It’s a pretty solid open, with good breadth to the upside at more than 2 to 1 stocks moving to the upside. And then there’s Nokia. The company pre-announces very ugly guidance to the downside and suspends guidance for the next couple years as it transitions to the

Okay, final post of the week here on TradingWithCody.com as we wrap it up for the three day holiday weekend. It’s important to step away from the fray and clear our minds, and you guys know I’ve been reading, writing, researching, trading, traveling, buying land in NM,

For just over a year now, I’ve been telling people that we were likely starting to enter an app/tablet/smartphone/cloud-fueled new tech bubble. I told my viewers on Happy Hour repeatedly that Facebook would be worth more than a hundred billion dollars someday. I figured we’d

Crazy day, especially for our LPS short. It was down more than 5% at one point today, got back into the green, and finished down on the day. LPS got hit with new subpeonas today….who would have thunk it? Ha! We’ve been getting some press for having predicted
