  • Google (GOOG)- A Bearish Play

    It was an intense sell-off day with down volume accounting for over 90%. All of the major indices have now broken and closed below their September 25th lows and their uptrends dating from the July 8th. Chicago PMI had already provided hints that things aren’t that rosy yet. But hey, who knows. This might be…

  • Is It a Follow Through Wednesday?

    A few days back I mentioned about “show me the volume“; It was no different yesterday in spite of such a huge market rally. And even after what might look like a resumption of the bullish trend, it was no way closer to a 90% upside day for NYSE. So handle with care. Pete of…

  • Thrilling Expiration Friday

    Too much to handle for the week which slowed down the postings this week. What a “Rambo Fed” action that was (I was looking for a picture replacing Bernanke with Stallone but gave up after a few searches). But guess what, was this really surprising, I don’t think so. Uncle Ben has already made this…

  • Pre-Market Losers

    A fantastic day (of course assuming that one embraces volatilities well) for some bearish play. Bearish plays on a bearish day can yield significant returns but one needs to be very careful and should clearly defined entry and exit points well in advance. Before I share the list, pls note that we may play some speculative trades for…

  • POT (+54%), CF (+28%)

    Before market opened I talked about Fantastic Four (POT, MOS, MON and CF) and to keep an eye for bearish strategy. Here are the intraday trading results of the two bearish play I used for my intraday trading set-ups (POT and CF). Though these fell even further, but double digit gains for less than 1…

  • Ospraie to shut flagship commodity hedge fund

    Ospraie, It took 8 years to reach where it was, one of the largest commodities fund. It took nearly (or less than) 8weeks for it to close! According to a news published on Reuters, Ospraie Management LP is shutting its flagship commodity hedge fund after losing 27% in August and almost 40% this year, according…

  • OPNewsletter (Aug’08) : +3.0% (Open)

    Another profitable week for OPNewsletter; both for income as well as speculative directional trades. Even though we increased out investment by 17% (to 48.3%) since last week, our returns also increased from +1.24% to +3.06% this week (including commissions). Considering what happened in the broader markets past week, I am pleased with these results. On…

  • Where is the Bull?

    Amongst all the bearishness in the market you might think there is none except one obvious answer OIL. There are many areas that are just moving up with their own share of correction along the up way. I have been mentioning my “Fantastic Four” for quite sometime. Even since my last post, in just less…

  • Fantastic Four Does it Again

    Mosaic (MOS), CF Industries (CF), Monsanto (MON) and Potash (POT) are my fantastic four of the agriculture and farming sectors. I mentioned those here and then again asked a question about a month ago, when the four were travelling earth from the sky. Whoever has the medicine to manage trading constipation did pretty damn good.…
