I shorted SDS at these levels and so can you!
Nov 19th
I am expecting a snapback rally sometime this week, I believe that as we are at-near closing lows, this may be the best chance you could ever get to go long the market.
I would like to caution that this is a very long term play (years) and also a very short term play (days).
The only ways to be able to get guarenteed returns in this market is to buy United states guarenteed goverment guarenteed securities).
More to come at closing bell, im just informing you all that this may be the time.
EDIT: I am cheering this stock up today, even though i am short, as when we get a 10% rally tommrow, the stock will go down to the 90s
Chart of the day, pick of the day, UltraShort S&P500 ProShares (SDS)
Oct 30th
SDS is once again testing its recent range low, as such, I am reccomending it as a BUY with a sell order waiting for it at 108.49
I will also restate that it is my belief that the market is rangebound for the moment, as such, I am also reccomending taking some of the gains from your long positions and waiting for a better price to occur.
Remember, dont trade with what you cant afford to lose.
Why if you listened to my position on UltraShort MSCI Emerging Mrkts ProShares (EEV) You Made 40%+ today
Oct 28th
If you did win with this trade today, my humble advice to you is to take the trade.
You got a 40% gain off my advice today, I fully expect a sell off day by close of thursday, as such, I am reversing my position on this stock.
Why I would be short UltraShort MSCI Emerging Mrkts ProShares (EEV)
Oct 27th
It is afterall an emerging market, and as such, its much easier to sell at a obvious peek like we have right now, The constant leverage trap is providing you a excellent oppourtunity to make a quick 20% (remember to set out prices, otherwise this one might sting.
P.S. im going to be posting alot less from now on due to work, quit emailing me, it just pisses me off, use the contact me link above.
Why if I was still able to, I would be buying Apple Inc. (AAPL)
Oct 21st
So AAPL is reporting tonight.
My suggestion is that this is a buy the rumor sell the news earnings report, in full reverse of the normal way to play a mac-rumor, I personally believe that no matter what happens to AAPL, the stock will be up 5+% tommrow.
I personally have gotten out of this market, I need to make sure my money is safe, because i may not be able to take out student loans this upcoming semester.
I firmly belive we have bottomed, or why I am holding SSO
Oct 12th
In my opinion, we found a bottom last friday.
It was textbook, the fall in the open on heavy volume, the high that followed. There is even a cup and handle pattern in there.
I expect the dow to be back above 9500 by the end of the month, so I am going to hold my 2x the s&p results etf, sso.
Also, i have gotten emails asking if you should liquidate like Jim Cramer says. I say, no, that would be the very definition of buying high and selling low.
If you are young, just wait it out.
Your medicine for a broken market: Why I bought SSO today
Jul 29th
First off the good news,
I WAS GRANTED MARGIN
That means I can finally go in and out of stocks like I have always wanted to, and in this volitile market, that is the most valuable thing you can hope for.
The market was set for a turnaround and looking at where oil was going I decided that An investment in the S&P 500 was a good idea.
SSO is a double leveraged etf, so if you apply another 2x layer through margin to it you are getting a BROADLY diversified portfolio, yielding 4x the daily result of the s&p 500. You could also short the market 4x with SDS. Now this may seem like a risky move, but lets consider what could concievably happen in a three day period. Lets say the market moves up 1.3% a day. This would mean that SSO would be yeilding 2.6% a day, with compoundment this would mean that you would have yeilded 8% on a regular portfolio. And 16% on a leveraged 2x portfolio. In otherwords, the market retraces less than 3.9% (Which I believe it will.) and you made 16%. Mind you, the exact opposite could happen, so be careful, and ask an investment advisor before doing anything.

So Circuit City Is getting pummled, It is the most clearly manipulated stock out there, and i am losing money, but i truly belive there is going to be some action some time quite soon, so im gonna hang on to it, wish me luck.
So, if anyone wants to comment im up for it.
Also, ive been getting tons of hits from my trip to soho for the get smart event, so if ANYONE wants me to start posting pictures of it, lay some comments down here, and ill consider it, and if i start making some adsense money from these visits instead of just the view and leaves, i might really do it, (dont click on them just because i said that, that would be wrong)
Lehman is undervalued (Full)
Jun 6th
Lehman brothers fell at the end of today, and I unfortunately sold off all but 5 shares (for reasons i cannot explain other than to say I was trying to buy another stock right at the close, come back saturday to find out what it was (i need hits so i can get the adsense revenue). Lehmans value as of a moth ago was 25 billion, if you were to consider this as a base (where it settled to after the chance of drop) then the stock price to account for the 5 billion in share dilution would set the stock price at 37.
For a fighter like me
Lehman seems like it has a bit of fight in it, so im going to promote it, buy lehman at 30 if i can get it.
It could go as low as 28 or 29 or float around 32.25 where i bought it 3 days ago, so if i were you, id be careful.
