April 15, 2010 – 7:51 pm

Since bouncing off from January’s pullback, this rally has run for more than 2 months straight, from early February until now.  Even as commodity sectors saw profit-taking, the broader market managed to close in the green today.  Techs stayed strong with INTC adding another +2.98%.  Financials also saw gainers here and there.  Perhaps investors were [...]

Profitting On Both Sides, Again! BIDU, TSL, FSLR, INTC, POT, CF, AGU, TRA

January 14, 2010 – 9:22 pm

Even though the market indices ended higher today, the individual sectors produced mixed results.  We saw pockets of strength here and there, but, also some weak areas.  Miners were mostly weak, perhaps still lingering on AA’s earnings report.  Solar stocks were up in the morning, but, did a big reversal in the afternoon when news [...]
