  • Intel's New Architecture Challenges AMD's Graphics Lead [View article]
    I'm planning a short on AMD. It had a nice run, but it's over.

  • Hewlett-Packard Does Not Impress Me At All [View article]
    Forget PC weakness, HP's venture into SDNs (software-defined networking) is the new catalyst for the stock. The stock more than doubled from $11.35 after the company announced that it joins software-defined networking fray with new controller, switches. http://zd.net/10xvDkn

    Any weakness is a "Buying Opportunity," in HP's stock. I'm long at $12 and like to add more in dips. Cheers!

  • Apple Is Falling: Why You Shouldn't Buy The Stock In A Hurry [View article]
    Dear SidSilver, I sold my longs @690 and @702. Currently, I've no positions in AAPL. I'm waiting for 640... you're right, if 640 happens, pounce... if 640 breaks after that SELL IMMEDIATELY. 500 may be just in the cards then.

    If it hits $710 without much consolidation... (I'm looking for at least a three to five week consolidation since the latest top creation) I won't buy... the risk being it may drop like a rock from there... that's the general rule given VIX is hovering around a level where bears (including myself) are smelling blood to short everything... QE or no QE.

    If the stock rises above 710 after the consolidation I'm looking for... the next stop is in the 770 - 785 range... not 1000 straight away!

    To me the first important level was $675, which AAPL failed to cross even today so far when DOW is up nearly 100 points. This is signaling the stock is currently undergoing a distribution phase.

    Bottom-line: CAUTION - bump ahead!

  • HAMR Will Make Seagate One Of The Best Tech Plays With Significant Upside [View article]
    Chanos is short, that's great news. I've added some more STX today. Chanos will cover to send STX at $45 in the short-term. I love short sellers. Thanks Chanos!

    PCs and laptops aren't mobile substitutes, that's a myth created by the street. PCs will make a comeback with touch-enabled Windows 8 later this year.

  • Gold, A Seismic Move Is Coming - Part II: Why Gold Prices Look Ready To Skyrocket [View article]
    A seismic move is definitely coming... I've no doubt that the next big move on the upside will take gold beyond $2,000! But that may not happen immediately... maybe we've to wait another 12 to 18 months, when the bull phase in stocks will be over. Until then it's a traders' play. And for long term investors, it's time to accumulate on every dip.

    nobodyspecial2u,

    You've gotten furious... did I hurt you?

    You've some great info here and spent a lot of time to write this piece... but only to prove me outclass? That's not done my friend.

    I generally don't appear in the comments section, to avoid unnecessary clashes with friends. I prefer to share my views through my articles only.

    I would advise you to share your view in the form of an article. That will worth your time and effort... right? In that way you can reach out to tens of thousands of people.

    Analyses are always based on assumptions that are forward-looking. There is always a risk of things being different in reality... that's the beauty of stock market. That's the beauty of adventure... you never know with certainty what's coming. But if your analysis comes true... you not only make money, you earn an achievement for yourself, right?

    I have noticed your energy... please don't waste it like this. Hope you will write an article soon. Wish you good luck!

    Thanks Justin! I agree, in graphics AMD consistently outperformed Intel so far, but believe me, with Haswell things are going to change.

  • Apple Ready To Bounce Back On New Growth Driver [View article]
    Yes I still believe so. In fact I've added some more long positions today @ $457. My average price has come down to $472. The stock is making a double bottom and it's climax. It will skyrocket from here. Cheers!

  • Apple $1000: Why It's Time To Buy [View article]
    "History has repeatedly taught us that the best time to buy Apple is when the bearish sentiment in the stock has reached the pinnacle of extreme pessimism." -- Well, how do you measure bearish sentiment? At $550 are people more bearish than they were at $630, when you gave this buy call? Maybe you're talking about number of people who are bearish. Then again, how to measure that... I've no idea. That's why I depend on Technical Analysis. http://seekingalpha.co...
