Analysis on $AAPL and recent IPO $BOX

Don’t over trade. Don’t force trades. Remember the goal of what we’re doing — maximizing our huge potential returns while minimizing our potential for losses. Your $AAPL factoids of the day: $AAPL has $178 billion in cash, that’s equal to 1.2% of the ENTIRE US GDP.

$GOOG, $AAPL, $INTC and $MSFT: Predictions and platforms

Markets tanking hard today, $DJIA -384. Lackluster earnings reports from $MSFT and $CAT and others, a “surprising” decline in Durable Goods, and low volume from the Blizzard are (mostly) to blame. $AAPL earnings on deck tonight, and the pressure’s ramped up now on the bulls. Let’s look at

Financials in big trouble for 2015?

The #CurrencyWars are likely now the driver for the markets, the finanicals and perhaps geopolitics. I’m growing increasingly bearish on the financials again. Haven’t acted on it yet, still in homework phase, but methinks there are going to be some big TBTF banks on the wrong side of
