Thursday, November 15, 2007. Is it time to make money at the expense of the "War Profiteers"? As the calls for ending the war become louder, I can't help but think what the consequences could be for some of America's largest Defense contractors. As much as I don't want to see any potential cutbacks in Defense spending put our troops at a disadvantage, it seems abundantly clear some big cutbacks are on the horizon and the indexes that track this sector are sure to go lower. Some components of this group h...

Tuesday, January 6, 2009. Timing of the January Effect. History has taught us that the first week of January many times can give us an indication of how the market will perform for the year. This is known as the January Effect. Another healthy sign is that the Dow broke through the 50 Day Moving Average from the November low and this is a level we have not seen for the last several months. We are at key 30 day resistance level and today’s market action at one point gave up half the prior day’...What I be...

Monday, May 10, 2010. Wall Street Cyber Terror Attack? In all my years in this business, never have I witnessed what took place last week and it begs the question, What really happened? Were we attacked through the various electronic exchanges that exist today? I also have to be skeptical about the dismissal this week by homeland security officials about this possibility. I mean if it were true, do you really think they would admit this? All the signs are there in terms of the label "targeted attack".

Friday, June 8, 2007. Oil reaches a boiling point. Market players should pay close attention to oil prices over the next several weeks as the recent run-up could be forecasting a difficult summer and hurricane season. However, short term traders may see opportunities on the short side assuming that seasonal conditions end up being mild. Last year the financial markets were able to absorb high prices at the gas pump, but this year could be different. OIH July 165 Puts at $5.20 Needs to fall by at leas...

Monday, October 15, 2007. Fox launches business channel, CNBC and Bloomberg brace for impact. Its early this Monday morning and the new Fox business channel officially began airing at 4:00am.
