FINVIZ is a website with great tools that do more than just filter out stocks that meet your desired criteria. It features sector and industry scans that narrow down the best performing ones based on a daily, weekly, monthly, three month, and so on timeframes. It too includes heat maps to pick out the top performing stocks, exchange traded funds (ETF's), and stocks outside of the U.S. FINVIZ

Several things are happening around the world as of late. Oil, silver, gold, corn, and other commodities are rising more and more. I personally know the pain because I filled my truck up yesterday. Major Indices: The three are all over the place. Some have made new highs and others not so much. SPX: In my opinion this one looks sickly but still going with the long until I'm wrong. On the

Same story...well sort of. Oil may be back over $100 and silver & gold continue to rise but not much has changed since my last blog post. Yeah I understand it's been over seven weeks, but it's still a similar picture. Not the greatest volume this week Friday; but haven't Fridays been low volume days for a while with most traders are absent? INDU: Back above 12,000 looking good higher. SPX:

Because of the huge amount of snow we had overnight I couldn't get out of my apartment today. You would think this would be a bad thing but because of it I traded from open until about noon EST. Below are the pictures and a recap of my trades. Still swinging several of them overnight. This was taken this morning after I shoveled the way out of the apartment complex. If you enlarge the picture

Nice week-no paper trades all real. It appears when money can be made relatively easy that that is the time the market reverses. :) I wasn't caught in Friday's downturn but it was just a thought I had. Overall good trades. Major Indices: All three portray their own story. The Dow and S&P still have RSI values above 50, while the Nasdaq is under. All three had pullbacks on Friday we will look

Yes I'm still psyched the Packers won. Good stuff. This week I finally sold the remaining BAC call for a big win. It was up further but I wanted to be sure I didn't miss out if it was going to continue higher so I just raised my stop every time it climbed. Other than that the other trades were so-so. The CAT calls I picked up were up much more but I didn't want to tighten the stops up so much.

Welcome to QuickTrades. Still holding one of the three BAC calls I had. Gonna be a big winner this coming week. Otherwise decent trades this week still holding CRIS over the weekend. Major Indices: Very strong RSI values > 70. Watch out at these overbought levels. We may sustain them for a while but they will eventually drop back between 70 and 30. INDU: Great support at these levels. SPX:

Video: Another simple week for me. Not a whole lot going on. The BAC calls turned out to be an awesome swing. Still holding onto one. In the total I took the BAC gain and multiplied it by 2/3 since I only sold two of the three calls. Too bad paper but it's all in learning. Major Indices: Overall the three big players are looking good. RSIs are still greater than 50 and the trend is up.

Great day. Sorry about sound my mic wasn't put down. :) You may have to turn up the volume a little. Video: Recap: 1)Good news propelled BAC higher today.After several weeks I decided to sell two of the three BAC calls I have been holding. Sold BAC Jan 12.5 Call at 1.51 for a gain of 1.13 or 297% gain. (paper) 2)After wanting to pick up X calls for about the last week I finally stepped

Not much coming up on scans. Seeing as though I just finished Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill last night I thought now would be a great time to share. Napoleon Hill is genius. Our minds truly are inflection points with one way leading down the wealthy route and the other poverty. Within Think & Grow Rich, Hill discusses thirteen principles each a different component to developing a

In this post I will combine the typical Saturday information with the Sunday stock watch. There were no trades last week so it will consist of technical analysis on the major indices and stocks for Monday, enjoy. Major Indices: All three have RSI above 50 and in some cases 70. Watch out for the > 70 area though because that can signal an overbought condition. INDU: Low volume last week but

Merry Christmas all. As you celebrate look back at all the things you are thankful for. Those items that may involve people, material, and/or environment forms and sources. I did a little reflecting this morning and came to the conclusion that You don't really appreciate something until it's not there. In other words we have to have scarcity to appreciate abundance.

What a weekend here in Wisconsin! Crazy amounts of snow, blizzard warnings, and very high winds. Overnight the power was out for two and a half hours-brrrr. Oh well, what can you do. I hope the weather is better over where you live. Friday's market looked fairly quiet and volume was light. I know my trading will be light due to finals week at school. Play it as you see it.

Good week all-in-all. As usual lots of paper trades. (denoted with a p after the ticker) More than anything the GOOG weeklies were more of a chance item lotto ticket play. Huge return on it (paper). Other than that my stop was probably too tight on BPOP. I sold the remaining half of my AAPL shares this week after a three week swing. Finally I picked up BAC calls after financials starting
