Happy Thanksgiving; taking a break

noreply@blogger.com (Big J) — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 01:03:00 +0000

Hi all, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. As I also mention, I will be taking a sabbatical from blogging. There are two reasons for this: One, the markets stink and most likely will continue to stink until Europe gets resolved one way or another. This includes sovereign...

Charts, October 24th

noreply@blogger.com (Big J) — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 06:38:00 +0000

Like I mentioned, about a couple of weeks ago I became incredibly bullish but couldn't pinpoint "what" to buy. Now I am seeing some promising stocks taking shape so I've annotated some charts so you can quickly see some examples of what I am seeing. Indexes: Right now the indexes still...

Twisted

noreply@blogger.com (Big J) — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 20:00:00 +0000

Another week, another crash. Raise your hand if you're tired of this...I am too. This week the Fed announced 'Operation Twist' which from the name I am inferring that they want to twist 'something' and I'm not sure its limited only to bond rates. At any rate the reaction has been...

New Bull?

noreply@blogger.com (Big J) — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 04:18:00 +0000

On Monday the market recovered from a nasty early sell-off caused by more European debt issues. The indexes recovered almost all of their losses and even went a tad green, all of which led some people to infer strength in the market and how it was foretelling a new bull phase. While I...

A few more to consider

noreply@blogger.com (Big J) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 06:15:00 +0000

To go along with my post from a few days ago "A few stocks to look at; a few to avoid", I found there were a few more stocks that I wanted to highlight, two positive and one negative. The first stock that I think is interesting now is Hansen Natural (NASDAQ: HANS). In my prior post above,...

A few stocks to look at; a few to avoid

noreply@blogger.com (Big J) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 07:06:00 +0000

This week we have set what seems like a new record in the market: four straight up-days in a row! It seems like months since we've had that kind of move considering how bad the markets have been, and yet it has really only been since August 1st. I'll definitely take it as I'm not...

Still bad

noreply@blogger.com (Big J) — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 04:16:00 +0000

Am back from vacation and spent the Labor Day weekend reviewing charts and other market metrics. My conclusion is that I should have stayed on vacation! The market averages do not look good at all as they display continued volatility and uncertainty. Traders who are adept at handling...

Three trades review

noreply@blogger.com (Big J) — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 18:38:00 +0000

Before the recent market crash I was able to identify and buy three stocks from May thru June, and these three turned out to be very successful and very profitable trades for me. What I want to do is to show how I bought them, how I held them, and most important how I sold them. I do not...

noreply@blogger.com (Big J) — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 05:59:00 +0000

This week all eyes are on the market because everyone wants to see if stocks are going to go down and crash again. Many have said that the economy is in recession already, and while I don't know if this is true I do know that this past week was probably the first shot at pricing this scenario...

Crash!

noreply@blogger.com (Big J) — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 13:31:00 +0000

Yes, our markets have crashed. Again. For the 3rd time in 11 years. Something has to be wrong with our regulators and financial institutions for this to have happened again. Sigh. Monday, August 8th was a horrible session in the market and I am struck by both the amount...

Downgrade daze

noreply@blogger.com (Big J) — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 06:01:00 +0000

Well, it finally happened. The US Government was downgraded from a AAA debtor to a AA debtor. Besides showing the world what a bunch of jackasses our congress is, I'm not really sure of what is going to happen with this and more importantly, what this means for stocks. The real...

Have not had much time to post as I had computer problems the last few days, but over the last week there has been massive Institutional Distribution in the market indexes (selling by big investors) and this is a major warning flag that stocks may drop a lot more than people think. Remember,...
