Why Monday through Friday is Pointless
2008-05-09 00:01:39
Friday already?? I guess its too late to start the week… oh well, there is always next week. Stay away: Nothing to say here. Just don’t touch Synchronoss Technologies (SNCR). By the way the 52 week high at one point was $48… uhh yeah. Keep rolling: Its called Haliburton (HAL) aka money maker. Spotted it here, here, and probably [...]

Why Rain Negatively Affects the Market
2008-05-12 00:01:05
As I try to push through this horrible weather, it gets harder and harder to stay active. I don’t think I have seen the sun in a week or so; nonetheless, I have managed to make the fight and find some stocks that have could see some sunshine. Cameron International Corporation - CAM While messing around the [...]

If I could turn back time
2008-05-11 12:57:04
If last week told me anything, it said that we still have major problems ahead of us, and the Lakers may have to play couple more games to get to the Championship. Here are what others had to say (click on the source for full story): The Digerati Life: “Think back to the time when you’d [...]


New 24 in iMAC
2008-05-10 20:29:31
So today I spent most of my day enjoying my new 24 in. iMac. I have been a Windows user all my life, but a family member of mine helped me try the transition. After I got over the size and quickness of the machine, I have to say that my first impression is pretty positive; [...]


Monopolies aren’t always good
2008-05-13 00:01:05
Who knows how much longer we have to wait to see how everything plays out between Sirius (SIRI) and XM Radio’s (XMSR), but I am starting to lose faith. For quite some time, people were enamored with the fact that Sirius and XM Radio’s merger would be a smashing success. Other’s were complaining that the monopoly [...]

Shall we revert back to Solar Panels
2008-05-14 02:30:15
Yowzers!! Yesterday was huge day for many solar and semi-conductor Stocks. Canadian Solar (CSIQ) helped spark the magic. CSIQ not just beat Wall Street’s expectations, but they doubled them! To make things even better, the company is expecting a strong second quarter. On the day, the stock jumped 19% or nearly 7 points. The stock alone has [...]


So you are ready for more money
2008-05-16 00:06:41
So you started off with a couple thousands of dollars. A decent amount to get your feet wet and hold 2-3 solid positions in stocks at one time. Suddenly your returns are 3, 4, or even more times that of the market’s average. Hey, your return is even better than those of top mutual funds [...]

I think its time for a pep rally
2008-05-15 13:00:05
Contrary to what it may look like, the Dow (INDU) has steadily been on the rise over that past couple of months. Now the question is if we break past 13000 with conviction? If we do, then I see a huge rally in the preceding months aka summer. Remember last summer? The Dow hit that stride [...]

Oh, what to do at 4 AM
2008-05-18 03:51:20
The following is a paid program and do not reflect the opinions of TWI. Maybe I am the only one, but does anybody out there have trouble changing the channel when those “making money” infomercial are on (usually late at night)? Now don’t get me wrong. I know that many of them are scams, but it [...]


Now Whats the Excuse
2008-05-17 00:01:04
I have mentioned my fair share of stocks over the last couple of months, but whats the fun without seeing how they turned out, other than the beautiful iMac on my desk. First lets get some quick announcements out of the way: TWI has been updated to a Google Page Rank 4. Look here if you don’t [...]

Time to Revisit the Trouble Maker
2008-05-19 00:01:25
All last year, I was riding high on EMC Corporation (EMC). They owned majority of one of the hottest IPOs ever, in VMware (VMW). EMC was all good and it gave me great gains, but, as 2007 was coming to a close, the company started slowly and painfully sinking lower and lower. The stock eventually topped [...]

What it is to be me
2008-05-21 00:02:39
Back on April 3rd I recommended Suncor Energy (SU). This was when the current price of oil was just a myth. At the time the stock was sitting on $100. Now the stock is sitting at… well just see for yourself. Sure the TWI price target at the time was set up for an 8 point [...]


The Bizzare and Funny
2008-05-20 00:01:29
First we will start with the BIZZARE. So I happened to come across one of those 24 hour news channels the other morning, and, to my surprise, there was an interview going on with the mayor of Muskogee, Oklahoma. Whats so weird about that that you ask? He is only 19! The majority of some odd 38,000 [...]

Ah, the Problem with Transparency
2008-05-23 00:01:30
TWI Dictionary: Transparency - the amount of business plan and results relayed to the mass. For the public, a high level of transparency is always preferred, and for quick and easy growth transparency is also good for the business itself. It has that vibe that you stand behind what you are doing. That is exactly what Todd [...]

More Reasons the Airlines Don’t Care About YOU
2008-05-25 00:34:03
As I mentioned a couple weeks back, airlines can basically do whatever they want. Need more proof? Well how about the fact that now numerous airlines are considering charging passengers for checked luggage. Who started all this talk? None other than good old American Airlines . In a plan to try and increase their revenue, American is planning to cut [...]

Red is Not a Good Color
2008-05-24 08:01:25
I had been pretty busy all this week, so I was never really able to run any good positions. It was probably a good thing I didn’t. When I open Firefox the home page is my personalized iGoogle, with a Google Finance section in the corner (yes I my life is google). Not good to [...]

An ETF on Steroids
2008-05-25 16:12:50
I came across this interesting article on MarketWatch. It shares the proposal of a new ETF. The goal of the fund is: to give triple the daily return of some mainstream stock indexes. Of course, these leveraged funds would amplify investors’ potential losses as well. The fund would track many popular U.S benchmarks and possibly add in [...]

How Times have Changed
2008-05-27 16:34:48
I came across this interesting article on CNN Money. It basically compares prices for pop-culture items today and roughly 30+ years ago. Although I was alive for only some of the flashbacks, it is still interesting to see how much things have changed specific to the price. They cover things from the Brady Bunch house, Mr. [...]

An APPLE a day Gives you More Money to Play
2008-05-27 03:04:13
I don’t typically like to venture or invest in stocks over $120 or so; however, I can’t seem to get Apple (APPL) out of my mind. Some of you probably already know that I recently purchased a 24 in. iMAC. After being such a “Windows Pusher” and shying away from the Mac era we have inevitably [...]

I Guess It isn’t that Bad, is it?
2008-05-29 00:01:44
It is somewhat of an interesting conundrum. At last check we were suppose to be in some sort of a recession, right? Yet in a time when houses everywhere are in foreclosure, people are tangled in something called subprime, and old folks everywhere are having difficult times landing a job. It seems like people just can’t [...]

TD Ameritrade Launches Pattern Matcher
2008-05-30 00:01:10
Just a couple months back I was scouring the internet for several different chart programs. My stock brokerage is TD Ameritrade (AMTD), but I was not really in love with the chart tools that were available. It looks like TD Ameritrade took my concerns seriously. As of the last couple of weeks, Ameritrade has launched, updated, and [...]

Something is Better Than Nothing

Another week has passed us by, so why not see what happened with the stocks I shared this week. I wasn’t too thrilled with the movement within the markets, although we may be in store for a quick rally to the upside (according to the Industrial Average), barring a break through the 50 day moving [...]

Keeping it Simple
2008-06-04 00:01:08
You might remember a post I wrote some time ago.

Just me and trusty old Google Finance. Well after a couple of months of almost unknowingly maintaining this [...]

For years now all the talk has been on the huge growth occurring in China. The 2008 games were to bring about a revitalization of the once highly sought after jewel in the Far East. As we take look at the calender today, the Olympic Games are just around the corner. Has China lived up to [...]
