Lots of stocks falling through or close to their 200dma or 50dma. My two main stocks, JASO and LDK are hanging by a thread at significant moving averages. A few others I've been watching look to fa...

This is my first blog in quite a while. I'll admit, I sort of dropped off because there was no TradeKing promotion going on anymore, but also I really didn't have anything to blog on. For the first...

General indices are up huge since the end of March. If this is just a dead cat bounce, this is one huge dead cat bounce. Is the Fed bailing out BSC really that big of a deal? All signs point to a r...

Cramer was pretty bold today in outright calling the bottom in the market. I'm sure the Cramer Bandwagoners are going to hop on the wagon tomorrow and buy up stocks. Most of you are probably f...

So I funded my ROTH IRA I created a month ago finally. I have $2500 in right now. I'm looking for some suggestions for a stock or a sector to look into to pick up some shares, with an outlook of de...

Seems like I can always catch the intermediate bottom while going the wrong way. LDK was at around $20 this morning, decided to write $22.50 strike price calls on them. End of day, LDK is now at ab...

Personally, I find it hard for me to trust some newsletter with my money. I can see how it might be worth it if you don't have time to constantly check your stocks, but it just seems way to sketchy...

It's really starting to annoy me, but does anyone else get auto-logged out on the community side after a while? I set my auto-logout for my broker side to a few hours, but it seems like on the comm...

As my portfolio continues to go down, I've been looking into ETFs that short a specific index/commodity/sector, specifically the ProShares shorts. They basically do the inverse of whatever the long...

Well, STP disappointed last week missing expectations. I've been sidelined for the most part since Jan options expired. I've been waiting for a rally on my solar stocks so that I can write calls on...

Suntech Powers releases their earnings tomorrow morning. I'm hoping that they'll provide a positive guidance as that's what really matters these days. Just meeting and even beating EPS really doesn...

Great! Finally get to move onto the next month. Things tend to get dull for me during the week of options expiration. I usually already have my covered calls written before the last week, so there'...

With the upcoming elections and the candidates battling it out in a close race, I've started to look into their views on taxes. For the most part, on the democratic side, they want to let the curre...

Catchy Title eh? Well, at market open tomorrow, JASO should be in the range of $15-16 dollars. Today it was trading in the $40s. A 3:1 stock split is happening on this stock before the market open....

Closed out another 3 calls on JASO for about 50% profit. After starting out the year with a realized loss of about $1,300, I decided to step up my frequency in trading of covered calls. I usually o...
