    Alcoa earning prediction -Tuesday

    Alcoa will come up with its earnings today. Many are watching this earning as it is important to see how the economy is doing. My estimates is that AA earnings will be inline with prediction but will trim its next Q earning and will be cautious as we enter 2013. Shares might drop to $8.5 AH. AA...

    Check out this one year chart that compares IWM and SPY. You can see that while IWM was outperforming SPY at some point lost its steam and underperformed SPY.

    Russel 2000 might start to crack because of fiscal cliff

    You are absolutely right. IWM is outperforming SPY and this trend has been on for a while but historically small caps are more volatile than blue chips. When things go bad and market goes under a correction, small cap underperforms because investors dump riskier (small caps) stocks and fly to...

    Russel 2000 might start to crack because of fiscal cliff

    TZA shows some sign of life in the last couple of days. IWM is overbought. Less risky trade is to short IWM and more risky and profitable trade is to buy TZA. TZA can go to $17 in February,

    Consumer semi stocks are ripe to short

    I expect ADI to drop more today. Current price is 42.43 (Time 10:04). It has alreadydropped 0.58%). Lots of room to go down. Can easily go to $39 in a couple of weeks.

    MCD is in trouble !

    Sorry for the late update (not real time). Today (Monday Jan 7th) MCD was a good short when it hit over 90. I shorted weekly 90 Call at 0.8 and also 87.5 PUT for 10 cents. I am protected up to 90.90 and on the downside, down to 86.60.

    an unloved stock with fat yield

    I agree but I believe they are going off tangent by doing that. Most probably Best Buy also sells dumbbells in case you as a customer have problem moving your heavy items. you can do your workout there :)

    initial margin requirement question

    Check your cushion. Don't let it drop below 20%. Below 5% you get a warning and If Your cushion becomes negative, you get liquidated.

    Russel 2000 might start to crack because of fiscal cliff

    You should also give yourself credit but being able to disagree with someone and at the same time not being rude. That is a very rare positive quality.

    Russel 2000 might start to crack because of fiscal cliff

    I post most of my trades online. On ADI, IWM, MCD, YHOO. You can check and see whether I should be hurt or not. I believe we will close 2013 flat or lower. The few percentage gain that we have achieved in the first few days will disappear soon. I have my reasons but too lazy to itemize them here.

    Russel 2000 might start to crack because of fiscal cliff

    I believe shorting IWM at this level (87.13) makes sense. It is way ahead of market. It should drop at least $1 easily soon.

    an unloved stock with fat yield

    Here is my input: I don't think that Staples will be out of business anytime soon but I really don't understand them. I don't understand Best Buy either. I wish I were CEO of Best Buy. I am sure that I could turn around the business in 6 months. The problem is that the CEOs are so disjoint...

    MCD is in trouble !

    If you were making 50K a year, you will pay 1K more in tax at least. This will come out of retails like MCD and not from Nordstrom sales. MCD sales will go down in 2013. Margin will be squeezed.
