The Carry Trade Is Now In Trouble

Posted on December 9, 2009 at 3:29 pm

H/T Zero Hedge Submitted by Yves Lamoureux of Blackmont Capital I don’t share the recent stock optimism as the tail is wagging the dog. The higher the stock index goes the greater the number of bulls and the greater the amount of decimated bears. Those burned bears will not be adding to the buy side at lower prices to cover shorts.

AONE Two Three Again

Posted on December 8, 2009 at 3:20 pm

Scott Redler of T3Live.com On November 17th, we initiated a long position in AONE at around $14.75 per share, with a stop below that day’s low of $14.31. After a strong showing that day, the stock slowly trickled down to within striking distance of our out.
