From Blogger to Wordpress

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Comeau) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 23:08:00 +0000

As you may know, BrokerSense.com has been my first foray into the Wordpress world. So far I haven't been disappointed.

Using Wordpress.org has been a lot easier than expected, especially since my host, BlueHost, makes everything pretty easy with one-click installation and all that. I'm also using the Thesis theme which automates a lot of things for me. Obviously, the design is still pretty bare bones, but for now I'm focused on content generation.

Traffic has picked up pretty quickly, and I'm ranking very high for some good keyword combinations. Overally, I'm very happy, and I imagine that I'll eventually move all of my blogs over to Wordpress.

Here are some links to some of my recent work:

Review of Financial Warnings
Thinkorswim vs. Interactive Brokers
OptionsXpress and Motley Fool Launch Options Service

New Page

BrokerSense.com Update

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Comeau) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:07:00 +0000

Hello all, I just wanted to highlight some recent posts I made on BrokerSense.com:

First, I recently wrote a guide to Choosing an Online Broker.

I also analyzed JD Power's Investor Satisfaction Survey, which unfortunately left out some smaller online brokers.

I also wrote a brief editorial about mobile investing applications, which The Broker News Blog criticized.

Finally, I discussed Jim Cramer's upcoming book Getting Back to Even, in which Jim details investment strategies for a post-bubble world. I also heartily recommended Jim's first book, Confessions of a Street Addict.

I'm getting a lot of enjoyment out of writing about the online brokerage industry, and I'm very happy with the initial stream of traffic to the site.

Recent Work

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Comeau) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 14:53:00 +0000

Hello readers (all 8 of you), here's a quick summary of the work I did this week:

On LongShortTrader, I made the following two posts:

Google's Gmail is Down Again

Smart Money Discount Broker Survey - Where's Thinkorswim?

Die AIG Die

3 Reasons I'm Betting Against AIG

And for Minyanville, I wrote the following article

Take-Two Entering New Peak Product Cycle

And just a quick word on Video Game Stocks:

I'm not quite sure where I'm going with this blog, because I'm having a hard time gaining traction in terms of traffic. LongShortTrader is doing a heck of a lot better, with traffic skyrocketing and Google (GOOG) Adsense revenue growing at a nice clip. Now if I could only get that bounce rate down...

I'm planning on launching a new blog at some point within the next few weeks. Will keep you guys posted.

More Updates!

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Comeau) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 22:05:00 +0000

Just wanted to add a couple of updates:

I started the Brooklyn Photography Blog. I'm an avid amateur (VERY amateur) photographer and I'm going to document my favorite place on Earth - Brooklyn, NY.

Also, I posted a definition of deep-in-the-money calls, and a tutorial on after-hours trading with thinkorswim on LongShortTrader.

This Week's Activity

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Comeau) — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 13:06:00 +0000

I just wanted to give a round-up of what I wrote this week:

On Minyanville, I wrote a column discussing the growing trend of brokerage firms banning Leveraged ETFs.

Over on LongShortTrader, I explored TheStreet.com's marketing of Ron Insana's new newsletter. I also made a really dumb sale of my Activision position.

I also got going again on Geithner Watch, discussing Cash for Clunkers and Geithner's request to raise our debt limits.

P.S. I'm starting up the Brooklyn Photography Blog! Yes, I have too many blogs...

Weekend Reading - Activision Going All Out With Modern Warfare -

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Comeau) — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 21:34:00 +0000

If you thought the trend of ever-inflating video-game prices was over, think again. Activision (ATVI) has jacked up the prices for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to an insane level.

Microsoft (MSFT) was pretty aggressive with its three-tiered pricing structure for Halo 3 - going for $59.99, $69.99, and $129.99 versions, but Activision's truly going all out. Read more about Modern Warfare 2 pricing.

On the other hand, Electronic Arts (ERTS)is doing well in the lower-priced category of downloadable, multiplayer games. On Thursday, it announced early sales numbers for Battlefield 1943. Read more about Battlefield 1943.

While the video-game industry media got pretty excited by Battlefield selling 600,000 units in two weeks., I wasn't terribly impressed. After all, it's a $15 game!

Hi folks,

I just wanted to invite anyone who may be reading this blog to check out my latest article on Minyanville:

VideoGameStocks.net is Down, Check Out My Posts on Ron Insana and Lenny Dykstra!

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Comeau) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:05:00 +0000

Just in case anybody is reading this blog, please note that VideoGameStocks.net is currently down due to a problem with Google's (GOOG) Blogger service. Apparently, it's some snafu in forwarding to custom domains.

But if you really want to read my video-game stuff, you can still read the blog at VideoGameStocksNet.blogspot.com.

In the meantime, check out these posts from LongShortTrader.com:

Lenny Dykstra is Bankrupt, something I predicted back in April.

Also, Ron Insana's newsletter at TheStreet.com is using a rather shady method to measure performance - time travel.
