INVESTMENT PLAYS FROM CONGRESSIONAL TOUGH TALK ON CHINA

October 9, 2012

A congressional committee hints that China may be spying on your phone calls and emails. Spying may be accomplished through the software code and telecommunication equipment manufactured by two large Chinese firms. On October 8, 2012, Chairman Mike Rogers and Ranking Member C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence issued the Investigative Report on the U.S. National Security Issues Posed by Chinese Telecommunications Companies Huawei and ZTE. The clear message from the 52-page report written in polite and politically correct language, perhaps not to alienate China, is that two major Chinese telecommunication equipment companies, Huawei and ZTE, may be

APPLE CHART TRACES DREADED PATTERN

October 9, 2012

The Apple (AAPL) stock chart has traced the dreaded head-and-shoulders pattern. This is a well-known and well-followed reversal pattern in traditional technical analysis. As shown on the chart, the pattern consists of a left shoulder, a head, and a right shoulder. In Apple, the left shoulder was formed when the price pulled back from about $680 to about $660 in an ‘outside day’. An outside day is another reversal pattern. Please see “Dangerous Apple chart pattern into iPhone 5 launch.” The head was formed when the price moved above the peak of the left shoulder and subsequently fell down close to the

ROMNEY HAS IT WRONG, COAL IS A SELL AND TESLA IS A BUY

October 8, 2012

There is no shortage of absurdities in our world. In the first presidential debate last week, Gov. Mitt Romney added two more. “I like coal. I’m going to make sure we continue to burn clean coal. People in the coal industry feel like it’s getting crushed by your policies,” Romney said to President Obama in Wednesday’s debate. First, there is no such thing as clean coal. Clean coal is a trade term to describe methods and technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of coal to generate electric power. Although I am not currently involved in any clean

GOLD AND SILVER SEEM TO LOVE MITT ROMNEY BUT WHO KNOWS WHY

October 5, 2012

During the presidential debate on Wednesday in Denver, every time Gov. Mitt Romney seemed to score a point on President Barack Obama, gold futures ticked higher. At points when Obama seemed to be recovering, gold futures ticked down. As the debate ended and gurus, even on MSNBC, started proclaiming Romney the winner gold futures spiked. After establishing a quick pattern of a higher high and a lower low, gold futures rocketed around 2:00 AM ET. The buying was very aggressive. There were three significant news items in the morning: the Bank of England’s rate decision, the European Central Bank’s rate decision, and

GOLD RUN ON ROMNEY WIN DEFIES LOGIC

October 4, 2012

Gold is running on the Romney debate win as the momentum (momo) crowd is getting excited and aggressively buying. The momo crowd favors Romney. The logic be damned. It is indisputable, in my opinion, that a Romney win is bad for gold and silver. Why is that? Romney has clearly expressed that he will fire Bernanke; of course, he cannot literally fire Bernanke, he simply means that he will not reappoint Bernanke as the Fed Chairman. The premise behind the momo crowd buying gold and silver is Quantitative Easing (QE) engineered by Bernanke. If Romney wins, QE will be short-lived.

PLAN ON THC

October 4, 2012

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change THC is a hospital chain that will benefit if Obama wins but will be hurt if Romney wins. Partial profits have already been taken on 30% of the position. The plan is to continue to steadily take partial profits unless the political situation becomes clearer. At this point it is difficult to tell who will win. From a fundamental perspective THC will benefit even if Romney wins, but this will not be the perception on a Romney win, therefore the stock will get hurt. In such an instance, a big down dip
