If you read this blog or listen to my podcast on a regular basis, you know that I don’t consider myself a technician.

Welcome to 2012, folks! Before the holiday I broke down what I believe will be the three keys for investors to watch going into the new year. As you know, I’m a glass-half-full kind of guy, so on this first trading day of the year I wanted to go through three sectors that I think [...]

I probably don’t need to remind you that I think Mr. Geithner is a little long in the tooth as far as that position is concerned, but he said something very important that I wanted to make sure you all caught: there is no [...]

Folks, pardon the pun, but gold is melting again. And when I say gold, I mean the front-month futures contract, not ETFs—real gold, not a worthless piece of paper. If you’re still trading commodities ETFs, I implore you to get rid of the garbage and look into the inherent advantages of the futures market. Elliott [...]

Folks, as I was watching overnight movement between 2am and 4am Chicago time—yes, I wake up throughout the night to check the markets—it looked like we might be in for an Armageddon-type day thanks to the situation over in Europe. “Contagion” was the buzzword of the morning, and fear and panic were setting in.
