The last few years have been great to me, as i was able to clobber the S&P500 many times in returns. But of course, you can't make a living trading the markets if you don't make great great returns. I'll try to give my readers trades that i think will make them money. However, you need to have money management skills, in order not to lose everything on a greedy or stupid trade. I may or may not already be in the trades i recommend. I may or may not trade the stocks i recommend. Due diligence is required on your part and the usual disclaimer that i am not responsible for your losses always apply. I have no affiliations with any broker/dealer and all posts are for educational purposes only. Remember to 'refresh' the home page and the "Comments" pages frequently in order to receive updated posts. Let's rock!

With yesterday's afternoon carnage, i don't have any new recommendations.

I do own june QQQQ puts.

Shocking that JSDA already gave alway all the gains from yesterday. However, i still own a long position.

"Sell in May and go away" is the prudent thing to do.

my goodness, those of you who were paying attention to the markets yesterday, you need to wear the dunce cap if you didn't sell JSDA when everything turned south.

For some reason, I still believe we may not have a crash. Even if we have a crash, I will use that as a buying opportunity. I am keeping an eye on the Russell index, which has stalled recently.
I am not going into speculative stocks like DNDN or even JSDA (not speculative but risky).
I will continue to buy on dips, high quality names in Brokerages, exchanges, casinos and few ADRs and sell on rallies.

hey folks,

the next time i seem to be nowhere to be found is because (1) i'm out of town, (2) i'm taking a day off to run errands just because i feel like it, or (3) my network connection is down. Often times, it's an internet connection issue that causes me to be absent.

Trading is what i love to do, so don't expect me to quit anytime soon.

by the way, JSDA earnings is this Thursday. Cramer smacking the stock yesterday in front of earnings could mean that he is seeing downside to the report.

Very low risk buy on JSDA right now (22.50ish). It just bounced EXACTLY off it's 50% fib line as I had mentioned last Friday it likely would.

Put your stop at about 22.25, and you've got a low risk proposition here.

JMHO, of course.

AKAM getting spankoed again today... good to go to about $40 at this point. I added to shorts this morning on the break of the 50% fib line.

Another good one is MWP for shorts... (59.50 ish) good til next fib at 54.50.

Sorry Alok, I didn't see your post, because I rushed on with the JSDA call.

Re JSDA, as we used to say in south Texas, it is being taken to the woodshed, kinda like the late old Slim Pickins ridin' the nuke down in Dr. Strangelove. Btw, I own several thousand shares of BRLC at 7.45. I have fought with this stock for months, and for some reason it has not, to date, received the respect it deserves, imho. Last I looked, it had something like a 12-14 pps projection, but the short sellers don't seem to be leaving the front door quite yet. Owyheetrader

Owwee--

My chart drawing put the JSDA 50% fib at $22.29, but I could be off a few cents either way. Got through that today but still seemed to bounce pretty well.

I have not dealt w. the "spirals" but I am assuming there's some coherent trading relation there as well. I've only seen the spirals in a mathematical context, though.

Gosu and Harper, I think you guys have nailed the intermediate and long term trend, but i think in the short term we are going to get a slight pullback and good buying opportunities. infact i think we are in the midst of it. right now 80-85% of the stocks in my watchlist are negative - granted most of them are very volatile.

to get an idea just make a list of all the stocks mentioned on this blog today and see how many are postive and how many are negative. i am amazed that the dow is up 60 points.
