3 STOCKS TO BUY THIS SUMMER $TQNT $AAPL $RFMD $WAG $HAL

May 4, 2014

There is a saying on Wall Street, “Sell in May and go away.” Most investors are better off by not selling in May and not going away, and I have three potential plays for them to make. First, let’s take a look at the believers in this saying. They produce all kinds of statistics, which can be manipulated to slant whatever result one wants. There is some truth to this saying, but nowhere near as much as some believe. In some years, investors start the year out very bullish. The exuberance leads to an overbought market by the time May

SYNAPTICS IS A GOOD PROXY FOR INVESTING IN SAMSUNG $AAPL $SYNA

May 3, 2014

Samsung and Apple (AAPL) are the top two players in the smartphone market. I am often asked by individual investors in the U. S. how to invest in Samsung, a Korean company. The best way is to buy Samsung shares in Seoul, South Korea or GDRs in London. In the United States, Samsung shares trade under the symbol SSNLF. These are unsponsored ADRs trading on the OTC market. They have very wide bid-ask spreads, and average volume over the last three months is 10 shares per day. On most days not a single share trades. Given these huge liquidity issues,

UPDATE ON RUBICON $RBCN

May 2, 2014

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change Alert. RBCN is falling on earnings. The thesis behind holding this stock has nothing to do with earnings. Apple is making major investments in RBCN competitor GTAT for sapphire. If Apple introduces a sapphire screen, the competitors may also want to introduce sapphire screens to keep up. Since Apple has already locked up GTAT, RBCN should be the primary beneficiary of orders from Apple competitors. At the time of the previous posts on RBCN, small cap growth stocks were favored by the market. Now the tide has turned. The market hates small

A NEW IDEA ON AVNAIR $AVNR

April 30, 2014

This post was just published on ZYX Short Change Alert. The stock is running up on a patent win. The big move is not justified. Consider shorting up to 25% in tranches in the zone of $4.70-6.30. Mental stop over $7.33. Target $3.50- 4.11. The stock is at $4.77 as of this writing and volatile. Those who can not handle a short squeeze should not enter. UPDATE ON AVNR The stock is halted. Consider waiting for the stock to open , see where it opens and then add. Those who acted right away should have a fill on a 10%

UPDATE ON EBAY $EBAY

April 30, 2014

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change Alert. Overall EBAY earnings are worse than our expectations. Still the plan is to accumulate these shares because of the value of PayPal which is a division of EBAY. Here are the new guidelines. Consider accumulating only 20% of the full core position size in the zone of $48 to $51.35, then consider adding another 20% in the zone of $43 to $45.62. The target zone is $65 to $73. Temporarily no stops at this time. The plan is to accumulate up to 100% in due course. Please make adjustments based on your
