Fun Operating in the Shadows

In life, sometimes it pays to be a bit shady. While there are tons of good, decent people out there, there are also some people who check in every so often merely to learn of your intimate personal business and then disappear until the next go-round.  When I was a kid, a very wise man once told me that the best way to fend off intrusive,...

Creating a Temple of Doom for Shorts

Heavily-shorted stocks still seem to be putting quite a bit of duress on their respective short-sellers, as a general proposition.

Still Bullish on Twitter for the Long Run

This will be a topic of analysis I will flesh out in more depth soon for VIP Members when I give my regular long-term portfolio update. However, TWTR remains a long-term holding of mine and has since the $16 handle a few years back.  While I recognize the last few quarters have been a long slog sideways, at best, for bulls and new especially...

Locked Horns

At first blush it appeared as though shares of TSLA finally coming back down would be ignored by the broad market, given the opening gap higher.
