Before I get into my thoughts, understand a casino wants you to continue playing with "house Money" because they know sooner not later they will recover their money and take yours before you leave the casino.
Now, for this BEAR market rally, I have taken profits along the way andhave jumped in and out of positions when momentum dictates. As of today, I am clearly on the side of the rally is ending. The major factor that leads me to believe this rally is ending is the shear (dramatic) drop-of…

I don't know much about future and options market but I just thought let me check with experts on this forum about this doubt in my mind.

CMED has been in my watch list for couple years, and I found a very interesting thing: there is an apparent earning effect for CMED. If you take a look of the chart, you will notice that CMED had a huge gain after earning report.

Although CMED’s leading product ECLIA (Enhanced …

Gold plowing thru new highs...silver pushing towards $19...copper back over $3...lead and zinc are both over a $1...those make most metals bulls very happy. I'm starting to wonder when the hose will be taken out to take out the current fire behind the metals.
It's interesting to see that many of the companies I mentioned earlier this year, while having a great performance in 2009, have not returned to their pre-2008 levels even at current metal prices. My thinking behind this is that the fi…
Which one of these charts would you go with ?
I would chose IO as there is much less overhead resistance and a longer base. Someone who looks at the really short term might chose ISYS thinking that IO has risen too much in the the last three weeks.
Lets see how this plays out.

My collegues at work...they know I'm heavy into the market.
On down days (like today), they love to tease and asked how I'm doing. However, there's been more up days than down days since March 2009. I'm sure some of those collegues deep down wished they were in the market.
When the market stormed up to DOW 10000, I'm sure many market players and fund managers got out. When the market played several times at DOW resistence 10100, also many got on the sidelines. Now that the market is nea…

I want to talk about the challenge of exponential growth in a finite world. This is a concept that while on its surface seems easy to get, most people don’t fully grasp it.
Any growth rate that is positive will lead to a doubling in size eventually -- the higher the growth rate, the quicker the doubling. A quick "back of the envelope" method of figuring it out is known as the rule of 70. If you divide a growth rate into 70, it will roughly give you the time for something to double. Thus …

Yesterday, after market close, ADC Telecommunications Inc. (ADCT) declared financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Earlier, the Board of Directors of ADC had taken a decision to change its fiscal year from Oct 31 to Sep 30. As a result, fiscal year 2009 ended on Sep 30, 2009, which means the company got only two months as its fourth quarter. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 would, therefore, not be comparable to either the prior-year quarter or the previous quarter. For this r…
