Wednesday AIG broke about an important resistance level of 36. If for some reason you have been trapped under a rock for the past two months you might have missed that most things breaking out head for higher ground.

Don’t Let An “Idea” End Your Trading Career
In today’s AM Meeting I mentioned that AMZN has been unusually weak the past couple of days. If it got below 130.50 I thought there would be a lot of momentum longs who would panic and the stock would drop to 128. That trade never materialized. The first move in AMZN was up. The second move in AMZN was up. … Read More
OPENING DAY
Tomorrow is Opening Day! All the statistics from last year are thrown out and we start anew. Spring has arrived with its warmer weather, flowers blossoming and sunlight extended. All those fans of non playoff teams gain a great gift- hope. No matter that the Tampa Rays failed to make the playoffs in 2009 as most predicted- this could be … Read More

The Importance Of Not Relinquishing Gains
This morning I came in long a small overnight position in QCOM. Chop Spencer! But based on several factors I was looking for another sizable up leg. I bought additional shares right on the Open when a seller at 42.50 was lifted. QCOM quickly traded up another point. I took my profits when the buying pattern changed in the 43.70s. … Read More
