What to do about Nucor 05/27/08   —  Nucor Corporation and its subsidiaries engage in the manufacture and sale of steel and steel products in North America. NUE is a tough stock to analyze in my opinion.  It is in one of the leading industries in a horrible market, i.e. steel, yet its broken its longer term uptrend.  The company recent...

Graphic_rating_sell CAKE   Shortcake ? 05/26/08   —  Well, how about shorting cheesecake factory, symbol : CAKE.  The stock has been weakeaned by the overall economic downturn.  Less people going out to eat due to higher gas prices and those chosing to dine out not going upscale restaurants is presumably the theory.  Technically, the stock looks like ...

Putting it to the X 05/06/08   —  I am going on record and buying a bunch of X puts. I think todays run up to $173 is it for a while. I have been having bad luck on the downside of some stocks (VISA) so i wont be surprised if this bites me in the rear. I will post some charts later in the week that have been going well for me....

Why it’s NOT time to Short Apple and Visa 05/05/08   —  I could not help but read the comments on Brett’s call for shorting Visa and the other conversations around shorting Apple.  I have to disagree with both calls.  Visa is not a short because everyone thinks its going to be the next Mastercard.  Visa actually makes more money than Mastercard.   ...

GOOG   IPI   Follow Up on WLT 05/05/08   —  Last week I mentioned Walters industries.  The stock was in the low 70’s/high 60’s at that time.    Today, the stock broke out on huge volume of over 5 Million shares.  WLT closed out at 81.58 up 8.65 on the day.  The stock has been on fire for the past year.  I’m not one to chase ...

JPM 05/01/08   —  JPM is my favorite financial bar none.  I’ve liked the stock for several months now, but I took a small position recently.  I like it as a long-term investment.  They have the best CEO in the business in Jamie Dimon.  They basically stole Bear Stearns.  Think about it:  they didn’t even ...

Stashing Cash in Savings Accounts 05/01/08   —  There is nothing much to it; this is why it is so popular. Using OnlineSavingsAccounts.com, the steps are easy and fast: 1) Find a suitable bank with which you would like to have the online savings account and indicate whether yours would be a single (yours only) or a joint (along with your spouse o...

USO Stock Chart (Short Oil?? Call me crazy) 04/26/08   —  As we all know, oil has been on a monster run. Looking at this chart, I see a great opportunity to make money on  a short position once this stock reaches $100. According to the chart, if this stock reaches $100, we should see a correction worth a few points or so.  I really hope it gets to $100 be...

Throwing out the Chart on AMZN 04/26/08   —  I like AMZN at these levels.  I think the stock got sold off after earnings that were really good.  I like the AMZN play going into the second half of the year.  With gas prices expected to reach $4-$5/gallon, I think a lot more people will think twice about going to the malls 10 times or more durin...

Walters Industries 04/26/08   —  Per Yahoo:  Walter Industries, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, provides a line of products and services, including coal and natural gas, furnace and foundry coke, slag fiber, mortgage financing, and home construction worldwide.   They announce earnings on May 1.   This stock chart is unbelivab...

Mastercard Again 04/26/08   —  Just a quick reminder that Mastercard, one of my personal favorites, reports earnings on Monday April 28.

D R Horton 04/26/08   —  Yeah, I said it. DHI reports earnings on May 6.  They will probably be dismal. Technically, the stock doesn’t look bad.  The stock may have bottomed and is now forming an ascending triangle.  Supposedly,  DHI is a well managed home builder who has the financial strength to manage thru the depr...

EMC 04/22/08   —  The beaten-down-tech-stocks-that-might-be-recovering theme continues with EMC.  The stock has been halved recently.  Yes, they are subject to a slowing economy but that isn’t going to last forever.  I think the stock is attractive at these levels.  The company is a leader in its field and cont...

Broadcom 04/22/08   —  BRCD is a long time tech company that has recently gotten crushed, plain and simple.  The stock was riding high last year when it reported poor numbers and then it was game over.  Well, looks like Broadcom isn’t dead yet.  The stock has broken out of a 6 month downtrend.  The uptrend is strong...

Covance 04/22/08   —  Yahoo Profile of CVD:  Covance, Inc., a drug development services company, provides early-stage and late-stage product development services primarily to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries worldwide.  This stock has been a big winner in the biotech area.  Cramer gave it ...

RIMM 04/22/08   —  RIMM is a stock most people know.  They make the Blackberry devices that so many business types carry around.  The stock was a stellar performer in 2007 however experienced a substantial correction this year in sympathy with the entire market.  Looks like RIMM may stake claim along with Apple and Go...

Cat Stock Chart 04/20/08   —  This chart looks fairly decent. After almost a year we are testing a new high. The chart is telling me that we are going higher. We may retrace down to $80 before heading back up. I am taking a small position now and reloading if we get to $80...

Turning $5,000 into $400,000..UNREAL 04/19/08   —  I was contemplating it all day. To take options in Goog or not prior to earnings. I ended up playing the safe side and taking no risk at all. I am kicking myself now. If you were on margin with $5,000, you would have $10,000 in buying power. If you would have thrown it all into Goog April 500 call o...

Resistance Broken! 04/18/08   —  Today was a good day in the market. As you can see from the chart, we finally broke a 4 month resistance. We have been having higher lows as well. This is a great thing today and hopefully we will continue the move up. Congrats to all who got into MELI.  Up about 7pts from the post....
