Monday Morning

So, I had this epic post all worked out in my head - it was about how to approach Christmas as a true season of giving against the countervailing pressures of consumerism and understanding contemporary holiday celebrations as living symbols of post-modern capitalism, which is to say, how to steer your children away from visions of sugar plums and the Dora Magical Welcome House dollhouse set, blah

What can I say, other than Christmas came early. Gold is continuing the run, and more importantly, holds up when stocks pull back. I'll be adding to this trade on dips. BGU was a score...

jag brukar inte deppa över vintern, tänker; hellre mörker och massa tända ljus som glimmar än gråväder och kallt regn som gnäller. men när jag ser bilderna ovan så längtar jag efter ljus. och färger. efter att slöbläddrat igenom en liten gauguin-bok igår så fick jag plötsligt impulsen att flytta in i en liten trähydda målad i mörkrött, chokladbrunt och smaragdgrönt och enbart

Hey everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend! I'm not going to post anything of significance here this morning.  I've spent most of the morning writing a post for the Assembly of God Blogs network site.  Please take a couple minutes, and go to the network site.  Read the post, and participate in the poll. Your input is greatly appreciated!

Like a ton of icy, panic-coated bricks, it hit me about halfway between home and work: I had missed my Monday morning meeting again. Accelerating slightly, my stomach twisted itself into a Gordian knot as the dread sunk its claws deep into my gut.This wasn’t the first time I’d missed the meeting. Just last week, my boss had commented on my consistently missing this meeting.But can you blame me

Just one trade so far today. Bought POTash on the late morning pullback and was in the trade exactly 21 minutes for an avg profit around $1/share. Although I see many long candidates, the indexes are not confirming, and as such, I expect to be relatively inactive today. I cannot stress enough how important it is to not chase your expected moves. The markets have plenty of movement and will...

Well the DOW futures this morning said that the DOW would jump by 380 points or so.  When the markets opened, the DOW shot up over 400 points right out of the gate.  Right now the markets are up about 450 points.  Nice to see some positive action in the markets. In other news over the [...]

For this week's Monday Morning Coffee, instead of a mix of reading and short videos, I'm posting a movie.Congress is going to come back to work today and announce their brilliant plan to save our financial system.

Actors and actresses often have unusual names. You know - they often change their name to a stage name upon reaching popularity. If you were an actor or actress, it would be easy to find a new name! Just combine the name of your first cat (if you've never had a cat use a neighbor cat's name) and the name of the street you live on. So what is your actor/actress name?Mine would be: Jasmine SykesvilleWow that's a mouthful!

It’s hard to spend Monday mornings at the office cruising the web for hot chicks so I usually find the Monday morning pick me up on Sunday afternoon. There was a Christmas party at my house yesterday afternoon and I took the opportunity to catch a little Sunday afternoon buzz.

I didn’t want to let anyone down so I bit the bullet and did some hot chick internet surfing at my desk. You’re welcome. Share This

If you look at the major indexes above, all of them are either sideways to down. On the other hand the indicators are still not pointing to a major down turn. The small cap index is in really bad shape but the Dow and S&P are dead in the middle of their ranges. The high flying China Index looks to be a pretty good top right now but the other emerging markets are more like the Dow.-It is amazing that everyone got so excited with last weeks rally but it really got us no where. Still because it is January and the Smart/Dump has not broken down, I want to bet we will trend up over the near term.

Good morning to all of you and we are beginning another week of activity but this week will be a short week as tuesday is a market holiday for Christmas. Thursday will be the settlement for this month F & O and so we have only 3 days for the settlement.There will be lot of volatility due to rollover positions being high and at the same time there are lot of shorts built up. We will see gap up opening as shorts are covered on opening but again we see rollover positions bringing down the market. Those who want to gain in our market need to have two things which are a must. One is discipline and other is patience. If you lack either of these, you may not gain but instead loose your money.There are many other factors like greed and fear but all these are part of the above two. Most of the investors attitude is to make some quick money but the real gainers will be those who have invested in a disciplined manner and also have enough patience to reap rewards.Just to give an example : When

It's a yawner of a Monday headlines diary. Yanks and Mets kicking the tires on Prior John Boggs is hoping they don't take him for a test drive. From the NY Daily News: The possibility of the Yankees and Mets competing for a big-name pitcher always puts sizzle into a free-agent chase, but it remains to be seen how deep the two teams get into discussions over rehabbing righty Mark Prior, the ex-Cub. Both have expressed "preliminary interest" in Prior, John Boggs, the pitcher's agent, said yesterday. "But it hasn't been anything more than that. Next week will probably be pretty busy." Boggs says 11 teams have expressed interest in his client, who likely will be ready to pitch in the majors by the end of May. Prior, whose promising career has been derailed by injuries, was non-tendered by Chicago last week. Prior had arthroscopic surgery last season on his shoulder in which noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews did some repair work to his rotator cuff and labrum. "He's playing catch r

Good Morning to all of you !. It is another Monday morning and another half hour to go before the action in our markets start this week. We have weak global cues to tackle with but we have strong bulls in our market to tackle the cues. We will have weak opening but markets should consolidate and bounce back again.There have been lot of questions on Reliance and RPL merger and though RPL share holders will be at slight disadvantage when the actual merger takes place, my advice is to stay invested in RPL as the merger may or may not happen. However one should also have Reliance Shares in their portfolio and it should be a balance. I expect that demerger will take place in only in 2009 by the time the valuations will change considerably.IFCI conversion price for changing the debt to equity of financial institutions may be around 107 Rs and the bids are expected to be around 130 to 150.

Markets were volatile on Friday as at every rise there is some profit booking seen but at the same time the selling is getting absorbed with new buyers coming in.FED is expected to make rate cut in its meeting on 11th December and there should be a rate cut of 0.25%. This should fuel further rally in our markets. However we are at a level once again where there will be lot of volatility and only stock specific activity is needed.Many of the blog readers have asked me about the right time to enter GMR Infra. Please remember that you can actually enter a stock any time if you find value in that stock. One should always be prepared for the dip in the stock and treat it as opportunity to make more money. GMR Infra has a very good business model and it is a stock one shoud hold for long term to reap benefits. I expect GMR to touch 550 Rs in another one year and this could change if GMR bags a couple of Airports. GMR is going to soon come out with IPO for its subsidiary GMR energy which shou

Not many. I hope this market sells off a little today and tomorrow and then we get a rally midweek and make all the IBD guys happy with a follow thru day.

This is why I write my blog. This is why I am very open with my gains and losses. This is why I review all my trades multiple times. It is a

For many reasons, I believe we are getting ready for a multi-week bounce. I subscribe to Sentimentrader.com. They have a smart money verse dumb money indicator that is flashing a somewhat strong buy signal. The indicator is not easy to pick the absolute bottom but it does very well in picking major swing points. Also I have read in multiple places that if November sucks, most of the time December does not.-These facts and others over the last week of so, I have gone from a 20% cash position in my 401k to 5%. I also will be looking to move my money in my IRAs into the market, I am guessing, this week.-Too many of my friends are just beginning to but short positions on when I believe the majority of that game is done for now. Who knows in a couple of months or even weeks from now?-I am hoping for a multi-day sell off to use that weakness to get long.

Markets will be volatile this week but I believe bulls will have an upper hand unless we see very bad global cues. I think we should test 6000 on Nifty Once again though it is my guess but volatility is going to be there for sure.Reliance Petro is out of F & O ban and watch the action in this counter now. GMR Infra will be subdued because of F & O curb but since this will be for few days we should see action in this counter once the placement news on this comes out today.IFCI will move once again towards 95 and then book profits again.

I wish someone would do something baseball related already. Once again, the Chicago beat writers had a nice weekend off, something I'd kill for right about now.  Do you suppose they just sit all day and check MLB Trade Rumors all day when there's nothing official coming from the Cubs? John Sickels' Cubs Top 20 Check for a special LOHOer comment.  Someone was first, but was able to withstand the temptation to post only, "First!" From minorleagueball.com: These systems with lots of Grade C guys are hard to do. There are 15 other guys in the book who rate as Grade C, any of them could slot into the back end of the top 20 depending on what you are looking for. If someone you like isn't mentioned here, point it out in the comments and I'll tell you if he is in the book, or if I overlooked him. Baseball America's list should come out on Monday, and I imagine it could be substantially different. The hardest part is the top two. Who would you rather have? Vitters or Soto? Vit

Good morning to all my readers. It is Monday Morning and time to put on thinking cap. There has been lot of inflows in the last few months and with this the bulls were creating new records and sensex was moving from one milestone to another.This has bought in new expectations from the investors and they are so high, it is akin to asking Yuvaraj to hitting six sixes an over every time he comes in to bat. Investors now want 50% to 100% returns in less than a month. Is this possible ? No.....It is expecting very high returns in quick time. Normally if you get a return of anything above 20% in a year, it is considered as good returns in stock market since we get less than 10% in an FD.However there have been many stocks in the past few months which have given more than 50% returns in less than 2 months and some even 100% returns. I had infact given 100% returns as target for one year but they were achieved in a month.Now investors are caught in two minds, Fear and Greed. They fear that st

I'll do my best to make every picture be about baseball. I know you all would want it that way. I think Sully's on vacation That, or he's deep undercover somewhere, doing a bit of investigative journalism.  Maybe he's doing a follow-up on the 20/20 Food Lion piece. Whatever he's doing, we get Phil Rogers again. From the Trib: First up, Murray Chass (of New York Times and FireJoeMorgan.com fame) thinks Boras is regretting turning down the Yankees' extension offer. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels and San Francisco Giants are the three teams most interested in adding Rodriguez, judging from appearances at last week's general managers meetings in Orlando. Others may be studying the situation from the fringes, but only to swoop in if the uber offer fails to materialize. You wonder if agent Scott Boras overplayed his hand, especially if Rodriguez is motivated by trying to get a World Series ring. "The more Boras talks, the more he sounds like he thinks he erred by o

Overall market doesn’t seem to know what it wants to do—afternoon panic possible, but not probable. Highfliers BIDU, ISRG, FSLR, SOHU, JRJC, SPWR all down nicely—flight to conservative investments like CYGT. Just kidding, but CYGT is acting nicely on continued volume, increasing the bid from .06 to .07 and now .09 and taking out the 0.09-.10 ask and pushing it all the way up to .17 (now a .13 guy just came in hoping to get lucky). Endeavor Acquisition (

As I got ready to pour my coffee this morning I opened the cupboard and hesitated before the mugs and cups. Then I spied it and it 'felt' right so I grabbed it... my Santa mug. Yesterday morning it was a certain plain white ceramic mug. The day before it had to be the tall Starbucks mug. Do other people do this? Do other people make daily choices based on what decision feels right? Because

I hope every one of you had a good Diwali though markets did not sparkle on Diwali Muhurat trade. This was the first muhurat trade in last seven years where markets closed in negative.This was precisely due to the reason that Markets had run up too fast. If you my remember my comments earlier, I was mentioning how markets were running ahead of fundamentals and so correction was imminent. The much desired correction is happening now and we may see some more downside before we resume the rally again. The reversal will be sharp and fast like it happened at 13500.Focus on specific stocks and buy. GMR infra finally crossed 200 and I am happy that it has crossed this resitant figure of 200 and now we should see 250 as the next target once market reverses. We may see some stocks move up eventhough markets are in negative and Reliance Petro could be one stock where the run up will be huge. Please see my another post which I will be postigng seperately which will explain how quickly valuations

Yawn. So it's a painfully slow news day, with the GM meetings starting today in Orlando.  So, hopefully this is the calm before the storm, and we'll have plenty of exciting trades and rumors to keep us entertained through Thursday. But as for today, prepare to catch yourself yawning quite a bit. This article has two mentions of Cub players I told you it was a slow news day. From SignOnSanDiego.com: The Padres were rebuffed when they asked about Cubs center fielder Felix Pie in May - talks that, had they progressed, likely would have included shortstop Khalil Greene. And this one has a former Cub and current Cub: Free-agent Matt Clement wants to return to the Padres and would take a low base salary as part of a one-year deal laced with incentives. Clement had surgery to repair his labrum and rotator cuff in September 2006. Another right-hander on the comeback trail from shoulder surgery, Cubs pitcher Mark Prior, has the Padres on his radar and would become a free agent if Chic

Welcome to another craptastic Monday. I didn’t even booze this weekend and yet somehow I still managed to sleep like shit last night. Why can’t I win. There has got to be some way to feel good on Monday morning. Share This

I do! I do! This is a testament to a) my stupidity and b) the simplicity of the WordPress installation/upgrade process. I would never, ever condone performing an upgrade on your website in the middle of Monday morning. Why? Well, that is usually one of the peak times of usage for most websites (unless they are inherently weekend oriented). I would normally have done this task over the weekend, but I had some family in from out of town and just could not get to it. So I thought I would tempt fate this morning. Luckily (or with God’s grace) everything went very smooth and I am now running the latest version (WordPress 2.3.1). I was planning on installing a new theme along with this upgrade. It’s a theme I’ve been working on myself. You can look forward to that sometime later this week. Maybe today if I’m feeling extremely lucky.
