It may seem to some that taking advantage of a crisis and profiting from it would be underhanded or lacking moral integrity, but from a trader's point of view, nothing could be farther from the truth. The desire to make ...
The U.S. Dollar is without a doubt the most hated currency on the planet. The problem is, everyone knows it. Investor sentiment is at an all time low and open interest for the dollar (symbol: UUP, US Dollar ETF) stands ...
It's important to spend a few minutes to talk about the use of "Stated Income" Commercial Loans. There is so much misinformation regarding this type of mortgage program that it just needs to be cleared up once and for all.
First, ...
The "National Association of Realtors" recently released September's numbers. Existing home sales have fallen to their worst levels in 16 years and are seeing the largest decline in property values since 1999. This strikes me as odd. They didn't start ...
It may sound funny that here I am, the self admitted “technical” trader, about to tell you about a “fundamental” indicator for picking consistently, outperforming stocks. If an investor were to only use this one stock selecting tool and nothing else, the returns would be an unbelievable string of winners.
A little bit of math and a small amount of research and the winning trades would blow your mind. But, therein lies the problem. Tell the average investor that there’s a way to consistently beat the markets and you’ve got their full attention… then you tell them there are some simple mathematical calculations and their vision starts to blur and they can’t hearrrrrr you because of the ringing in their ears.
Thanks for the updates. I have been out for awhile, twisted my back reaching for a beer!!! It sucks getting old!!! Been building my positions on UNG and DBA substantially. I can’t say that UNG has me overly confident although I continue to buy more contracts. The price is just too cheap!! DBA just keeps picking up a point here and a point there. I am in for July on both although I am going to buy more for October. My shorts are not working well, numerous contracts on FXY and HOT are both out of the money although I have time (Sept) for them to make up ground. I bought 500 shares of CVI and its moved nicely in two days—thanks! I am long on PCX (patriot coal), July 7.50 calls and short on GS (Goldman Sachs) July 140 puts. Any thoughts? These Treasury auctions are interesting. I appreciate your insight on them because the bond market can leave me a little confused. When do you think the pending inflation will begin? In 2009 or next year? 
It’s a little funny watching market commentators and stock analysts on CNBC and the likes. It’s like making lemonade out of lemons as these silver lining experts look for reasons that the market will continue this breathtaking run. We’re already starting to see reality come back into play.
