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

Last week before LinkedIn.com came public, I’d said that it would likely pop huge from the IPO pricing of $40ish and that it would eventually grow into even an $80 per share valuation. By the time it opened that morning and had spiked from the $45 pricing to

Why buy into apps? Why invest in the cloud? Why not industrials and retail? Why bet against energy and financials? I am often asked why I am investing in the areas I’m focusing on and why I am ignoring other sectors of the economy. Let’s break this concept

I’m continuing to work on building up the Google position. I just bought some longer-dated, out-of-the-money Google calls. I’m looking going out to December 2011s expiration dates with $550-600 strike prices. I’ve already started buying some and will likely work these orders most of today. Here’s

A flat open, and I mean flat, as the DJIA’s so far ranged somewhere between being up zero and one quarter of one percent on the day. In rather non-shocking news, Riverbed and Silver are the biggest movers of the day. No surprise given how volatile they are typically

It’s just flat out ugly out there in the stock markets today, with higher-beta tech leading to the downside. (Higher-beta means that the stocks are more volatile on most days than the broader stock market indices). I’ve been steadily putting money to work today, as I’d noted

One of our biggest shorts, LPS is in big trouble. Again. Still. Lately. Late during Friday’s trading hours, this bombshell news hit, sending the stock down nearly 7%: One investor said that every time he looked at corporate misconduct, “No matter how bad you think it is, it’s
