On December 19, we bought SolarCity ($SCTY), one of the top stocks on our watchlist, then added to the position as the stock surged higher. Two weeks after our second buy entry, we locked in a solid gain of 25.8% by selling partial share size into strength of a powerful rally. Now, we still remain long […]
On January 30, I said the stock market was about to trigger a new “sell” signal, and also suggested the NASDAQ may fall to the 4,000 level in the near-term. Three trading days later, the NASDAQ plunged 2.6% and indeed kissed its next key area of support near the 4,000 level (closed the day at […]

Grab a seat, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let’s objectively assess the situation on a technical level. Although the NASDAQ and S&P 500 tumbled 1.5% […]
On December 31, 2013, we sold our position in Kandi Tech Corp ($KNDI) for a price gain of 60% over a 3-week holding period. Scoring a gain of more than 50% on a stock trade of only a few weeks duration may seem unusual, but it actually is not. These trading opportunities happen on a […]

As we approach Christmas Day, many traders and investors are anticipating a “Santa Claus rally” in the stock market…and with good reason. According to a recent Forbes article (three steps on how to trade the Santa Claus rally), the S&P 500 has scored a December gain in 17 of the past 20 years. The Dow Jones […]
