The Evil Speculator
It is done – the evil has landed in Madrid. As Spain is a rather catholic country I am sure my descend has the local church on high alert.
The market organizes itself through a process which eliminates the periodic episodes of volatility which occur.

We are at key levels in several of the major indices so I thought it might be a good idea to post a few comments regarding what I am seeing in the Dow Jones Industrials right now. Lets start with the big picture... Above we have a weekly chart of the ETF for the Dow Jones Industrials (DIA).

It is not enough for a company to have lots of assets. Cash is king and stocks with lots of cash generally means that the company is in solid financial shape. It also makes the companies more appealing as takeover candidates, since the acquiring company can use that cash to help close the deal. So what companies are cash heavy?What a wild 18 hours we’ve just had in the Stock Market. All this whipping action caused by competing headlines is wearing down Joe Investor and people are leaving the stock market. Whether it’s macro events or fraud or natural disasters… it seems there are hidden landmines all over the landscape. Wow…where did this come from? This chart is beautiful… and the stock is sporting a 2.75% annual dividend to boot! When the markets are crazy, its easy to get thrown from your plan.

In 2007, Countrywide Financial was being touted by some of the most successful money managers as a well-run company offering solid value and a good prospect for investment. Some of these managers were buying the stock because it was “cheap” with good management.
Today is a classic example of why I have been warning traders not to push the long side of the stock market. When these creeper trends finally break they often generate a crash or semi crash type of profit-taking event.

Slope Of Hope with Tim Knight
Under the circumstances, spot gold is holding up very well amdist a stronger USD and declining equity and commodity markets. Yes, it is a risk-off day, but so far gold has preserved its dominant near-term support lines and levels, which suggests that any lull or reversal in the selling pressure, should work to the advantage of the relative technical "health" of gold. As long as gold holds $1663.50, it should be considered in a very healthy intraday condition.Big Mike's Trading Blog
Well guys, with the end of 2010 almost here I thought I would take this opportunity to make a "final post" in my blog. The forum has completely taken over and it is quite obvious I no longer routinely update this blog, instead spending all my time on the forum.I expect this horizontal time correction in gold to continue with an upside breakout. I will make secondary entries in GLD, IAG, and GG, as well as other gold names during that time. I will exit the remaining 1/4 swing in WYNN today. So far all swing plays (MGM, LVS, WYNN, IAG , GG, GLD, etc.) have either been booked for a profit or are profitable on paper.

In Livevol's newest round of software updates, they've launched yet another groundbreaking tool for option traders. While perhaps not as revolutionary as their 3D Skew feature, the new volatility comparison charts still offer some exciting possibilities. Though there are numerous sources you can go to that offer the ability to compare historical and implied volatility for the same security, I'm not aware of any, save Livevol, who offer the ability to perform relative comparisons on the implied volatility of different securities. While it's true you could view multiple volatility charts side-by-side or one after the after the other to make relative comparisons, Livevol has taken it a step further allowing users the ability to overlay vol charts from several different securities simultaneously.
