Last Friday, Wired.com released the Wired 40, a list of the top 40 most advanced companies in terms of techonology and innovation. There aren’t too many surprises with a top 5 of Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), *Samsung, Amazon (AMZN) and Yahoo (YHOO), but it’s an interesting read nonetheless. Two small, emerging companies that made the [...]

If you’re holding Apple Computer (AAPL) through its earnings report tonight you’re making a big gamble. Apple has raised the bar for this quarter’s earnings report, so anything short of a blow out quarter could derail this stock in a hurry. Analyst estimates put earnings this quarter at .24 a share, but Apple will [...]

Toll Brothers reports blow out earnings and raised guidance yet again. The CEO of Toll Brothers just said in reference to speculation of a top in homebuilding: "shorts will get crushed, you haven’t seen nothin’ yet". Hmmm… it’s these kind of statements that usually mark a top. We shall see.

As I write this, Google is breaking above its pivot point of 203.74, but instead of jumping into this one right now, a cautious approach may be a better strategy. While the stock has carved a mighty impressive base with tight price action (institutions are holding shares tight), buy volume has been lacking throughout (they’re [...]

In a recent post "Forecasting the Future: Chart Reading", I mentioned that the chart of DHB Industries (DHB) may have been forecasting some good news. High volume gap ups in a chart with no news can often indicate some positive announcements in the near future. That’s what was seen in the chart of DHB.. later, [...]
