  • Links that Get the Market Speculator’s Seal of Approval

    Here is a list of posts and articles that are worthy of the Market Speculator’s highly sought after seal of approval. Trading Links:Dr. Steenbarger shows that strength begets more strength. Maybe my pullback strategy won’t work . . . The gold ETF looks golden. I’m a buyer on a pullback.…

  • Revisiting Building A Better Watchlist

    Ever since the “Beat the Market by Building a Better Watchlist” post, I’ve received a number of e-mails asking for more detail about how I build the watchlists that I post on the site. It takes a complex, organic process that takes many factors into account to narrow a list…

  • Random Thoughts

    I’m doing my best not to chase. The last thing I want to do is buy just before the inevitable pullback. I thought about buying LEH when it dipped to $61.75 today. It was on my “buy the dip” list, but I was worried because it was down while the…

  • Six Stocks to Buy on the Dip

    Of the 100 stocks on my focus list, I’ve identified 40 that I like as buy the dip plays. Here are six of them:

  • Gotta Love the Dip

    Today’s dip was exactly the type of day a pullback trader loves. It’s been tough the past few days having to chase stocks. We needed a light volume pullback, and that’s exactly what we got. It’s a good time to start thinking about entering some small probing positions on momentum…

  • Today’s Trade: MT

    I sold 300 shares of MT this morning at $73.40 for a $576 gain (+2.7%). I may be this one back if it dips into the $68-70 range. I’m looking for dips today in stocks on my primary watchlist. Oil, Industrials, Copper, steel, some techs (GRMN, NVDA, VDSI) and other…

  • Boone Pickens on Oil

    No surprise here, oil tycoon Boone Pickens is an oil bull. According to Mr. Pickens, we are not near a top, although there could be a short term correction. I’m looking to buy on a pullback to the mid 70 range. MT TradeBuilding a Better Watchlist

  • MT Trade

    I entered MT this morning, buying 300 shares at $71.48. Stepping back from the trade, it looks like I may have entered a bit early. The last time MT had a similar breakout with a long price bar (early June), price action immediately pulled back to the breakout point before…

  • Beat the Market by Building a Better Watchlist

    I attribute my modest success as a trader to preparation and building strong watch lists. Entering and exiting trades is the easy part. Most of my time and energy is focused on narrowing thousands of stocks down to a strong, manageable list of stocks that will beat the market. This…

  • Update on My Emotions: Arghhhh!

    Arghhhh! While I made some spendid gains today, I can’t seem to forgive myself for cutting ties with UA, SII and SWHC yesterday. Instead of taking small losses, I would have have made a little over $2000. That’s what I get for not adhering to my stops. All of you…

  • The Nifty Fifty

    Needless to say, I am relieved at the way the market is reacting to the Fed’s “nifty fifty.” I was a nervous wreck all day, considering the long positions I was holding going into the meeting. Not only did I have my current positions, I also bought BHP and PCU…

  • Market Notes, Primary Watchlist and Greenspan Rant

    I’ve thought long and hard about how to play tomorrow’s Fed announcement. After much back and forth, I’ve decided to just hold onto my current positions and let the trades play out according to my original analysis. I feel protected by the fact that I have taken on smaller than…

  • 2 Great Ways to Play the Agriculture Bull Market

    Update: I inadvertently uploaded charts of FLR and FWLT, instead of AGU and MON. I’ll leave the other two charts up since both stocks are on my primary watchlist. Here are the charts for AGU and MON, two of my favorite ag plays: FWLT and FLR charts:
