...in August-September. DJIA appears to be trending down with next level of 12,600 (due early December) where upwards correction is possible. But the way it looks to me now, the level of 14,000 will be unreachable for next 5-6 months. Adjustments made to my portfolio: bought BEARX, FXA, and FXM.

Maybe I did learn some lessons. Having bought AMD @ $11.00 way back then, failing to sell at forty-something, and holding on to more than half of it until now, I don't regret selling NTDO.Y @ $67.58, since this represents close to 190% profit. NTDO.Y may still go much higher, split, but along the way there will be setbacks. I think risks of market meltdown are quite high, and, as of now, I'm

There is a problem with information flow. While USU was falling down, there were no newsbites explaining why, with the exception of conspiracy theory that US government was dumping Low Enriched Uranium to... to... uhm... make nuclear sector unappealing? Whatever. People (and bigger stock holders) where simply in the know about which direction the appeal to lift anti-dumping measures against LEU

It was, I guess, estabilished for some while, but it only became obvious to me today. Mr. Hulbert was right, that really was a triple-top in July. As I see it now, the rally is on its last legs. I give Dow Jones Industrial Average a week to hang in the current range of 13750-14000, and it's only down from there. So far, I sold into this rally my OXY (64.5), ERTS (56.09), and NOK (34.09).

Is this a wishful thinking thing or what?I consider recent troubles with product quality of goods produced overseas (first pet food, then toys) to be indicative of the overall quality of stuff done remotely as far as both the management and consumers are concerned. It's only the matter of time before those risks play. And also a matter of how closely the products touch health of consumers. I mean

Wow.

But a green-horn like myself? I would be very scared had I had more than 30% of my savings in stocks.Anyway. What I would look for next. I should set a "fair" price on domestic stocks I hold, so

...and unfortunately, I have to conclude that I'm not a player :(Last steps I'm planning to take: get out of DIVX position and replace it with something resilient to crisis. It may be KO, or PG, or JNJ. Sadly, I don't even have enough funds to open a position in GRZZX. This almost has been a humbling experience. I'm totally puzzled about folks in stock games doubling their virtual portfolios in a

One might think it's way too late in the game to play Uranium.... and may be it is, but I wanted to get into USU for so long, I could not resist the opportunity offered by what appears to be small correction as of recent week.

At least I was right so far about the LUKO.Y stock. In less than a week, it rose nicely and prospects are good for my closing the position with a gain. DIVX has been a disappointment so far, and I still lack the courage to close the position taking a loss. OTOH USU has stopped to gain stubbornly, an opportunity to buy cheap(er) is close from what it looks like. In my other portfolio, I was quite

... and what a surprise: it slid even furter down. Hope recession is not starting tomorrow. I'd like to spend few more weeks pretending I can increase my IRA portfolio before I execute upon my exit plan. Pity I might not have enough to open a position in GRZZX. Luckily, I have only ventured a small fraction to risk in the stock market (cash rules, baby!).

Finally, sold PNW at what essentially is the price I paid for it. What a waste of time. Now what? On prior occasion I contemplated investing in a few securities, let's revisit them.MIDD, one I deemed most interesting. From the look of the graph and from past history (which we all know is a poor indication of future returns), needs to touch just below 120 before it may go up to 135.SIMG is very

First, setting up a sell order on PNW at 49.50 and for DIVX at 18.23. Just because... just from looking at the graphs. Just to have something set up if I choose to not to get up too early. Getting up early every day is getting quite tiring, and it adds to disappointment as nothing changes and portfolio goes anywhere but up.When I get up, whether those preset orders execute or whether I decide to

Instead, I'd reveal a shameful thing that I experienced today. The thing is called "Hot Fuzz", the movie, and it's the best movie I've seen in a while. Maybe on par with "Robin Hood: Men in Tights", not sure, need to watch it few more times.What so shameful then? Few things: half-empty movie theater, for starters. Especially, in comparison with "Spiderman 3". And that's the second shameful thing:

This is not making me feel right, such wild gains (although those gains occur not in the IRA portfolio I'm supposed to be concerned with most at the moment). I may want to execute on exit strategy sooner than I thought. After all, what good are those small gains if recession falls on our heads not two years from now, but before year's end.

...which is, again, nothing but an opportunity to find good stocks cheap. CHRT: been looking at it for quite some while and now the price is very reasonable. LUKO.Y, my favourite, it's time to get into it while it's cheap: oil will be costly as summer driving season is upon us.

Wow, how nice and yet strange it looked. There must have been a lot of folks who wanted to sell at 49.30... for over 2 hours the stock could not punch through resistance at that level, but now that's over, it started steep ascent. Chances are looking better that set limit of 49.36 will be met. In fact, it appears tempting to cancel that order and wait where the next stability plateau will be :)

At the beginning of the day, my picks show some movement upwards which improves my chances of closing positions in PNW and DIVX. What will I replace them with? Let's see...USU, what an awesome company: keeps on going higher and higher, with very few meaningful dips: excellent choice for long-term investment, but not for my purpose. Will keep it on the radar for the exit strategy (when my free

There should be an important period, it occurs to me, in life of every investor (with the exception of unbelievably lucky ones), when a brutally honest analysis of one's flaws is performed. Take this week: I did not act on some stocks that would have paid off big, and I only acted on stocks that resulted in "portfolio" gain of less than 0.5%. The question that remains is, why? Of course this

Well, yeah, I blew it. The PNW stock I intended to sell today "no matter what", I didn't. Again I set cowardly too high a price for the sale to occur... I mean, c'mon, dude! above-average incomes are not made by buying and holding. I have to break this unproductive habit!ONT fired into stratosphere today in after hours... Hmm.

While I haven't sold PNW yet (it's that kind of slow-moving stock), tomorrow is it's last day to show performance or be replaced... No excuses!I also loaded up on DivX today, it dropped nicely despite good performance of the company, apparently as a knee-jerk reaction on the part of investors who'd given up on it. I too would expect that a not-so-long-ago IPO showing profit would grow

Opportunities for bargain-hunting are again present in today's market. Placed an order to buy BOOM at 32.24. Had a problem with my Internet connection, but ATT representative walked me through reset procedure that recovered the service. Meanwhile market trends were already estabilished, so no sour feelings about that disruption. Had to call my broker's customer service about the issue of me not

Trade of CRDN did not happen, but PNW purchase has executed. Stock continued sliding down and ended with loss of almost 0.5%. I put an order to sell if stock gains 2.5% tomorrow. Figures, the idea to split the money into two chunks wasn't a stupid one given my tendency to try to set purchase price lower than a stock may touch during a day. What do I do with the other half? The problem is, I can't

I ended up placing two orders, splitting the funds down the middle, but I somehow doubt those will be filled as I set the limit a bit too low, it seems. First is CRDN, for which I set the buy order limit at 55.98 which is seemingly the support level it could descend to... but unlikely this will be today. Second, it's PNW, with limit price of 48.51: slightly more realistic, looking at today's

Didn't quite work, but I'm not giving up yet, will try to get to bed earlier than usual in the evening.Next preparation: I'm shortlisting a whole bunch of stocks using tools provided by my broker.

It may have took over a month for funds transfer to complete, but today I was notified by email that my IRA funds have arrived to my broker's account. It's time to start planning strategy and executing.Initially, I thought I'll put the entire sum on the line: investing into one stock at a time. Now I'm not so sure.

This time it's "near-DVD quality" Mr Jobs has blessed us with. Apple these days is so far from making elitist-bound perfection-driven products. Interesting, how convenience overweighed quality. First, it's discrete digital sound of CDs. Next, it's lossy copy of those same tracks. Can we take even crappier sound for our daily consumption?! A-ah, here's the cue: "daily consumption". Before,

This was making rounds in certain partitions of the bigger Internet. You could have seen it, or you could have not. This is a story you can find by entering a search in Google, similar to this. I can be proven wrong, but nobody in tens of instances I inspected myself, nobody provided a link, or a screenshot of the original post. It is possible that the original poster (who?) is such a credible

It is my belief that insurance industry is little more than converted and legalized mafia. In light of this, a new data point on marketing research purpose and nature can be seen here. Really, what does it mean that IntelliJ IDEA, arguably the best Java development tool on this planet (not considering Visual Age for Java as it's been EOLed by those suckers), is not in the list of contenders?

This is going to be the third... This time I even managed to shoot it on video camera, how the TV, after just being turned on, would first shut the picture off, 5 seconds later sound goes too, and the infamous "three lights of death" would start blinking. I've a suspicion it has to do with sound subsystem, as it usually occurs when channel is switched, and the new channel is loud all across the

I'm staying with AMD (now off $14 from its recent peak of $42). Although INTC has got a much stronger chip, since its availability is PLANNED to be limited (and it's a relatively big chunk of silicon, 4MB cache for a desktop part!), and since the prior generation of chips is going to be steeply discounted, I don't see INTC making any impressive financial figures in a few quaters to come. I think

Neither PS3, nor XBOX360 will manage to pick up steam (in terms of both units sold and games released) before the next economy contraction occurs. So, it's going to be almost all game console marketplace to Nintendo (PS2 games would perform rather well, for those companies that would still make them).

What was revealed in The Matrix has already happenned. This is what computers use us for: constantly, to read incoming emails and IMs, for daily cleanup of spam emails, for weekly installation of latest updates... Then there are weather and traffic news they make us read. Then there's this virtual "stock market" where they reward us for being "in the game" and "in the know".And all that is made

From Toyota ad: "When does your car become more than just a car?"Umm... I don't know, when you've paid for it more than it's worth?Strangely, the quality of automobile ads has decreased recently, or maybe it's just a soft spot we've hit. Safety is an important concept. But anyone thinking that recent WV or BMW ads where owner of a car either survives a crash or nearly avoids it, is nuts.

I finally had installed HDTV service from DirecTV. Picture quality is simply mind blowing. My TV is only capable of reproducing 720p imagery, but that still compares quite favourably with DVD, which usually does 480i/p. Got not too many channels there, but at any given time there is either a movie or a series in HD format of interest to me or somebody else in the family. I really think there is

Whoof! This is such a relief... My faith in Samsung is restored now. But there were a couple of weeks full of stress, and I did spend $230 needlessly in the end. How it happenned, very simple. In November 2004 I bought a 50" DLP HDTV by Samsung. Since I have never dealt with electronics that would die on me, especially since I always tried to select products of a well-respected companies, I never

Checked mail...My wife got a Gucci catalogue. Man, there's one thing I'm certain about those who buy stuff from catalogues like that. They sure should not care what a nobody like me thinks about them :)Netflix continues to "reward" me for being a "heavy" user of their service. They sent me a second cracked DVD in duration of one month! Oh, how they want me to cancel my service with them and

Sweet revenge.One thing I would do different, I would not place this facility in Arizona desert. I would actually make it so that the two escape the institute somewhere in Mountain View.

How do you like spending a year learning something and few years later only being able to talk about the subject in terms of "yeah, I studied this stuff once... don't remember anything of it now"? I'm not talking about your differential geometry course, fellows :) This happens to most people, and for me such a wasted effort is the time I spent learning Finnish (Puhutaan Suomea?).

...and so are its investment partners. A whole slew of analysts are up in arms saying "sleeping giant has awaken!" and stuff. I so far fail to reconcile the following two things: poor results in last quarter are blamed on "capacity constraints" and, at the same time, Intel's inventory has grown. Huh? My explanation (I'm an interested party, you know) is, there's little demand for Intel CPUs. And

When driving to work I often think that ther must be a physical process that models the similar situation to one of cars moving along a highway. I discarded the idea that this can be described as an electric current, even though an idea of having a fricktionless motion as in superconductivity is appealing. Reason being, I doubt that there could be waves of density in electric current.But as a

I would maintain that holiday shopping is more stressful for boyfrends, husbands and otherwise male part of population. No, I'm just kidding. Just because I am so attentive to detail and so unforgiving, so mistrusting towards merchants does not mean all males are the same. I can actually think of a good strategy that I might want to pick up: set the budget, and grab the first thing that matches
