The stock started to stumble and now has fallen about $200. The lesson for investors is that money in technology stocks is neither made by focusing on traditional fundamental analysis such as P/E ratios,

Candlestick or OHLC chart displays make it easy to see. In the context of where it occurred on the chart, this is a bullish key technical reversal in gold. The chart shows the pattern on gold futures. Silver futures traced a similar pattern. Popular ETFs SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) and iShares Silver Trust (SLV) followed. As illustrated on the chart,

January 15, 2013

In stock trading, twin practices have coexisted for ages. First, a large number of investors enter stop-loss orders to protect themselves. Second, such stop-loss orders become sitting ducks for some professionals. In the past, it was a common complaint that market makers and brokers tended to run the stops. These days hunt-and-destroy algorithms have evolved to run down the stops. Such algorithms simply try to guess where the stops are grouped, and if stops are hit, the algorithms take advantage, first, by short-selling and then buying to cover. The complexities are overly simplified here to illustrate the point. Apple Is
