A Technical Cross Roads

I find it interesting how technical patterns often come to a point of resolution as major fundamental news is released.  This is true for assets across the board.  Tomorrow’s FOMC announcement once again comes as we are at a cross roads in several different assets.  Tomorrow’s announcement will kick off the next leg in several markets, [ READ MORE ]

Stock Picker’s Delight

The market has gone absolutely nowhere in over a month, oscillating around a rising 20 day moving average.  While the broader indices continue to churn, some excellent setups to both the long and short side have revealed themselves.  Instead instead of focusing on the direction of the overall market tonight, below are a bunch of the best [ READ MORE ]

Best AT&T Bashing Post Ever

I read this and couldn’t help myself from posting it, it’s just that good, pure genius.  As you know I am a huge fan of my iPhone and believe AT&T is one of if not the most evil corporation on earth.  (The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs)[ READ MORE ]

Weekend Reading

Oh what a week it was in the news, the market on the other hand, ehhh.  We continue to trade in a range between 1113 and 1086 on the S&P 500, now back above the 5 day moving average at the close today.  What’s nice with the chop though is that issues are moving independent [ READ MORE ]

Lessons in Disaster Management and Health Insurance Stocks

As the debate in the Senate over the health care reform bill heats up, the market for health insurers is on fire.  While the broader market continues to churn into the end of the year, it seems we finally have somewhat of a real stock market instead of a market of stocks.  The health insurers [ READ MORE ]

Pipeline Masters is ON!

Winter on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii is a spectacle to put it lightly.  Every winter massive storms in the Gulf of Alaska blow huge swells towards this stretch of beach producing some of the most amazing waves on earth.  Behind the Eddie Aikau big wave event, the Pipeline Masters is the most famous [ READ MORE ]

Late Night Comedians Do Finance…Kind Of

I’m watching some late night television, I love John Stewart and Steven Colbert.  Frankly, John Stewart has more credibility than MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News combined.  Sadly, you’ll find more real news during this hour of television than you’ll find all day on cable news.   As a writer and performer Steven Colbert is far and away more [ READ MORE ]

Eddie and the Dollar

Quick post tonight as I’ve been running around all day it seems.  It’s officially winter in NYC this week as I wonder, as I do every year, why I moved back east from San Diego.  To top it off I watched a little of the Eddie Aikau contest held in Hawaii and had to dig [ READ MORE ]

Back to the Bottom (of the range)

I’ve been warning you for a few weeks now that momentum in the market has stalled out.  Many weekly time frames were looking ripe for a pull back if not a complete end to the rally, see $AAPL.  Market leaders have been slowing getting picked off, one by one, like apples from a tree.  Traders [ READ MORE ]

Eddie Would Go

It looks like the famed Eddie Aikau memorial big wave will get under way tomorrow at Waimea Bay on the north shore of Oahu.  The contest has not been held since 2004 due to swell not being large enough for the tournament.  If you aren’t familiar with the rules, the swell must be at least 25 [ READ MORE ]
