Holy shit. Seriously. August, September and October have had all the drama of a lifetime if you are a news and stock junkie. We have seen a $VIX of 50, daily 8 percent ranges in the S&P and yet we are right back to where we started from 3 months ago on most of the …

Pin a Price on Netflix…No Different than 130…Time to Avoid.
My best trade this year is now $NFLX. Not that I made money…I lost money. It’s that the $10 loss in the stock is heavenly compared to what I would be facing this morning. It was dumb for me to buy stock at $130 and many on the stream told me so. The stock was …
Story Stocks, Aha Moments and This Week’s ‘Momentum Monday’ (full of Stories and Aha’s)
This morning I got some great news. I also got proof for the umpteenth time that individuals can pick stocks. One of my stocks/companies ($RNOW) was purchased by Oracle. It’s exciting to wake up to news like this, especially when you don’t have inside information. It’s really exciting to get the news from your friends …
Behold….McDonalds!!!!
Growth is in interesting places….or at least has been. The world is focused on banks and currencies and agriculture and metals. Though my McDonalds burgers do tase like metal and smell like dirt, the stock has been a monster and breaking out today AGAIN. The markets are just a fascinating place and Stocktwits is a …

Talking Dirty to my iPhone and Loving it…It is Pefect’ER’!
I have been nervous about my $AAPL stock and have been a seller at the $400 level a few times in the last month. I bought some back for my kids though the other day at $418 because I was panicked. I was hearing great things from trusted sources on how good the new software …
Screw Diversification…and The Amazon Starve Wall Street Palooza
You have to give the Occupy Wall Street thingy some credit. It won’t go away. I don’t really care about what they stand for. Just ‘being’ and not moving is something. It’s like the financial stocks. They do the same thing. They just sit there and be. Amazon $AMZN is also occupying wall street at …
What Does a Market Bottom Look Like…Revisited
On October 4th I wrote a post describing the Market Bottom that might be in place . I was buying some high beta stocks. The market has rallied in an insane way since late in the day October 4th. I have now purged the extra beta I had purchased. As with any rally, the believers …
The Next Steve Jobs…Stop the Insanity!
Fuck you anyone who actually wastes the digital earth with this dumbest of posts… and there have been a few. Thank goodness the first one I saw was from FOX News so I rest my case. It has gotten boring reading all the people that say they ‘knew’ him writing about him as if it …
The Steve Jobs Market Bottom
It’s just a bummer right now for sure. BUT…the US markets will open tomorrow. Products will ship and America will begin to anoint the next Steve Jobs because that’s what America does. America has the shortest memory and the best sense of humor. We are hated for it. No doubt Steve was in pain and …
