All of the political propaganda about stem cell research and accusations that the Bush administration is "anti-science" because of denying federal subsidy to embryonic stem cell research ...

Haven’t blogged in a while, so figured I’d get back in. Currently cautious about the market, especially with regard to energy prices. Looking at the IYT Sept 80 Put since it seems to me transp...

So kind of what I was hoping for. Sounds like a disruption in the Microsoft purchase of Yahoo with Yahoo refusing the offer, saying it's too cheap. I just have no idea what is going to happen to ...

Curious what any of you are doing with your YHOO holdings. I have an equal amount of shares bought in the mid 30's and the mid 20's. Until Friday I was under water and now I'm about at my cost ba...

Got a comment on the last blog about AAPL's high PE and a better high PE stock to own, GOOG. As I said I think AAPL is not a stock to "trade" right now, but to own for the long term. I feel the s...

OK, people.  Enough fear, let's see some greed! Or at least some cautious buying of good equities.  I haven't been around the block enough times to say that I recognize capitulation,...

I've had some technical difficulties at home, so not blogging much.  Tough market lately, but from what I gather most smart finance types think we're up again by the second half.  See thi...

Got a question from a friend about ETrade and other financials and thought I'd post my musings for what they're worth. "I can't help you much on ETrade, but my instinct would be to stay away. T...

Got a "hot tip" on CREE at a party and lo and behold it's up like 12% today, before I can even look at the balance sheet. Put in an order for the Vanguard account at 23, which is where it started ...

Just noticed my entries from November and December have disappeared. A week ago or so I was thinking over hedging out China from my retirement accounts by buying the FXP ultrashort China ETF. N...

Made a good profit on DIA Puts last week, and sold them on a stop loss.  I think I'm going to pick up some DIA Nov 138 Puts again, banking on some downward volatility.  I would say that a...

My only holding right now is DIA Nov 138 Puts which did quite well Friday. Not sure how I'm going to handle it - up over 100% but a lot of risk in the market next week.  Probably a stop loss o...

My QQQQ Jan 08 55 Calls had done fairly well, so I sold out on a stop loss that hit yesterday. Now tech seems to have a light under it with positive earnings from INTC and YHOO.  With YHOO up ...

My DIA Oct 136 calls are floundering and got me thinking.  The  rally after the rate cut on the 18th is the reason I decided to be contrarian.  I figured it was overdone, but I think...
