Wacky Trading today

SPX opened lower on worries over the Europe (like we haven’t heard about it previously), then technicals got in, mainly Oracle’s bad results and pushed the market (SPX) all the way down to 1230.

Is Santa Claus Rally undergo?

As I wrote yesterday, we could break down thru the support or bounce back. The market was oversold and there were no significant negative news to push it lower, however because of Europe, there still was a risk of going lower. It seems like we are bouncing instead. The SPX surged 2% up at opening Continue reading →

Does the market resume its downtrend?

We are technically still in bearish territory. When you look at where SPY (for example) is trading (or you can also take a look at SPX), it is still trading below 200 day MA.

Last week I didn’t have time for updating my web site. There are only two facts: 1) The market was rising again, this time on earnings 2) I am no longer strongly convinced that the market will go down. That means I will stay aside a bit in regards to trading SPY. We may go Continue reading →

Market ends third quarter with heavy losses

Market ends third quarter with heavy losses

As I wrote in my previous post, investors were just buying a pure wishful thinking, hoping for better times, improvement and trying to avoid recession (in their thoughts). Although some data from US came better than expected, they weren’t strong enough to offset bad data from Europe. So watch the European debt crisis, since it Continue reading →

I made $1000 in two days trading options

For the first time in my trading career I can see some success. Yesterday I made $630 and today I added another $400 gain to my account. All in two days. Of course all those trades still can turn into a loss, but I am not expecting it much. And if so and those trades Continue reading →

Stryker Corporation  (SYK)

Stryker Corporation (SYK) is once again on my buy list with a target price at $70 per share. I reviewed the trend of the stock and the only thing which I do not like so far is that the stock was growing in price on drying volume. So I decided to watch this stock for Continue reading →
