First, I want to let you know that I'm pleased how popular the "live chat" feature is, but rest assured, if someone claims to be me, it isn't. I don't have time to shave (or, usually, even get dressed) in my life. God knows I don't have time to hang out in chat. So if someone's there claiming to be me, it isn't. Promise. (Or if it really is me, you will be dazzled at my virtually impossible typ...
I was lightly long going into this morning where I flipped that position and added to it at the close. I’m short the SPX only. I’m looking for a nasty day tomorrow where maybe we see an intraday reversal. Maybe not. I sold TZA waaaay to early but still managed 7%. I actually had TZA down at 90, but stopped myself out on panic early in the day. Tags: spx, tza

In early trade, AEM and ABX, my two gold watch list stocks rose to the top of the % gainers list on a weaker dollar. I was waiting for AEM to retrace or form some NRIBs at the base of resistance (blue line). The dollar ended up being a fade and gold pulled back in. However, I noticed that AEM was halted pending news. Briefing.com reported that AEM announced a $252 mln private placement; or 8 ml...
This is certainly the season for the bears. They were able to break the 2008 lows on the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Russell 2000. The Dow has somehow managed to hold above its October intraday low and I’m sure everybody will be watching that level in the coming days. That Dow low holding seems to be the last hope for the bulls in the short term — and that would be nothing but hope. Th...
