The markets are trying to rally…and as we’re within just 3 or 4% of the recent multi-year highs, there could be some momentum to an upward rally. Gotta see the breakouts first though, and we’re not there yet, even though the charts sure “look” like they could

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

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
