Profit Taking In January?

90% of your success as a trader should come from the work, research and effort you put in OUTSIDE of market hours. That's why I recommend traders do post analysis of their work and study market history. Since 2013 was a very strong year for the markets, we could possibly see some profit taking in January [...]

A Story About Short Selling

Back in 1999, there was an Internet company called CMGI. For those of you who remember, the stock was INSANE! Split adjusted, it went from 0.30 cents to $120. After this happened, I spoke to a very sharp friend of mine who was managing a $2 Billion hedge fund. His exact words were: "Joe, this [...]

Stories From 1999

I recently wrote a blog post titled "This is NOT a Bubble!" At the end of the post, I said I would tell a few stories from 1999 to emphasize my point that we are NOWHERE CLOSE to the bubble and the euphoria we saw back then. Enjoy! - Back in 1999, many of the [...]

The Market’s Pattern This Year

Here is a pattern I have noticed in the market about 6 or 7 times this year: 1) The market goes on a 3-6 week run. 2) The run usually stalls when we get extended from the moving averages, bullishness increases (based on many sentiment measures), and active investment managers are aggressively long the market [...]

Thankful For My New York Family

In the past month, I've had 3 people close to me pass away. The main positive I can take away from this is that you have to let your family and friends know how much you appreciate them every opportunity you get. I moved to New York over a year ago and I didn't know [...]

This is NOT a Bubble!

Over the past few weeks, I've heard people discuss if this current stock market is in a bubble. Every time I hear this, I want to vomit. Here's why: 1) The financial media has nothing to talk about right now. Their job is to scare you so you stay glued to the TV. Think about it, [...]

A Seasonally Strong Time of the Year

Nothing has changed with my Fourth Quarter Game Plan that I outlined on 9/16/13. 1) There will be no Fed taper until next year. 2) The S&P 500 could see +5-7% upside from here, but individual stocks could potentially see significantly more upside. My feeling is that individual stock pickers will be rewarded more than [...]
