Santa Comes Early; XSEL, CGYV, TPIV, and OPMG Comments

Sat, May 22, 2010
There was a little relief rally on Friday after a fairly wicked week in the markets. Thursday's giant sell down felt like a "cash at any cost" down draft, with almost no regard for value. That's fine with me. These kinds of emotional, momentum driven markets present opportunities for those with the...

Today's news validates my stance. In short, tack on another $1.8 million in revenue for 2009. The company was...

OTCJ: PKT (Procera Networks), CGYV (China Energy), and OPMG (Options

Mon, April 20, 2009
I recorded the technical commentary on these three stocks earlier this morning before the market tanked.

OTCJ: The Oil Gusher: Ready To Gush Again; Turbo Charging China

Thu, March 05, 2009
Turbo Charging China I heard yesterday's market described as the "hope that there could be hope" again some day. Today, there's no hope for hope again. However, I believe there is hope, but you have to look for it in the right places. Consider the OTC Journal's record since the 2008 market bottom. Also, I've found a great way to own oil for those who only want to pledge a little capital to experience maximum upside. Consider DXO- the 3 for 1, low priced ETF that tracks oil.

Two Insane Factoids Not too long ago I wrote bubbles were, by nature, mass shared speculative hallucinations. There's another side to that maxim.

Tue, September 30, 2008
The VIX Rocket Do you know what the VIX index is? They are talking about it a lot in the financial media.
