Catching up on some useless headlines I see…while CNBC’s ratings were up 20% as whole, their numbers for everybody not getting social security were down 20%. Where did those viewers go…obviously not to Fox Biz–not ... ( more)

Gotta love how the press frames news—in this case the Clintons making $100mil+…over 8 years…c’mon it’s not so much, they’ve done a better job than many corporate CEOs who are much richer!

I’ve got nothing much to say right now and thanks to last night’s crazy Gawker-hosted party, I’ve got a pounding headache and I’m trying to watch the only 3 volatile low priced stocks at the ... ( more)

As bad as corporate management, brokers, and value investors are, financial commentators and journalists are some of the scariest monsters out there. Simiarly, they pretend to ALWAYS know what they’re talking about, while NEVER disclosing ... ( more)

Don’t ya hate when you put a stock on your watchlist, tell yourself you’ll trade it if it acts a certain way, but when that special price action occurs, for some reason, you’re not watching ... ( more)

This is a profession where we know 90% of the players lose—you want to do everything you can to not be one of them. What’s worked for me is short selling weakening stocks that have ... ( more)

March was damn good to me, earned 8.63% , helping extend my lead as the top ranked guy on Covestor. These kinds of returns warm my belly, especially when so many mainstream allegedly “safe strategies” ... ( more)

Let the clowns have their fun, this isn’t a game, it’s business. Leave the gun, take the cannoli. No mercy. No compassion. No trust. Only profit. Quicker you learn that the better.
Today looks like a ... ( more)

Just like the title says. Switzerland’s largest bank lost $12 billion in one quarter and is writing down just over one third of their entire $55 billion marketcap. Long-term investors, read it and weep. The ... ( more)

As I posted early this morning, there were lots of potential shorts today, but I had to be extra-choosy due to the SEC’s reign of terror over accounts under $25k (explanation down below).
Awoke early ... ( more)

For you idiots out there–don’t be shy–that was the command given at the Battle of Bunker Hill, meant to get the patriots not to fire their weapons until the enemy was right up close to ... ( more)

As I noted on Thursday, REED is my ideal kind of play—morning spikes, then sideways action, fades or plunges. No different from other recent microcrap runners SHZ (best to short on the 3rd, 4th and ... ( more)

Gotta start this linkfest off with one of the best quotes I received all week:

Today, Cygnus (CYGT), a long-time Ticketmaster-wanna-be, lost their long-time battle against bankruptcy. They had been struggling ever since their first brush back in early 2006, barely clinging to life as if they were Terri Schiavo, ... ( more)

I give the guy crap because he covers the most popular topics du jour, hasn’t been returning my emails as of late and for some unknown reason, still hasn’t received the copy of my book ... ( more)

(SOLF)—up 50% in 5 days, solid resistance at $15, but solid earnings today means the short side is limited, although it’s tough to be bullish either…let’s see how the pattern plays out, I’ll update tomorrow

Early morning, reserved shares in 3 hard-to-borrow stocks, all multi-day runners, COIN, WSCI and REED. Since I typically do better with low priced stocks, I focused all my attention squarely on REED…mistake #1 (today’s only ... ( more)

Take one part failing company (VION), one part 100%+ surge within a few days ($1.25 to $2.50 in 2 days), add in a bushel of bitter shareholders (stock’s down from $28 in 3 years, ouch!), ... ( more)

Looks like Yahoo! Finance has decided to try to get more clicks by hiding the date/time stamps of the press releases on a stock’s main page! How can you show a list of headlines/news/PRs without ... ( more)
