Stocks Ignore Negative News from the Housing Market

More bad news coming from the housing market as home prices slid 7.5%.  Stocks completely ignored this news and resumed its uptrend.  Ignore the window dressing commentary, it does not make you any money besides how does anyone know what the majority of the market players are doing?  Are they there with them, watching the […]

Are You Missing Out on Gains?

Stocks Consolidate Gains Nicely

Today was a great day for stocks to consolidate recent gains.  Stocks simply can not go up in a straight line, digesting gains is needed.  By now, most should have a strong long bias in their portfolio rather than in cash.  Stocks like BIDU, AAPL, GOOG, JRJC, RRST etc have made moves and should have […]

Stocks rally on greater trade, prove having opinions on the market to be costly
