A funny thing about Gold is, people who have any kind of opinion on it are either EXTREMELY bullish, or EXTREMELY bearish. There tends not to be any middle ground. No surprise it is such a politicized instrument.

Well, I don't care about any...

Risk management is Rule #1.

Last month, I put a trade on that didn't work out. Believe me, it happens (shocking, I know! /EndObviousSarcasm). There was a level that invalidated my thesis and it was breached. I don't fight with price...

Geez... the calendar turned into October and traders are acting like Halloween is already here! The up-and-down trading action so far in the first three days of October can be downright frightening if you're chasing every whipsaw in this schizo tape...

Sometimes, the charts set up where one could make a case for a consolidation being on the cusp of breaking out. One such beleaguered company appears to be doing just that. If there's any follow through, there is blue skies ahead and I've got a play...

I love it when steady dividend payers breakout to all-time highs. What's better than a stock breaking into blue skies and paying you a dividend to hold on? In the recent All Star Charts monthly conference call, JC uncovered an opportunity in an...

All else being equal, when deciding between two or three viable trades, I'll often choose the one that offers me the best opportunity to neutralize my "greeks risk." Meaning, if my overall portfolio is leaning a little long delta, I might favor the...

You've got to love a stock breaking out of a seven-year base and doing so with options pricing in the lowest volatility levels all year. And when it is in a strong sector that has been among the leaders all year, I'm licking my chops.

In elementary school, nothing was more interesting to me than Space. And a quick look at my Lego collection would confirm this in two seconds flat. I was obsessed. But more in the "great unknown" way. So many questions. So many possibilities.

Sometimes we spot an opportunity, but we have to be quick to capitalize on it. Fading volatility spikes is one of those situations. If we're willing to take on a little more risk in favor of a high probability setup and we act quick, nice profits can...

With markets pointing higher (if you follow price and ignore the headlines, like a responsible trader), it makes sense to take good looks at stocks coming out of strong bases. One hospital stock recently caught our attention as it is...

Imagine being in a business where you take a nearly risk-free slice of every transaction, world-wide. That would be a lot of money. Well, companies which do just that do exist, and they likely take up some real estate in your...

We're checking through an online car reseller to find a new ride for another journey to our favorite destination -- The Hundred-Dolla-Roll!

Continuing a theme that we started the week with, we're still on the hunt for attractive long opportunities in the strongest sectors. When markets get choppy and uncertainty about market regime change looms, I seek relative safety in the corners of...

Back in April, we attempted to get long Texas Instruments $TXN, but the stock gapped higher at the open on our entry day and it didn't come back for a month. So we missed it. And that was a bummer. But sometimes, life (and markets) gives us a second...

While many stocks and indices are attempting to repair themselves from recent August volatility, the Energy sector continues to be mired in a year-long downtrend. And considering many of our current positions are leaning long, it is always good to...
