Your boy Cubes (as the guys on PTI would say) just wrote a little dissertation about short selling on his blog. The post is mainly about naked shorting but also has comments about just plain old, legal, shorting as well. I basically agree with everything Cuban has to say. Here are some [...]
It may not seem (feel) like it but the S&P 500 actually made a new closing high for the calendar year and it just a couple of points away from its 2004 high. So while the Nasdaq is still 5% off of its 2005 high there is a lot of money being put to [...]
I just got a request for a chart of the ever-popular Google. Earlier this month I said I’d look for a long entry unless it closed under $200, which it did 3 days later. I’m decidedly neutral on GOOG right now as it sits in the middle of its 4-month range. The one [...]
eBay is about to come out of an ascending triangle that it’s been forming for about 5 weeks. I guess one could just play the break, long or short, depending on which way it breaks but personally I wouldn’t want to be long eBay as long as it’s under its 50 and 200-day moving [...]
This is a stock that shook me out a couple of times last year. One of those stocks that I just knew was going higher but I couldn’t ever hold on to it. I’m glad that somebody nailed it though. Com sent the following request for a chart of NVDA:
I’ve been long [...]
It was a really choppy day yesterday until 2:00 when the market moved decisively higher. The Dow and S&P have almost recouped all of Tuesday’s losses and are back above their 50-day moving averages. Similarly, the BKX is back above its 200-day moving average. All of the indices are flashing stochastic buy [...]
How strange that just after posting that I don’t see Apple as a short I read an article laying out the bear case. Ken Kurson wrote the article, entitled “iPod, iTunes, iSell: Time to Short the One You Love”, for the March 2005 issue of Esquire Magazine (The article doesn’t appear to be online [...]
David wanted to know if I agreed with him about Apple looking like a short. My answer is an emphatic ‘no’. I don’t see any signs of AAPL rolling over in the chart right now. I posting a weekly chart to give a longer term view. The bears have been screaming [...]
The meme about the WSJ and its policy of charging for online content continues with this article by Wired — Whither The Wall Street Journal? Some key points from the article (emphasis is mine):
Because the Journal sells more ads than it can possibly run, Dow Jones, the Journal’s master, plunked down half-a-billion dollars in [...]
The internet search-related stocks are having a tough morning due to downgrades of Yahoo! and Google and FWHT’s earnings. I would probably try to short GRU today if I could find any shares to borrow.
The Dow and S&P were able to climb back above their 50-day moving averages yesterday but it looks like [...]
