10/07/99 the DOW made it over the 10400 yesterday but was down some today this could be the start of a nice run I hope!
11/05/99 The end of the year will present some interesting situations. We have shifted to long term options. Such as March or April calls. This just gives us some time should Y2K jitters cause problems.
11/14/99 The Fed is expected to raise rates this week by 1/4 point. This could cause some unrest in the market. Goldman Sachs in having a internet/tech forum this week those markets could do well.
11/16/99 The fed raised rates by 1/4 point. The market took off! I scalped dish network to day three times for a 1500 gain! This trade is not in the "my trades" section because I do not teach it. I only do this type of trade when it is just to good to pass up! I think that has only happened four times this year.
11/24/99 A lot of mixed stocks today. I have been looking for good buys! Things should settle more on Monday.
12/01/99 I did a quick trade on aol today. The stock was around 72 1/2 I bought some Jan calls for 6 and 30 min later sold them for 7 3/8 when the stock jumped to 76 1/2. These were out of the money Jan 77 1/2 calls. This was a nice little play to do in one day.
02/24/00 The Dow fell through 10000 intra day but is holding so far. If it closes below 10000 then look for a kiss good bye. If is stays it might be a sign of continued weakness.
The Aol timewarner deal got a blessing from Merrill the stock is up off a very low 50.00 . Microsoft is in a very nice spot I will be watching it. AT&T , pfe and dow (Dow Chemical) are also in good position.
02/29/00 I have been watching the following stocks (t pfe aol dow msft amtd egrp dish) all have been in very nice position in the last few weeks. Today dow amtd and t took nice runs. The DJIA ran off the 10000 line, this could be a good sign for the market.
04/03/00 Today’s slam of the NASDAQ was headed by the fall of Microsoft. I feel that It will bounce later this week. The volume of selling of Microsoft stock was staggering 131,062,496 shares. The average volume is 35,397,180 shares. The money however did not leave the market, it went into the Dow 30 and other blue chips. This gave a split market effect! There could be some great buys for now!!!
05/03/00 The market will most likly begin a sideways trading range for some time so look for bouncing stocks. Things tame down for the Summer they have the last few years.
05/10/00 Bear markets the experts say. From what I have seen historically Bear markets only last 6 to 9 months. It is said that they last a year or more. I do not think this is true, sure the market may not be climbing for part or all of that time but it does not fall either it trades sideways.
06/08/00 The Market is SIDEWAYS! I think it will be this way for most of the summer with a slight upward bias. This will provide many chances to play bounces.
06/21/00 The NASDAQ held above 4000 yesterday this is a good bullish sign.
06/28/00 The Fed did not raise rates! This might be good for a run into earnings.
06/30/00 The market had a large surge of volume in the last 15 min. This was due to some window dressing. This happens and the end of a quarter. We have been doing some shorts. These have been kind of fun to do on the down trends in the market. We are trying to find the best way to show them to our students. More will be announced on this later.
07/07/00 The Dow was forming a v compression wedge. I think it poped out of this to the upside today. This might be signs of a slight ralley. The Nasdaq closed above 4000 again this is also a bullish sign.
07/14/00 The markets have been on a nice little run for the last few days. Nasdaq over 4100 and the Dow over 10700. Earnings are looking good and money is flowing back into the market. This is just what we need for a nice Summer climb.
08/17/00 The markets have been doing the sidways move all Summer. Fall comming up may bring techs up for the school season. Sunw and HP have announced 2 for 1 splits. I am looking for a few good plays on them when they dip.We are doing a spread on DISH and also a play on NOK. FNM looks like it might be a short play we will see.
03/12/01 This last Presidential change has had some extreme effects on the market. I am thinking that the Fed may act soon. I do not think it will help. Many companies and people alike over extended themselves durring the low interest times. This means that people have gotten in a bind. Lending has tightened. If the fed does lower rates I think the market will not show as much of a move as the Fed would like. people have over spent. I expect the market to show signs of holding or slow growth in stable areas like oil,drugs, paper the more slow moving groups while the smoke clears. The Nasdaq fell through a critical spot 2000 today. I can't see it going lower then 1500 I think it will hold above 1750. Time will tell.
