BLACKBERRY PICKS A STRANGE WAY TO BEAT APPLE WITH A THOUSAND-DOLLAR PHONE $AAPL $BBRY $T $S $VZ $GOOG

February 12, 2013

An iPhone 5 without a contract is available at Wal-Mart for $649, and for $200 from carriers who demand a two-year contract. So much for iPhone 5’s status of a premier priced phone.

GOLD TRACES BULLISH CHART PATTERN $NEM $SLV $GLD $GDX $ABX $SLW

February 8, 2013

These days there is much debate about the future direction of gold. Fundamentals of gold are muddled. On one hand central banks continue to print lots of money, but on the other, inflation seems to be under control. Under such circumstances when the fundamentals are in flux, one can gain greater insight by turning to technical analysis for guidance. As the chart shows, gold has traced a symmetrical triangle pattern. Many adherents of traditional technical analysis believe that generally a symmetrical triangle is a continuation pattern. Since the long-term trend of gold is up, the symmetrical triangle implies a breakout
