Is the Gold Breakout for Real?
Gold ETF GLD recently broke out over $100, an area that has provided major "round number resistance" the past two times GLD tried to breakout. When a "major" ETF or market leader breaks out over a number like $100 after basing around that area for a significant amount of time, I consider it an automatic... Continue Reading →
SPY Chart Analysis
I posted the SPY chart that I sent to subscribers last night without any annotations and a few blog readers weren't quite sure what the chart meant.

Today’s Trade; VLO and QID
I've traded these stocks so much that past few days, they feel like family. I bought 500 shares of QID at $55.86. I've been trading in 1000 share blocks, but I'm not sure that there won't be more of a bounce in the Q's, so I'm keeping the position size small. If we see QID... Continue Reading →
