Thanks to Trader-X for digging out this classic. This commercial will be funny in 100 years. Obviously, he knew Eddie Lampert was coming into the picture and I am surprised this dude is not doing hard time for insider trading. NO one would buy K-Mart :) .

Wallstrip – The Movie!
I always wanted to have a movie trailer. The money is just a tad less than I imagined.
Preventing Identity Theft – advice from someone smarter than me!
David Cowan has been on my blogroll from the beginning. His blog is full of great posts on investing, roadmaps and advice for entrepreneurs. I was extremely excited to hear that he and his firm Bessemer Ventures were investing in Lifelock. He has a great post on “Preventing Identity Theft” that explains the firm’s view …
Apple and Google lead the way – Sweet Nina – what a stock market! Here are my favorites…
I own so many stocks it is ridiculous. Every day, I have hundreds of all-time highs to choose from. My friends at Blackstar (long only trend following stock fund) – who own every all-time high – MUST own 2,000 stocks plus right now. I will check on that later. UPDATE – 1,300 stocks. I am …
The return of the Dot-Com Boom!
Thanks Fred for linking to this amazing article by Numair on the “Return of the Dot Com Boom.” My takeaway – Sean Parker is a stud AND IPO’s are coming. We NEED them and Wall Street will GIVE THEM TO YOU, before this Nasdaq run is over.
The "Man on the Street" HATES STOCKS! They love REAL ESTATE – OY!
If Wallstrip’s stock shows were and index, we would be gathering assets like crazy. We are on fire. It just so happens that trend following and momentum investing are red hot these days. It WON’T last, I just won’t or can’t predict when it will end. You enjoy the ride and be responsible booking partial …
Electronic Arts – Game on!
I am not a gamer. I have never owned Electronic Arts. No good reason. Big Woops (mistake) on my part. Like any great growth stock, the ride has not been perfectly smooth, BUT – what a ride. Our show today at Wallstrip focuses on the gamers and “Madden” football. An amazing brand within a brand …
MELT UP ? The semiconductor stocks are hinting….
Mother of god – Lam Research is at an all-time high. Novellus is up almost $3 bucks. Bbbbbbuuuuubbbbble flashback? I quickly pulled up AMAT and INTC – nah! Just a strong market where good performance is rewarded and crap is crap. This has to be the best market for traders in years. It almost makes …
Copart – Bang Bang
I love that movie from Foul Play – “Kojak – Bang Bang.” One stock that has really been trending the last few years is COPART. Boring business – or is it? I think it used to be a boring business, until they leveraged the internet starting in 2003. The stock has been a rocket since …
Merger Monday – Dealmakers love trend following
FreePort (FCX) is being bought out at BIG all-time highs and Equity Office Properties (EOP) the same, proving once again that the biggest trend followers on Wall Street are dealmakers and the investment bankers. It is too early to tell whether they are stupid prices, but surely both companies could have been had 2-3 years …
