Lets assume that I have two friends (I know it's a stretch, but this is only for the sake of example) and recently went through a very hard time in my life. The dog and wife left me, I lost all my money, my business is going to the gutter, you know all the stuff that they sing about in a country...

For the last several months every time the market was down a bunch the pundits have come out and told you this was capitulation, BUY BUY BUY. Every time the market was down they would say this is the follow through, the momentum boys are back, BUY BUY BUY BUY. Meanwhile after every time they...

Over the last few months I have not been posting very actively, and when I have been active I have been screaming from the top of my soap box to be careful and preserve capital. I feel that we are at the starting line of a real bear market, one that will be ugly and cost a lot of people their...

I'm thinking that we are going to be getting a bear bounce here in the market. Bear bounces can be very sharp. Because I do think we are in a bear market I am not going to commit heavily to it, but I am going to be putting a bit of capital to work buying some beaten down stocks that have put in...

No. I take 12mg of hydromorphone (essentially heroin) four times per day for pain. If I did not have the hydromorphone I would be on welfare. Such as it is I am on track to make low seven figures this year. Your body adjusts to the opiats and you function just fine after a week or two. Brandon

Pablo Escobar also made more money in his lifetime than I will probably make in mine. He also held on to most of it till the end, and he gave to the poor etc etc. Should I respect him or the fact that he made a lot of money? I hope your reply is no. Livermore made his money trading stocks in...

Over the last three or four years a bubble has been building that rivals the dot com madness of the late 1990's. This bubble has been off in the corner out of view to most people. This bubble has now grown to epic levels and I think that the guy with the needle is closing in on it. That bubble I...

Maybe still an uptrend, but simply being in an uptrend, to me, hardly qualifies as a reason to buy something. I have only been profitable for 9 years out of 11 that I have traded, so I am still learning (I'm not saying this faciciously (sp?), I mean it) and I can be wrong just like the next guy...

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so here is a picture, lets see how many we can get. I can think of a couple, mostly look out below. I have been saying for some time that we are in a bear market and people have thought I was nuts but the market is certainly trading in a very...

Mike - That is generally an excellent observation and in my opinion the correct way to trade. I have made myself quiet comfortable financially buying relative strength. However, in a bear market (which I think we are now in) buying relative strength can be a disaster. Just as an example look...

I suspect that things are a lot worse than anyone expects and that rates will continue to rise while we have inflation across the board and a hard landing in the housing market. Its nice that the housing bubble is only in "small geographic area's" but when those small geographic areas have 2/3...

Is it just me, or is this not the worse season ever of the Soprano's? It started off with a great first episode, and since then its been all over the place and stupid in most of the places its been. After waiting several years for this new season I have been really disapointed and don't even...

No, I dont trade after hours. If I wanted to run a P&D or some such thing I still have an email list with over 7000 people on it, it would probably be more effective than ET.

Since the beginning of April the Nasdaq has been trading in a manner suggesting it has been in its own private bear market, making lower lows and lower highs, declining on heavy volume and rallying on light volume. The leading stocks in the Nasdaq have looked like the backside of a heard of...

I am currently in cash in my equity accounts, however as I look at the market there are some themes starting to play out, so I will be stepping up and picking up some shares. The market is, in my opinion, going to remain rather difficult, so I would encourage you to play wtih caution. It's ok to...

Thx. I had 107 potential longs..6 have setup. I have not really done anything. 84% cash, 16% invested..yawn. Brandon
