First trading day on the new site, and we’ve got bagger (+100%) trades to show. The market was strong most of the day. The Dow slipped into the red briefly in the afternoon, but, was able to come right back to close in the green. Techs led the market again, and the commodity-related […]
It was another volatile day on the market. The market started out the day well on the news of Dow Chemicals (DOW) buying competitor Rohm and Haas Co. (ROH) for $15 billion in cash, a 74% premium of ROH’s closing price yesterday. The market spent most of the day in the positive territory, […]

The market opened lower this morning with disappointing new home sales data. But, the market climbed higher all day to close at the day’s high! This weekend, I said in my weekly Market Forecast,
“For the new week, I think Monday is going to be very important. The market needs to close above […]

What a wild day! The market was down “HUGE”, with the Nasdaq down almost 90 points at one point (AAPL was down almost $30, trading at $126; and GOOG was down over $65, trading under $520.)! This weekend, in my weekly Market Forecast, I said,
“For the new week, the market could look […]

Another very good day! The market traded sideways to up, venting (after yesterday’s big jump) without losing altitude. This is very encouraging. Again, as I said in my Market Forecast this weekend, “For the new week, I think the market is in a good position to continue higher into the earnings. I […]

It was a “cautious” day for most. The techs, however, were a bit weaker than the broader market. The Dow slid 39.10 points. SPX gave up just 7.60 points. But, Nasdaq went down 20.52.
Here’s how the market closed:
INX2 (Internets) continued to be strong. But, both SOX (semiconductors) and BTK (biotechs) […]
Yesterday, I said, “…we’ll need to see a follow-through on this relief rally tomorrow to establish a bottem.” And, today, the market did just that!
The Dow closed another +101 points higher; SPX +6.39; and, Nasdaq gained +22.82! Recently, it always makes me “happy” to see XLF green! The financials really need to […]
This is a post to demonstrate the kind of individual analyses to be seen only on the “private membership” site!
AMAT
AMAT broke above the resistance at 21.75 to close at 22.02 today and made a new all-time high of 22.12. This is a bullish move and could send AMAT higher before its earnings on 8/14.
We […]
