holiday shortened week behind us and a 22 handle rally in the S&P 500 in just three trading days leads me to believe that today will produce a nega ...Jan 20 -
