Stock Market Analysis – 11-13-2009
on Nov 14, 2009 in Broader Market Are we going back to this again?  “I think there are no fundamentals holding up the market, but I’ll keep waiting for it to actually fall through.”  Once again, the market tested the trend line at the bottom and stood its ground. ...

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) – 11-13-2009
on Nov 14, 2009 in Bullish Value JNJ Everybody’s heard of Johnson & Johnson, although they probably make a whole lot of things that you don’t know about.  It’s a pretty slow and boring stock, but in some cases that’s what you’re looking for.  There was a false br...

Stock Market Analysis – 11-09-2009
on Nov 10, 2009 in Broader Market After obliterating $1075 we turn our eyes towards $1100.  Weak volume suggests the market won’t be able to follow through, but I wouldn’t have expected such a large gain today either.  Tomorrow should be interesting again.

Stock Market Analysis – 11-06-2009
on Nov 9, 2009 in Broader Market You can see a head and shoulders pattern starting to form, but as you should know, this much of the pattern forms every time you have a new wave during an uptrend.  If the market reverses at $1075 we’ll have another significant point, but unless i...

on Nov 2, 2009 in Broader Market Lately I’ve been trying to get into real estate, and thus neglecting my stocks.  With my stock trading mostly automated now, all that’s left is some minor position trade maintenance in my 401k that doesn’t give nearly enough excitement.

Stock Market Analysis – 10-21-2009
on Oct 22, 2009 in Broader Market $1100 on the S&P 500 seems to be a wall right now.  A lot of big earnings reports have come out already, and they seem to be pretty good so far.  The interesting thing to note is how those earnings are surfacing though, with most gains...

Stock Market Analysis – 10-12-2009
on Oct 13, 2009 in Broader Market Generally positive earnings reports had boosted the market from the local bottom to test new highs again.  Once there though, the bottom fell out and now it’s hard to tell whether the reduced holiday volume aided or abetted the late plummet.&#...

Harbin Electric (HRBN) – 10-06-2009
on Oct 7, 2009 in Bearish Bullish Growth Swing Trades HRBN I remember looking at HRBN a couple years ago when it was around $20.  Since then it hit $28, dropped down to $4.25, and bounced back to almost $20 again.  A nice little breakout today bumps this one back up towards the top of my watchlist.

Stock Market Analysis – 10-06-2009
on Oct 7, 2009 in Broader Market There’s still a downward channel forming after 2 strong days.  Tomorrow will determine whether or not the slide breaks or continues.  Playing the positive bounces may have worked out up to now, but it’s probably prudent to let the next...
