Nice rally to close the day as the contra hour reversed yesterday’s ugly close and powered us steadily higher. I bought the DBA and that’s it today. One of my old mentors used to tease me about an answer I once gave on CNBC, when I answered Larry

I just bought some DBA, which is the symbol for the ETF otherwise known as Power Shares DB Agriculture Fund, an exchange-traded fund of food and agriculture related stocks. One of the core themes in my approach for the last few years o is a bet that the things we

Pretty steady betty open today as the market needs more of a catalyst than a meaningless S&P downgrade of some irrelevant country in Europe that speaks Portugese. One of the things we have to do as traders is deal with missed opportunities. I’ve been all over the

Ugly, slippery action into the close and the markets end lower on the day for the first time in a long while. Other than the LPS short, my trading sheets are bare today and that’s ok. I’ve got a couple more names I’m looking to buy, such

I added to my Lender Processing Services short. I’d buy long-dated puts on this name to boost my possible returns if the company collapses under prosecution as I expect it eventually will for its many roles in the ongoing rampant foreclosure and mortgage fraud systems in this country, but

The strong week continues and the markets climb steadily higher for day 6 out of the last 7. Aren’t you glad you didn’t panic and sell into the Japan nuke collapse last week? Indeed, if you steadily scaled in and if you got aggressive with me when I

Why is the market willing to pay a higher multiple for Oracle that it is willing to pay for Research in Motion when Oracle is growing slower than Research in Motion? Oracle grew its topline 29% year over year in the quarterly report they just issued last night and is

Steady opening this morning, as the markets (rightly?) focus on Oracle and Accenture being better indicators of corporate earnings momentum than RIMM. RIMM, loses marketshare, but still grew their topline more than 30%, all because it happens to be in the fastest growing market in the history of the planet

The market must not have read my morning note about expecting it to stay mostly flat all day today, as the steady strength in most stocks built upon itself throughout the day and we ended near the highs with tech leading the way. After hours RIMM, a 2/10 Revolution
