WXCO cleared a descending triangle today on volume and may clear a CANSLIM base next week, maybe Monday. Nice fundies -- read up on the company: http://www.whxcorp.com/. Improving markets and decreasing costs. Big insider buying from $4-$5.

There are two places you can get into trouble that I see. First, TBT does not exactly mirror .5 TLT short. Second, the spread on the options will eat into the tiny interest advantage you are trying to gain.

I don't see the benefit of a long-term short in stocks. Maybe you can make 100% over a long time period on a couple of stocks, but most don't go down that far. In a rising market it makes sense to be long, with a few hedges if you are really risk averse. A short will never triple in value. The...

I don't see a USD collapse in the cards. Currencies are a zero-sum game; they are all measured against each other. Being the U.S. is still the largest economy in the world by far, if we falter here the ripples are still felt worldwide (maybe not in 15 years when China overtakes us...). Even if...

My experience is that when you have a big year in the stock market, like last year, people are selling stocks from February into mid-March to raise money for taxes. This is pretty typical action for this type of environment, slow and choppy. I wouldn't be aggressive short here though for any...

WCRX eps on Monday. Interesting to see the report and market reaction.

Out of this trade with downtrend line broken.

The oversold FXE may be good for a little run here. The 5-day RSI didn't confirm its recent low-reversal day on 2/25. The currency traders are very short and may want to cover to lock in profits. The FXE is unusually strong today. I think it's good for a couple of weeks for a countertrend move.

To mitigate risk in directional call buying, I focus on stocks in clear uptrends in markets in up trends. Right now, stock market is in a consolidation (or correction) phase so directional call buying has to be done with extreme care or just avoided all together. IMHO, the easiest directional...

These kind of news events are just intraday scalps

I day trade and swing trade.

I mostly trend trade in stocks and options. In my case, how much I take home depends on how the market is trending. Over the last 10 years my best year was about 270%, my worst year 5%, and my average 157%. Mostly, I do consisent week over week, and score big a few times a year (except for that...

13:10 Bloomberg FSLR Germany amends aid for solar parks in draft bill; to cut aid for solar parks by 15% not 25% You need a news feed!

TLT puts are working, following the down trend line connecting the Oct, Nov, Feb peaks. I own the June 105 puts.

Take advantage of free trials to see other peoples' approaches, but don't pay a dime for their advice. Take Michael Parness' website (http://www.trendfund.com). The thing I learned there from speaking to the kid on the phone who wanted me to buy their coaching service was Michael makes his big...

Still playing chess! Now I play mostly on http://www.chesscube.com. Still trading too :). Pretty exciting couple of years. Kinda dull right this instant in comparison!

Truthfully, I dont have time to read this whole thread, so hopefully this wasn't covered. The small buyers and sellers don't determine stock price. In the long-run, its the big money that could afford to buy a controlling interest in an entrerprise. Of course, if you could buy a controlling...
