[Trade Alert] Amazon

August 14, 2017 by Don Roth

Last weeks market pullback was really a one day event, however, Thursday's price action certainly got everyone's attention. I purposefully waited until after today's (Monday) close to write this update to see if the pullback had any serious follow through. It didn't, at least not yet.

My recommendation is to hang tight for a few days before adding to open positions … [Read more...]

Fake News

July 30, 2017 by Don Roth

My news feeds have been yapping all week about a potential top in equities. Some say it's now, some say it's in the fall and some say it's next year. What a load of crap. When are these people going to realize that it is flat out impossible to predict a top, a bottom or whatever. The only thing we can do as investors is manage our risk to limit losses or protect gains. One smart guy said this today..."It's like musical chairs. Keep dancing while the music is playing but dance near the … [Read more...]
