TickerBandit befriends the trend.
"Trends have the following characteristics:
1. Trends are made up of days whose prices are higher than prices in the recent past. Typically there is a high proportion of up-days with respect to down-days. However in some cases these can be rather even with the trend arising from the up days being significantly greater in price change than the down days.
2. Trending prices tend to be above the 20-day moving average and very near, in some cases above, the upper bollinger band.
3. Trending prices are always associated with overbought indications.
There are periods in the market which are synchronous to overbought/oversold conditions. These are characterized by trading ranges. Overbought/Oversold strategies can outperform during these periods. That said, for most tickers, the momentum strategy makes up for that by limiting losses during consolidation and by being favorably positioned during trending movements." Read more...

TheHammer questions the value of rare earth metals.
"Greed is good, especially if you were a hedge fund or investment bank that got Molycorp shares at $16 IPO price. This is a company that is in the "Rare Earth" metals group. The rare earth metals are those at the bottom of the periodic table. They are used in many tech products including hybrid cars and Ipods.
China recently cut back exports on rare earth metals. This is to keep the minerals for themselves and cut back on environmental damage. Cramer and Najarian have been pumping Molycorp. The company has no profit, but has mines in California.
If these minerals were so important to tech and supply was cut back, shouldn't the entire Nasdaq be crashing? If prices wre going to double or triple for rare earth minerals, then margins would be coming down for tech companies. Yet we did not see that, so it's all bogus." Read more...
