APPLE’S BILLION-DOLLAR PATENT REJECTED BUT THE WAR IS NOT OVER

December 20, 2012

In litigation with Samsung, Apple declared its Patent No. 7,844,915 as the most commercially valuable of the three multi-touch patents that Samsung was accused of violating. In my view, this patent is absolutely necessary for Apple’s pinch-to-zoom feature claims against its competitors. It is old news that Apple won a $1 billion award against Samsung. What’s new is that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has rejected the patent that Apple considered most valuable, rejecting all 28 claims of this patent. Here is the abstract: At least certain embodiments of the present disclosure include an environment with user interface software interacting with

BANK OF JAPAN DELIVERS THIRD STIMULUS SHOT IN FOUR MONTHS $EWJ $YCS $FXY $JOF $JEQ

December 20, 2012

This post was just published on ZYX Global Multi Asset Allocation Alert. Our subscribers are now sitting on decent gains in our two Japan related positions. Most subscribers purchased YCS in the high $30s and now it is around $48. Most subscribers also have about 8% gain in EWJ. Today the Bank of Japan (BOJ) delivered the third stimulus shot in four months. The BOJ expanded its asset buying and lending program to 101 trillion yen, an addition of 10 trillion yen. There was some disappointment in the markets because the BOJ left its inflation target at 1%. Shinzo Abe, whose party won Sunday’s elections by a land slide,

December 20, 2012

Since we have already booked huge profits on silver positions over the last several years, we are willing to take the risk of holding the remaining silver position short even though a short-term bounce is possible due to very over sold conditions.

WHY GOLD AND SILVER FALLING AGAIN $GLD $SLV $SLW

December 20, 2012

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change Alert Yesterday evening after the fiscal cliff talks broke down, the momo crowd successfully ran up gold to over $1671 but could not overcome the micro resistance at $1672. Gold fell back under $1669 and the momo crowd tried to run it up again. When the run up failed the second time around $1671, the Smart Money slammed it from the short side. Gold traded as low as $1653 and is now trying to recover. Silver simply followed gold. Our short-term rating on silver is negative and on gold it is mildly

GETTING A GRIP ON PERVERSE LOGIC OF GUN SALES $RGR $SWHC $OLN $CAB $DKS $WMT

December 19, 2012

My heart goes out to the victims, the families and friends of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Out of respect for the victims and their families, I neither traded nor recommended a trade on gun stocks since the tragedy. After all making money is the last thing on our minds at this difficult time. It was obvious on Friday that a lot of money could be made by short selling gun stocks, but my emotions were too raw to make money from this despicable crime. We Americans have a tradition of picking up after tragedies and
