for mobile search, check the details http://lauristonletter.blogspot.com/ I wonder if GOOG is reacting to this weekend news?

Something happening in Japan (with carry trades) or in China (bubble market, I am profiling China currently as I think this is where trouble will start http://lauristonletter.blogspot.com/). I think it will be commodity related or carry trade (hedge funds). China and also I understand Vietnam is...

have you looked at valuation lately? I think a lot is priced in for takeover, but as time goes by price may be hard to justify. Worth watching, it is forming a base at the top http://lauristonletter.blogspot.com/

China equity markets dropped another 4% today. Also the US has decided to take China to the WTO over unfair trade practices (announced today). I am more interested though in how the Chinese markets behave next week - at this point I think there are many who recently bought the top and the last...

China closed 4% today. It seems to have a knack of coming back up, so we may have to wait until Monday to see if it will continue down http://lauristonletter.blogspot.com/

I have posted the attached chart on my blog and wondering if we are due for a drop until around mid-2007 going by historical probabilities - seems every time we get here to this upper boundary we head down for a few months. Looking at semis and GOOG etc, looks like the drop will happen here too...

looks to me like end month Window Dressing was coordinated to coincide with President Bush visiting NYSE today and it worked perfectly. I had my instincts the minute I heard he was on the floor and I noted them down http://lauristonletter.blogspot.com/

AAPL is dropping below the bear flag and looks headed for 84 then 77. I am watching and may take a short position but only after Fed announcement today http://lauristonletter.blogspot.com/

for next 6-12 months I think semis and flash are in problems, I state the reasons in my blog. I think recovery will not be soon. I am avoiding semis for now and even looking to short some like TXN http://lauristonletter.blogspot.com/

From the media reports lately, I would be careful with China market and China stocks. I am not saying a nasty drop is coming, only that care is needed now that everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. soon everyone will be in and no one left to keep buying. that is when trouble will start. I have...

Trend following is simply the best and easiest and stress-free (or lowest stress) trading i know. I do both trendfollowing and counter trend, but my best trades are trend-followers especially in last 2-3 years http://lauristonletter.blogspot.com/

if you are already good at trading i.e. you already have a plan and system, then you could trade options or futures but you will have to be pretty good. I have seen many people start with that kind of money after apprenticeship with an experienced trader and they went on to make good money. But...

I think at extremes volume does lead price. Volume means extinguishing of demand or supply and price is ready for the next move. Especially when volume now is higher than previous period and price makes a dramatic move, the momentum has higher probability of continuing that move...

if you do the opposite of a losing strategy you may still lose, depends on whether you will do the opposite of everything. Trading has many facets like psychological - you will have to change that also and do the opposite then maybe you might win. Risk management also, every single facet you...

for options trading try: http://www.1option.com/ http://optionstheeasyway.blogspot.com/ on my blog I do stock and options trades http://lauristonletter.blogspot.com/

I agree about Cramer - how can we get Barrons to include him? anyone know?

Commissions and bid/ask will eat up the account pretty fast if you use such a money management strategy. I believe you always need your winners to be much bigger in size than losers first and foremost whatever else. http://lauristonletter.blogspot.com/

I think when the drop comes it will be nasty because everyone who is holding good profits will want to protect those profits. The exit door is going to be pretty narrow. But after that drop, expect a significant rally to take out the short positions and puts bought to protect investments. just...
