Quick bulls, what’s the bear case?! And tell right now, bears, what’s the bull thesis? Several years ago, I trademarked the term “Flip It” because I noticed how crucial it is for great investors, traders, thinkers, business people, comedians, and everybody to flip conventional wisdom upside down. The

It’s an ugly day in the markets and our portfolio’s red too. I just bought some Celestica common stock on its weakness today following its recent weakness in days of late. It’s still one of the cheapest and least-covered tech stocks in the world.

Germany’s GDP was apparently better than the results of some poll from some news organization of some idiot economists who think it matters if they can extrapolate the last three months worth of macroeconomic trends into a decent guess about what the bureaucrats who are paid to hedonize and

I am also buying some Google common stock today. I think, like Apple, it looks like it could get be getting ready to go on run. The momentum traders have left both names — Apple because it’s been so flattish for months now and Google because it’s been worse

I do think Apple’s setting itself up to run in both the near-term as well as the longer-term, and as you guys know I see a $2k target on it in ten years anyway. I’d like to build up my Apple common position, so I’m adding to

What one stock taketh away, another giveth. (Flip it.) The hits we’re taking in Cisco and Celestica are being countered by the profits in Riverbed and Silver. Most of the rest of the portfolio is hardly budging and that means our portfolio is flat-to-slightly down on the day, much

Cisco and silver are each down almost 5% in the early action. On the conference call cisco CEO guided slightly lower again for next quarter for the fourth time in a row. I am digging through their report and others but the upshot is that I plan to hold my

Flattish day for the portfolio by the close. After the close though, our second largest position, Cisco, reported very strong earnings and the stock is up 3%. That said, we won’t know how the stock will trade tomorrow until we hear from Cisco CEO, John Chambers, on the upcoming

Let’s review what I’ve been doing to re-build my portfolio in broad terms. From a strategic standpoint, I’ve been buying the best companies I can find in the App Revolution and the Cloud Revolution which I think will explode into a new bubble in coming years and

The markets have fallen hard intraday, though it’s not a full 2% intraday swing and thus doesn’t meet the worrisome “dislocation” threshold. Regardless, the green on our sheets from this morning has mostly faded to red, though our SLV puts are now more profitable than ever after today’

Here’s some very good fundamental analysis from Gleacher & Co about the great quarter that Nuance reported last night. I agree with most of their analysis, except my price target is double theirs. They’re looking for a $26 stock. I think this stock could run to $50 in

Silver has dislocated itself to the downside again today, losing almost 5% this morning and making our SLV puts pop. Gold down. It sure seems to me that silver and not gold is the driver of the direction of the precious metals everyday. Nice gains in the portfolio again this
