The other day I noticed the TheStreet.com has published some of Gary B. Smith’s articles on the free section of their site. I may have to start visiting the site again on a regular basis. Here are several of the articles that I found interesting.
Getting From There to Here, Reprise - Gary talks [...]
A group of Morgan Stanley analysts, led by the esteemed Mary Meeker, have released a report on the impact of ‘next generation content’ (PDF) . The report is focused on RSS, and more specifically how Morgan feels that Yahoo, since their implementation of RSS on ‘My Yahoo’, is headed towards becoming a sort of [...]
The Nasdaq bumped up against its downtrend line yesterday and fell back. It’s really starting to look like it’ll be do-or-die next week (post-election). I can’t wait for that to be out of the way (please let there not be any recounts & whatnot) so I can get back to swing trading.

In the comments of my last post Duru made the excellent observation that the Nasdaq stopped just shy of its almost year-long downtrend line. I was so focused on that little triangle that I didn’t even notice it. The S&P and Dow are also still within their downtrend channels. So maybe my [...]
So much for my little theory about the Nasdaq staying in that triangle/coil I pointed out this morning. The market put in an impressive gain today on strong volume. The Naz even closed above the oh-so-important 200-day moving average. The S&P traversed its 50 and 200 DMAs today. It looks like [...]

Although I’m not doing any swing trades right now I have been keeping an eye out for stocks that I might want to trade after the election. So far the picking are very slim. The market seems to be going to sleep — which isn’t really surprising given the upcoming election. Hopefully [...]
Cap’n Arbyte wrote an interesting article entitled ‘The Productivity of Stock Trading‘ which does a great job of explaining what traders ‘produce/create’ and how they contribute to the economy. If any of you traders have been feeling like slackers you should read that article. (Link via this week’s Carnival of the Capitalists)
It was certainly a bad day for the bulls oh Friday, but the level of angst I saw and heard on Friday surprised me. For all the complaining people are doing, the market really hasn’t moved very much over the calendar year and especially not over the last 12 months. I guess the [...]
I remain very disinterested in the market right now. That’s because of all of the earnings reports to be released next week as well as the election. For months now I’ve been having flashbacks to the last election debacle because of how close the polls have been. That messy process put the [...]
