DIAMONDS Trust, Series 1 (DIA)
With the Dow having broken down through support on both the daily and weekly charts, I am looking at the possibility of another put position to try to capitalize on a further down move and as a partial hedge against existing bullish positions. I probably will be looking at some slightly in the money puts with about a 4 month expiration.

Buying today's dip. Will hold for indefinite period of time. Much better to say: hold for the next 20 years or so.

I have documented the use of using the T2108 indicator to mark oversold areas in the market. This is the second wave of buys.

Dealing With the Crazy Swings

This market sure isn’t making it easy on anybody who went long yesterday. The market was off the lows but it feels like we could return back to those levels if the wind blows a certain way. I can’t believe how fast we go up and down 100 points these days.

The one thing I find curious is that I didn't see any analysts out there calling a bottom yesterday. That is certainly a good sign for anybody bullish as I like the analysts doing the opposite of what I am. There sure are a lot of negative headlines out there.

A few other “safe” stocks to consider for the long side are: Coca Cola (KO),  Proc

Casey & General Stores Outperforms Despite Market Turmoil

Casey & General Stores (CASY) has been trading ahead of the broader market amid recent turmoil and over the long-term. While grocers and food retailers have been slowing down, convenience stores like CASY have been outperforming. CASY has been consistently outperforming the Dow Jones (DIA), S&P 500 (SPY) and the Nasdaq (QQQQ). The company offers a dividend yield of 1.2%, while the majority of its industry peers pay no dividend at all.

Money Flow Reversals: One Reason This Market Has Been So Tricky
Readers of this blog know that I keep tabs on an indicator called "money flow", which measures the dollars moving into and out of individual stocks. Each trade is tracked for whether it occurs on an uptick or downtick. If the former, the dollar price of the transaction times the volume is added to a daily cumulative total. If the latter, the dollar price of the transaction times the volume is subtracted from the cumulative total. The final figure at the end of each day reflects the dollar volume (or "money flow") that has moved into the stock (if the total is positive) or out of it (if...

How cheap are stocks? You don't hear that question often these days, but we believe that is the appropriate question to ask as we pass through the one year anniversary of the subprime crisis.

Bank write offs have been staggering and many analysts believe some of the write offs will later be recaptured as the markets unfreeze and normal business activity returns to banking and real estate. Even if earnings are not recaptured, losses at some point will cease and the banks will again begin reporting earnings, thus the earning we are seeing today for the major indices are understated sign...

Incredulous Bears We Are
Logo1
28%

In spite of all the fashionable buying today, our outlook over the next week or so isn’t particularly bullish, and here are some reasons why:

  • Historically, it is really uncommon for the market to move up 2% the morning before a Fed announcement…
  • …and in general, these big Fed rallies tend to end either in boredom or in tears over the following several trading days.  Over the past decade, these kinds of flashy rallies have been sustained less than 33% of the time one week later, and even then by only a small margin.
  • Volume on the indexes was okay today, but just okay.  Price action this dramati
