- Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR) Head & Shoulders Top
I’ve talked quite a bit about the head and shoulders top formations in the Dow and S&P500 in recent weeks and it looks like we might get confirmation of those topping formations soon, based on early trading action today. What that means is that there is going to be an abundance of ways to play [...]

- Greenspan Fueled Selloff, Still on Sidelines in Mastercard (MA), Visa (V)
Just when you thought Greenspan rode off into the sunset on his white horse and enjoyed life a bit, there he was on CNBC talking about the current state of the economy (for which Mr. Artificially Low Interest Rate continues to take no credit for). We all know that when Greenspan talks people tend to [...]

As many of you probably know, oil speculator extraordinaire T Boone Pickens has a plan, a plan to save the world from itself in the form of clean energy (well sorta, more on that later). Mr. Pickens, I applaud you for your efforts and for stepping up at a time when government agrees to [...]

- Cardica (CRDC) Breaking Out From Bullish Triangle
Last year I traded CRDC for a quick 45% profit and I believe it may be offering such an opportunity here again as it attempts a breakout from a bullish triangle formation. This is a highly volatile, speculative swing trade so play accordingly and please do your own research.

That was then, this is now.. and times have certainly changed. For one thing, the [...]
