The Fly over at ibankcoin has this to say: "All of the stories you’ve ever read about in the journal of men who’ve made fortunes in the market revolve around a singular trend: buying stuff no one else wants for pennies on the dollar, then selling it later on when everyone wants it for absurd...

Interesting that Russia hasn't broken to new lows despite huge volume. I've heard Jim Rogers say that Russia has two huge advantages, convertible currency (unlike India and China and Brazil) and low debt (unlike pretty much everyone). Plus it has the advantage of farmland that hasn't been...

Shame that Yahoo got rid of log charts. Now only stockcharts has log (fniviz has arithmetic). Log charts are the only ones that make sense.

Aren't most of the insider traders caught because of cell phones? There was inside trader ring that used an actual person as go-between, but even that ring was caught when the go-between started trading on the tips.

My impression is that the real problem is getting the shares to short. the shares can be hard to find and expensive to short and you're still exposed to the risk of a squeeze.

Diamonds are worthless if you don't belong to the diamond monopoly. Good luck trying to resell that diamond ring. Hoffman was too stupid to realize that.

Looks like oil might bounce off loooong trend line. The trend line is at $80, so that's the line in the sand. If Saudi Arabia can't drive it lower - and do they really want to? - shale in the US should be safe (overseas might be a different matter). Wouldn't it make sense that the US has been...

Good segment on the Yukon gold rush http://www.cbsnews.com/news/gold-rush-turning-mushroom-hunting-into-gold-in-the-yukon/

I liked this comment on the DC website: "I CANT WAIT FOR NEXT SEASON WHEN TODD GOES TO ANTARTICA AND DIGS FOR PEARLS. DUMBEST MAN ON EARTH"

these stories never get old. It's happened to me so I can relate.

if I remember, she was selling because the stock was going down. she figured that other people knew, so she sold. that was her training as a stock broker kicking in.

One of the colleagues forwarded the e-mail to Cohen’s personal research trader, who forwarded it to Cohen—and then telephoned him. Two minutes after the call, Cohen began liquidating his position in Dell, which was worth ten million dollars. Yet when this trade became a focus in the Steinberg...

SAC Capital is obvious case of using inside info to make money. Get inside info and trade on it. Did Cohen really think nobody would notice? But there have to be other ways to use inside info to make money, especially for insiders. Let's say you're an insider, the CEO or another employee with...

The monthly chart actually looks more interesting. Close over $10 would be bullish. Symmetry dictates it bounce up to $16-$17 on news.

An interesting h&s bottom on Blackberry. Unfortunately too much supply overhead in the teens. Should be more volume. Pass on this one.

Under $14 this was really a no-brainer sell. The July breakout/fakeout was ominous, much prefer charts that haven't already disappointed.

Is this a broken chart? Not until it closes below $90. There is a fakeout in June which then lead to the breakdown, but long term it could be in this range for a very long time. I could see a V-formation right back over $110 in the next couple months.

Some charts that have caught my attention.
