As I finished my last post the Dow started moving up fast and it jumped 150 points in a very short time. I’m not sure why but I decided to get back in the game. I bought 1000 shares of Facebook (FB) with the thought of selling a Call. I got in the stock at […]

Today I added a new page to the “Educational” sectional. The new page is called “Pre-Market Data.” This page explains some of the information I look for before the market opens. When I wake up in the morning I turn my TV on. I go to one of the financial stations and look to see […]

Groundhog Day is an annual holiday in the United States celebrated every February 2. It was officially established in 1887 by the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club who have monitored the event every year since. “Punxsutawney Phil” has been the name of the resident groundhog for the club since its inception, and they jokingly claim there has […]

Today after the close Google will announce their earnings. Google is the last of the FANG stocks and we are nearing the end of earnings season. So far today all FANG stocks (Facebook,Amazon,Netflix & Google) are up in anticipation of a good Google report. If Google hits it out of the park, I think all […]

FANG – Facebook, Amazon, Netflix & Google. It’s been a very tough beginning to a new year. Not only with FANG but the entire market. Earlier this week Netflix came out with good earnings. Yesterday, after the close, Facebook became the new superstar stock with unprecedented earnings. Just now after the close Amazon missed earnings […]

While this rollercoaster of a market continues down the same track the professionals are coming up with more and more reasons why. Read some reports. Listen to CNBC and Bloomberg. You will hear it all. The Fed’s expectations, Oil, China, possible recession, slowing economy, Junk Bond interest rates, EFT’s market manipulation, unemployment, the weather, the […]

I like to post the weekly results on Saturday but this has been a busy weekend. We had a record breaking snow storm here in NYC plus the NFL Playoffs on TV. I got all my shoveling done and the New England/Denver game just ended. Tough game for Brady. It looked like his entire offensive […]

Hi All, It’s been a few days since my last post! This has not been a good time for the market. I believe this is the worst start to a year in the history of the market. Having said that, this is not the reason why I haven’t made a trade in a few days. […]
