  • In the hope of false recovery by Gold Digger
    Financial markets are purely dominated by speculators these days with most traders slush with free or almost free money.

  • Watchlist Additions by Brian Kyser
    I must admit I derive a certain amount of amusement when the market is down for a day or two and everyone is out proclaiming the end of the bull rally and that "it's time to short!" We've been discussing possible resistance, as well as topping patterns here for the past several weeks,... More »

  • The Poor mans Flash Quote: (GS), (AAPL), (CSCO), (QLD) by Thomas Kee
    Investors are quickly realizing how double weighted ETFs like DDM, DXD, QLD, QID, SSO, and SDS diverge from the Market over time.  They are usually good at following the market proportionally throughout a single trading day, but because they reset every day, they also diverge over... More »

  • Market analysis for Wednesday: (QQQQ), (SPY), (DIA) by Thomas Kee
    Our combined analysis for Wednesday tells us that the Market has a high probability of increasing aggressively if initial support levels remain in tact.  The initial channel, between initial support and initial resistance, is tight for both the S&P and the NASDAQ.  That tells us... More »

  • Long and Shot Leveraged ETF's: A Decay Theory by Marco Hickey
    As posted on my blog July 11, 2009, after reading a lot of blog posts and comments, tweets on twitter, Facebook comments, and emails, I decided it was time to figure out if there was any real decay behind the leveraged ETF's, both long and short.

  • DXD-DDM pairs trade commentary - July 10, 2009 by squark62
    essentially the same goes for the DOW 30 index model as said on this date for SDS-SSO pairs trade commentary.  however, the DOW 30 perhaps is a little farther down in the cycle than the S&P 500. More »

  • Leveraged ETF's Giving Big Premiuns for Short Trade by Marco Hickey
    With just 10 days left until the option expiration, I have crunched the numbers on some of the most popular leveraged ETF's and it looks as if they're getting some summer heat.
