September 29, 2006 – Last week the Dow Jones MarketWatch reported that Bin Laden was seriously ill or even might be dead according to French intelligence reports.

September 28, 2006 – Historically, August and September are very weak months in the stock market and rallies start in October into November and December. Then January has always been a very strong month performance wise as investors buy back shares they sold off in December for tax reasons. Right now, the U.S. markets are [...]

September 27, 2006 – The September 9th “Economist” magazine discussed the trials and tribulations of Jamie Olis, a former senior level tax planner at Dynergy, who was sentenced to 24 years in prison for, according to a Houston judge, contributing to the destruction of $100 million of Dynergy market capitalization. Olis caused this destruction, the [...]

September 27, 2006 – Looking at the DJIA and S&P500 charts today, they merit serious caution. Check out the doubletop formations on both. On average doubletop formations are met with a 15% retracing of gains from the line that connects the doubletops. I should preface this blog by saying that I by no means am [...]

September 26, 2006 – As I looked at some of the daily trading volumes of some U.S. stocks this past week that have hit 52-week highs, I noticed an unusually large daily buying volume this week, some with volumes so exaggerrated that it is safe to assume that institutional buying is responsible for the lion’s [...]

September 26, 2006 – As I sit here this morning and watch the markets rise in the first two hours of trading, I must admit that although all this “feel-good” economic news, low inflation, high consumer confidence and low gas prices have been artificially manufactured by the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and various Bush [...]

Q: What Does a Review of Your Short-Term Trade Look Like So Far? Today, I’m going to review a previous blog on September 14th that I titled “A Short Term Trade”, something “We Never Provide Information About”. In that blog, I wrote that I felt that the NYSE and the S&P 500 were due for [...]

September 23, 2006 – The world of global politics is like Alice in Wonderland, a great landscape of fabrication where it seems like more people are accepting of strange, wild fantasies rather than desiring to dig down the rabbit hole to discover the truth. Back in November, 2004, U.S. Senator Richard Lugar pointed to statistically [...]

September 21, 2006 – Today I am just going to blog about a non-investment topic. When a coup happens in the country you’re in, I think I’m entitled to digress some. Furthermore, I’d like to set the record straight about the coup here as well. Several of my friends who were planning to travel here [...]

September 19, 2006 – Thailand has one of the cheapest stock markets in all of Asia, and it’s about to get even cheaper. Currently I’m in Bangkok and yesterday, after weeks of verbal grenades and strategic maneuvering that pitted the Thai Prime Minister against the Thai military, factions opposed to Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra staged [...]

September 18, 2006 – There is a coming revolution in science that will produce many millionaires among the early investors in this industry. There is no doubt in my mind of this. And this industry is being ignored due to everyone’s preocupation with commodities right now. This industry is nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the engineering of [...]

September 17, 2006 – Sometimes, I’ll scan financial news on Reuters, Bloomberg, MSNBC and so on, not for information to make investment decisions, but just for ideas to write another blog entry. Occasionally I’ll find something to comment on. By now, most of you know that I find most financial news in major media to [...]

September 16, 2006 – Everywhere in the media, you have pundits saying that the commodities Bull Run is over – including even chief global economists of major investment firms like Steven Roach of Morgan Stanley.
