Deep Market Thoughts…Go Golf…I Am!	There are certain periods of the year where you just need to go out and enjoy life and walk away from the screens. Now is one of them. You have been and will continue to be churned. Sure, we have had a few great trades (FXP and SMN) the last month and new long entries on this blog (JNJ, CCC, EURX, YHOO, QCOM, IBB, WU, WERN etc) are doing ok if not great, but we are headed into a very interesting fourth quarter and you need to be fresh and flush with cash. Global indices have been crashing, ...	August 15, 2008
Deep Market Thoughts…Here’s My Plan	I am not smart enough to bet on a crash. I did say here a few weeks ago we would see a Dow below 11,000, but we are now pretty much there. If we crash, who knows really where we stop,…a few YUTZ’s will get famous and survive off it for 20 years in Business Week and Barron’s, but that won’t help you. With the Dow down 3,000 plus points from the high and China down 50 plus percent, I need to put on my positive hat for a moment. I have been selective shorting stocks and E...	July 07, 2008
ETFs for a Rainy Season	Everybody knows that when it rains, it pours, and exchange traded funds (ETFs) are no exception. The uncertainty is pouring in all around us, with a looming presidential election, a Dow Jones industrial average that swings wildly from one day to the next and spiking commodity prices. Rudy Martin for The Street gives us some ETF suggestions for times like these. Market Vectors Coal (KOL): Holds 39 coal stocks from around the world. The latest surge in coal prices signals the start of a...	June 17, 2008
Fast Money Recap	Word On The Street WORD VIDEO HERE Apple Computer Trade A number of brokerage houses raised their price target on Apple Computer (AAPL) due to the cheap price of the new 3G iPhone. Citigroup upped its price target to $287 from $248 and Lehman Brothers raised its price target to $234 from $202. Macke said that Apple’s partners like Synchronoss (SNCR) sold off today. Adami thinks Apple can trade up to $200. Strong Dollar Trade The traders discussed the possibility of the Fed raising interest...	June 10, 2008
Short ETFs Stand Tall on a Rough Market Day	While the Dow Jones industrial average and other major indexes sank in trading today, exchange traded funds (ETFs) that short the markets reaped the rewards. The strongest 20 ETFs in trading today were all funds that short the market. Sitting near the top were: ProShares UltraShort FTSE/Xinhua China 25 (FXP), down 12.4% year-to-date ProShares UltraShort Basic Materials (SMN), down 28.2% year-to-date ProShares UltraShort Oil & Gas (DUG), down 24.4% year-to-date Rydex Inverse 2x Russell ...

Five Wrong Trades Don’t Make a Right…Just LOSSES	I just sold DUG which DUG me a nice profit hole. Betting on a turn in oil (or any fast moving security) can lead to quick losses. I did not need to make that ego trade, and I paid. I am not willing to double up and triple up to break even. Took the losses to fight somewhere else. Dell is a few pennies from my stop. $21 to be exact. SKF, SRS and FXP are also close to my stops. I will stick with my many trending longs for now, but licking my wounds and about to call Verizon to unleash some...	May 16, 2008
Deep Market Thoughts…It’s Not The News, It’s How Stocks React AND Ten Great Words for Innovation	The bears have been pissed off for 1,500 Dow points because they are stubborn. As always, along with triple lindy inverse ETF’s, and no uptick rule, they added fuel to the rally. Despite the continued flood of bad news, stocks ralllied. This week might have seen a change. Tonight we have Fedex warning. It’s not that they warned, I mean how could they not be affected, it’s that they did it late Friday and that the stock is getting creamed. I twittered earlier today that I was ...	May 09, 2008
Deep Market Thoughts…Keep it Simple	Selling Puts has to be the most assanine strategy of all time . Just because Warren Buffett does it does not make it smart. He makes markets. He is too big to fail. You on the other hand are too small to succeed. See the difference . I have a huge amount of really smart sophisticated readers that will disagree, but that’s what makes markets. Much like tips, if you are going to last in the business, just say no to them. As per the markets, it’s days like this that get me paid. A...	May 08, 2008
Deep Market Thoughts…Nickels and Dimes with Coinstar (CSTR)… and Crackberry (RIMM) on Wallstrip	I was in meetings all day so did not do anything except get stopped out of my China short (FXP). What I have done the last few days is nothing to add value to my portfolio. I am out of Google and Apple, which both rocketed today and my gold and silver adds have done squat. Today was all tech and financials and the technicians are wildly optimistic. Too bad they missed the first 1,400 Dow points of this rally being bearish. I am looking at re-adding Coinstar (CSTR) to my portfolio (I owned it ...	May 01, 2008
Long Apple Short Dell…Just Short Dell and Other Portfolio Changes	I wish more of you would just follow me on Twitter because I am getting closer to only posting on stocks and portfolio changes over there. It takes a second and you just have to follow a few people and eavesdrop. Once again, I recommend Dr. Brett , Pearlman, Andy Swan, Soren and any of the other regular commenters here. For those that continue to ask, here are some of my latest changes which I have been Twittering. Note - I remain very stock light. I have been long Apple for a while until tod...	April 30, 2008
