I’ve had a few people ask for my thoughts on Apple (AAPL) today. As I mentioned in the links section today, I agree with Howrd’s take that it’s over-owned and that there’s too much overhead resistance in the stock. It got a good bounce off of $150 ...

I recently inherited (literally) a stack of trading & technical analysis books, VHS tapes and DVDs. I’ve listed many of them for sale on Amazon at very competitive prices. Take a look and maybe you’ll find a deal on something you’ve been meaning to add to ...

The market is at an interesting juncture right now. The indices look like they’ve had nothing more than an oversold bounce last week. Most of the indices have had big percentage moves off of the lows but have failed to break their downtrends which began in May ...

Earlier today Steve mentioned that he was waiting for a blowoff top in oil before buying DUG and asked if I had similar thoughts. If I did, I certainly wouldn’t use DUG as a way to short oil b/c as I explained the other day DUG ...

Oil bears must be running scared this morning after Saudi Arabia announced an increase in oil production and the price of oil actually rose 3%. (If it’s supposed to go down but it goes up instead that’s some serious trouble for the shorts.) That surge in oil to a ...
