Take a look at the volume on the weekly charts and rethink your position that volume is "going down big." If you will notice, volume tends to remain fairly steady during fairly steady market movements. When the markets get choppy is when you start seeing volume spikes. My thoughts on the...

Thank you for noticing that. I am tired of hearing "The volume is not there, I want to see more volume to the upside!" Go back and look over the last few years, and you notice that positive volume is usually around 5 billion shares on the S&P500, and spikes higher than the recent average are...

Good evening, Yes, Spain's downgrade had little impact, and France is having little impact, the ECB bank loss warning is having little impact, and the Chinese manufacturing slowdown is not having an impact. The technicals are taking over at this point, ignoring the news. That is a strong...

Hello, Since you weren't specific here is a general rundown: S&P500 (along with the Dow, etc.) - A short move up this coming week (w/e 6-4-10) to around 1129, followed by a very small break south (not quite to the 1065 mark). Then a summer long sideways trend channel from roughly 1100 to...

Hello Shortie, The utter lack of reaction to the Spain credit downgrade should tell you something about the market. Friday's selloff was to be expected, a massive run-up on Thursday, end of week, end of month...it was no surprise. The markets still have a little upside left in them (up to...

Before you try to short THC please read the following article: http://seekingalpha.com/article/190592-tenet-healthcare-tops-estimates-as-revenues-rise And regarding Moody's? MCO is already depressed by the news of potential lawsuits. There is little-to-no suprise news downside on this...

Let's see, you missed you classes in TA. TA helps to identify the best entry points for your money. If you hit an active, high volume day then by the time you have entered your stops you are well past 2-3 ticks. And if you witness a drop of 4 ticks immediately followed by a rise of 15 then...

If you consistently (over any given period of time) win then you can chalk it up to skill. If you predict stock moves consistently and gainfully then you can chalk it up to skill. If you can look at the past weeks or months and see a steady and progressive trend up in your account, you can...

Below is the best way to begin. It is the New York Department of State. They should have some information. (518) 473-2492 or corporations@dos.state.ny.us And here is the link. http://www.dos.state.ny.us/corps/contact.html I get those calls a couple of times a week. I have tried...

Here are a couple of more to add for the long term: LINE - Energy MLP STON - Graveyard MLP WPZ - Pipeline MLP BGY - a nice dividend paying CEF All pay nice div's and are stable.
