It’s a very ugly open this morning…because of new concerns that Spain and Italy are to join Ireland and Greece as problem children of the EU…again. Each and every time we’ve seen the markets get hit badly here in the US over some concerns about some

Here’s a list of my positions, in approximate order from largest to smallest, though the variations between relative sizes are decreasing as time wears on and I get these longer positions built up. We’ll have some shorter-term and newer name trades in coming weeks to complement these longer-term

Using the weakness as an opportunity to scale into some longs as I’d noted I wanted to earlier. Google, Adtran and Nuance common are what I’m buying. Easy does it, I am getting closer to having these positions the relative sizes I want them to be here after

The markets are opening slightly lower this morning and there’s little in the way of catalysts in the news today. That said, we might not need a fundamental catalyst in addition to the strong earnings season we just made it through to pop this market. Take a look at

Well, it’s indeed too bad I couldn’t get ahold of some LNKD to short when it was at $120 a share as I’d noted earlier I was trying to. The stock’s fallen 25% intrady from those levels and is now trading at $94. No looking back

So LinkedIn.com is coming public and holy cow is the mainstream media hyping the heck out of it. Every major news outlet is breathlessly explaining how the IPO was originally priced in the low $30s last week, then upped to the mid $40s earlier this week and how it

It’s a nice rally with lots of gainers and few decliners this morning as rollover off the downhill side of the trading week. The big story of the morning is the Linked.com social network IPO. The media is hyping it much more than it needs to be and

Nice up day for the markets and for our portfolio. Steady as she goes for now. Let’s hit today’s big movers and a note on each: Cypress — up 5% today. It’s been a steady climber for a long time now and has been in pause mode for

I first started flagging Adtran for subscribers back when it was almost exactly half of the price it is right now. The stock has come down from $47 a couple months ago and has been trading in the very high $30s to the low $40s since. The company is scrambling
