Back in September we built a way for StockTwits members to add sentiment when they post a message. We knew it would help give off interesting information. When Apple was in the midst of it’s 8 week meltdown recently, at Stocktwits, we saw a huge relative drop in sentiment for $AAPL on StockTwits before the correction: …
From: November 2012
Momentum Monday – Obama is Day Trading Apple…Jeff Bezos is Day Trading the US government and PayPal (EBAY) hits Seven Year Highs and Why it’s Cool to 3D print Dollar Bills and Guns
I can’t prove Obama is day trading $AAPL, but in the 10 trading days since Obama was reelected Apple has moved more than 30 percent. I am pretty sure Steve Jobs has not died again or been reborn in that span of time. In the end, no real charts were broken, Thanksgiving was huge (always …
Golf…The ‘L’ is for Lindzon
I am witnessing a turning point in my son Max’s life. He is taking hard to the game of golf. For thirteen years I have thought about him liking, maybe loving the game. I have wrestled with how hard to push, teach, get teachers, force practice, play etc…but in the end, just a growth spurt, …
The Stock Market, Venture Capital and Angel Investing…All Connected
From my years of investing across asset classes I know that everything is connected. Today we are armed with data sources that did not exist before which helps guys like me invest in a more informed way, if not better. Yesterday, while staying at The Encore Hotel, another Steve Wynn $WYNN Masterpiece, I holed myself …
China China China…Seriously…Pay Attention
Enough about Apple for a while. If you were nervous (I was), today was your day to lighten up. Sell the whole thing. Get short. I know it was wrong to sell into the panic last week because I have been the guy panicking. Today though is another story. Today, even Elon Musk, says Google …
Apple’s Price/Earnings Dilemma…I Mean the G/S (Google/Samsung Dilemma)
In hindsight, the almost 30 percent crash in $AAPL stock will be easy to understand. I am digging into the streams and research and data to get an edge, because I am bleeding money and my instincts only say buy and keep buying both Google and Apple. Henry Blodget has a great summary post up …
The Coming Social BOOM ….and Max has Flow
If that was the social media bubble busting, color me happy. When the internet bubble burst in 2000, a bazillion small individual investors imploded (check Etrade’s stock price today $ETFC). When the credit bubble burst in 2007, the American homeowner blew themselves up (Barney Frank made them do it). Sure, the big banks were bailed …
So You Want to Invest….
Today was a typical day for me… 1. I woke up and lost money owning Apple. 2. I got 500 emails asking me if they should buy Apple. 3. I read two thousand $AAPL posts on Stocktwits. 4. I went on CNBC and waved my hands a lot and said insane things that will be …
Working for Edges…
Momentum Monday…Is ‘The Big Apple’ (Not Manhattan) Rotten…and Thank God we can trust Bank of America
Not much is working. It’s one of those painful periods for trend guys like me. Winners are becoming losers. It’s worse though for dip buyers. Losers are becoming bigger losers (see Groupon). If you are a delusional person, November is rocking. Bank of America considers itself a ‘trusted brand‘. But I digress…. Since September, Apple …
