This morning we took off half of our SPY ETF Call position around S&P 500 level 1080. I am now selling another quarter at level 1090. Again this is a 1 day rental of our cash, so the risk reward of this trade was magnificent.
I will sell the last 1/4th of the position on a move to...

Some great posts this weekend over at "The Big Picture" by Barry Ritholtz; Barry is essentially the "trailblazer" of financial blogging and many a blogger has followed in his footsteps. In my piece this past week on the Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.a) Burlington Northern (BNI) buyout I didn't have...

NFTRH58 was just mailed to subscribers and uploaded to the archive. It was a laborious piece of work that considers the intermediate term from several different angles. It was difficult to write but leaves me with a feeling that I am ultimately honing in on the right track for what is to...

As mentioned this morning, we added back to our Blackstone Group (BX) exposure as the stock jumped back over a key moving average on the back of a solid earnings report. After 7 sessions of purgatory, the stock is in a better position today...

Now that the 2 big news events of the week are out of the way, and thus far the drop below the 50 day moving average looks just like it did in July 2009 - that is, a headfake I'll get back some longs. I am surprised it is just that easy... we had 5 intraday reversals in 9 sessions during this...

Since we broke back north of the 20 day moving average yesterday on the S&P 500 I reluctantly must stash the bear costume and temporarily change course; I used this morning's selloff to cut one of my 2 hedges (I was short the TNA ETF) for about a 5% loss; we had about a 4%...

At first I was going to post this story from the UK Telegraph as an interesting piece... food for thought if you will... with the tag that this tangent has little to do with the financial world we deal with. But upon further reflection, as we've sat posting story upon story for multiple years...

I will say if someone gave me any sort of odds on a V shaped bounce today coming off a late day selloff yesterday that had pushed the S&P 500 to (if you use exponential) or below (if you use simple) the 50 day moving average, I would have taken the opposite side of that wager. I would...

We restarted a position in Myriad Genetics (MYGN) as a long term "growth at good value" play about 6 weeks ago, despite a horrid technical condition on the chart. Since then the stock has just sort of hung around and done nothing, trading in a very tight range. I was hoping this...

Apparently I missed the "going out of business" sale on stocks announced this morning. So we sell off late yesterday (bearish), and today - everyone wants back in.... ahead of an important announcement. Just like they did yesterday morning? What day is it again - this all looks...
