  • NASDAQ Composite Index Chart – November 6, 2009

    Posted on Saturday November 7th, 2009 at 07:08 in finance, stock charts, indices, $comp

    I charted the NASDAQ Composite Index ($COMP) after the markets closed on Friday, November 6, 2009 when it finished the day at 2,112.44. The tech heavy index is starting to show some strength again after coming down off its highs of the year.  The ...

  • Sold UCO December 13 Naked Puts

    Posted on Wednesday November 4th, 2009 at 13:19 in finance, stock picks, uco

    Yesterday I missed a better opportunity to get back into UCO (an ETF that tries to match twice the daily performance of the Dow Jones UBS Crude Oil Sub-Index).  Little did I know a nice mini-rally was coming for oil starting just a few minutes aft...

  • End of the Month Summary – October 2009

    Posted on Monday November 2nd, 2009 at 06:15 in finance, account summary

    In my September Summary I started off by saying I was certain of a coming step back for the markets, yet within a few weeks I added greater exposure in my account than I’ve had in many months.  (Apparently I wasn’t reading my own analy...

  • S&P 500 Chart – Is the Dream Over?

    Posted on Friday October 30th, 2009 at 17:53 in finance, stock charts, indices, $spx

    I charted the S&P500 ($SPX) after the markets closed on Friday, October 30, 2009 when the SPX finished the month at 1,036.19. Depending on the line you draw, it could be that the rally (aka ”Dream” according to some) has ended wit...

    Posted on Wednesday October 28th, 2009 at 14:35 in finance, account summary

    As of around 2:45 pm I was down close to 1.7%, a little more than the S&P 500.  The good news is that we’re very close to the first key level of technical support I pointed to on my weekend Dow Jones chart a few days ago.  I also posted...

  • Sold QLD November 50 Naked Puts

    Posted on Monday October 26th, 2009 at 14:07 in finance, stock picks

    It’s funny how things work sometimes.  A few days ago when I sold new EEM naked puts I commented that I was eyeing QLD naked puts too, but decided not to chase the 2x QQQQ ETF.  I thought it better to leave my limit order in and see if QLD...

Terrific site. Chock full of those things my mind refuses to comprehend. It's a girl thing. I start to read and my eyes glaze over and I become intellectually blinded. But for those of you that deal in growing your money, I highly recommend this site. Please visit me sometime. Cheers!
