Scoop up a few thousand more nickels like that and you might make some money.

A drawdown is what happens when the market doesn't agree with your strategy. A 60% loss is what happens when you don't follow your strategy.

You can buy shares in Dan Loeb's hedge fund either through the LSE (TPOU) or through the pink sheets (TPNTF). It's now trading at 16% off nav . . . not bad for a guy who should return 15%+ for the next few years. There's no reason for this to trade at a discount...

He probably wasn't begging for cash. Homeless trader dies with $4 million

Short some MagicJack.

The autotrading has been in a choppy market. No Reason to think it will continue, if that's the market it's suited for.

There are tax advantages to a mortgage, like the MID. I'm not saying this is the greatest idea, and buying a zero when interest rates are pretty close to zero is not the best idea. Just trying to figure out how you would do it if you were fanatically committed to paying as little in taxes and...

The zdaq closed above an important moving average . . . lots of the leaders (CRM, CMG, nflx) closed at new highs . . . Lotsa reasons to be bullish.

Embedded in most mortgages is the option to refinance in case rates decline. Most borrowers don't realize that they're paying for this option, and that the mortgage would be substantially cheaper (potentially) without this option. I remember reading Bill Gross a few years ago saying that Pimco...

Don't worry, this is going to $45 on a rocket. George Soros said so.

Looking closer at the chart, it's not clear why the VLE opens relatively higher on some days and not on others. But the pattern holds, when the *ratio* gaps higher or lower, go the other way.

Should read "when the ratio is above 2.225.

http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$VLE:$SPX&p=D&b=5&g=0&id=p15802075640 Look at that crazy chart of the Value Line Index: SPY . . . It looks like what's happening is that, when the market opens lower, the Value Line stocks are hit the most (as the momentum stocks), but bounce back by the end...

Well price is determined by supply and demand. The supply includes a seller of 6 billion shares who is relatively price insensitive. I wouldn't want to front run a seller who cares more about speed than price. If the USG agreed to sell everything at once at $3.33, then there would be a green...

The USG has to sell another 6 billion shares -- I wouldn't be so sure that C is going anywhere until those are sold. How long you going to wait? It's gonna take more than 6 months.

That data is circa 2009. And six months later, they don't look so bright.
