If you haven’t guessed, I am of the opinion that the US Equities market is headed for a large correction. I described my technical reasons for this in my post “Buckle Up” and you may want to review this for context. Also I have provided my top 5 stocks with the most to lose in my previous post “The Harder They Fall.” However, it is certainly possible to profit from a correction without taking any company specific risk. To describe this, I’ll need to revisit my biggest winner from 2011 “Winning with Volatility”. (more…)

Look for resistance test at .9337 as an opportunity to top up a short on the USDCHF currency pair. If resistance holds, look for a step down to .92579 and a possible continuation to .921. (more…)

Quantum Review: Equinix, Inc.

When trading, we can be our own worst enemy.  I have seen traders and brokers so caught up in the story and the belief that a stock will go higher, that they refuse to see evidence to the contrary.  Being wrong stings the ego, and we never want to admit it. (more…)
