We never did get much of a lift from the opening pop, though the close was indeed rather strong. Things can change in a heartbeat, as always, but it sure does seem like the market’s path of least resistance is higher, if we can avoid more traumatic headlines from

It sure looked like we were going to fade all the way back to flat or down on the day there for a while, but the market has stabilized as the contra hour starts. I’m not pulling any triggers this afternoon. On another note, doesn’t it figure that

I’m following almost the exact same playbook I’ve been outlining for the last year. Despite the pullback they were already in, and despite the heart-wrenching tragedies and worrisome radiation threats from Japan, the broader stock markets have hung in there, down only 5-10%. Meanwhile, many of my favorite

And here comes the relief rally predicated upon the not-horrid news flow out of Japan. That’s not to say the news flow isn’t tragic and worrisome. We’ve got a nice, wide rally to start the day but I don’t expect we’ll get a whole lot

The DJIA has again rallied more than 100 points intraday off its lows…and just starting on the contra-hour. I was actually hoping that we’d get down to 11500 or so today so I could really step up the buying, but as it is, I’ve continued my disciplined,

Bought some Apple common and some more Riverbed. Markets are freaking out over the reality that Japan’s nuclear problems are indeed worse than the Japanese government had been letting on. I’ll look to buy more every 100 points lower for now and I’ll be more aggressive each tranche in.

Just bought about 10% of what I’d consider a full position in Riverbed. The stock’s triple from where it was when I first put it into the Revolution Investing portfolio, but I think it will be headed higher in coming years, so I pay up for it today.

Its a flattish open and the Japanese nuclear disasters are dominating the news once again. My biggest fear both as an investor and as a human being is that the government is downplaying the damage already being done to our planet. I remember mocking the five to six thousand barrel

And the contra-hour was a strong one today, with the DJIA rallying more than a hundred points from its intraday lows and cutting its daily loss in half. I’ll continue to step up the buying into any coming weakness. I’m walking around with butterflies in my stomach as

I did a nice bit of buying this morning as noted earlier and am now watching the stocks try to lift into the close. The action, given the Japanese nuclear disaster layered on top of the recent pullbacks that we were in the midst of anyway, seems to point towards

I’ve bought some common stock in Celestica, Cypress and Nokia, as planned. I’m as nervous as any other trader about the downside possibilities if this Japan nuclear crisis gets any more extreme than it already has — if you even believe that the governments aren’t downplaying the contamination

Yesterday after the market close I said that if we had had a down 2% day I probably would have bought more stocks yesterday. Well we have that 2% close down day this morning as the world wakes up two more nuclear headlines out of Japan. I am indeed looking
