Oil and Energy Investor with Dr. Kent Moors Ph.D.192 Lasers Deliver a Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough » Oil and Energy Investor with Dr. Kent Moors Ph.D.



This is an interesting article about the possibility of nuclear fusion being an energy source in the future.  The article discusses Einstein's theory of relativity and why a positive amount of energy can now be produced from a laser reaction.  The investing aspects of this discovery are a long way in the future, but it is something to keep in mind.

Stock Rally Near Probabilistic Sweet Spot [SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust] - Seeking Alpha

Stock Rally Near Probabilistic Sweet Spot [SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust] - Seeking Alpha



Chris Ciovacco has written another great article about how to tell which way the stock market will probably go.  Currently, he is bullish along with me.  He presents some excellent charts of moving averages to prove his points about whether to be in or out of the stock market. He also dropped TLT and added SPY based on his bullish observations.

This is an outstanding article by Cam Hui about predicting the stock market future.  You basically need several charts to get a grip on what could actually happen next in the market, whether it is bullish or bearish.  Cam talks about two important charts to determine if you should be risk-on or risk-off.  Currently, we are not in any immediate danger.


Can the Rally in Biotechs Keep Its Momentum?

Can the Rally in Biotechs Keep Its Momentum?



Here is an excellent article about biotech stocks.  You can quickly get ahead or quickly go broke with drug stocks.  It is certainly a good idea to have at least one biotech company or biotech ETF in your portfolio, but it should not involve more than 5% of your money due to the great risk.  I wish I had watched Biogen (BIIB) over the years.  I can remember when it was less than $50 per share, and now it is over $300 per share.

Twitter Share Unlock Could Cause A 20% Correction - Seeking Alpha

Twitter Share Unlock Could Cause A 20% Correction - Seeking Alpha



Alex Cho has written an outstanding article about the unlocking times for shares of Twitter.  I have been watching the stock, and I believe it will be a long-term winner like Facebook.  The big question is about how low the stock will fall as the unlocking of shares occurs.  Alex did a great service to us by listing the unlocking time table so that we can plan accordingly.



I plan to buy more shares when I think Twitter has fallen significantly. We might be able to use Facebook's pattern as an example.  FB lost 50% of its initial value when the unlocking started and even before then because of uncertainty about the stock's future.  Now, Facebook has fully recovered and is probably on its way to multi-bagger status. I also own FB.  Both of these companies are very useful to people, and I don't want to miss out on future gains.  I will probably be a buyer of Twitter anywhere in the low $40 range.

Molycorp Inc (MCP) news: Molycorp: Poised To Move Higher Still - Seeking Alpha



Here is a great article about Molycorp (MCP) by Jason Bond.  He believes the bottom has been established for rare earth elements, and Molycorp can go a lot higher from here.  I own shares of the company, and I agree with Jason.  The only question is high long it will take.  I plan to buy more shares as we get more visibility about rare earth pricing.  MCP could indeed be a double or triple from here in the next two years.

ProShares Trust II (BOIL) news: Natural Gas Prices At A BOIL, Market-Makers' Rest Of Year Outlook - Seeking Alpha

ProShares Trust II (BOIL) news: Natural Gas Prices At A BOIL, Market-Makers' Rest Of Year Outlook - Seeking Alpha



This is an excellent article about BOIL, a natural gas leveraged stock. Peter Way also discusses how the market makers operate.  He talked about some people quickly taking profits at the top of the trading range along with not holding any position longer than three months. If they can make 10-20% on each trade, the market makers can make 80% per year repeatedly.  These are also highly probable trades rather than waiting for a buy-and-hold pipe dream to take place.

Of course, the ultimate plan would be to allocate a certain amount of money to trading, another portion to dividend stocks, and a third portion for long term holdings.  As long as you keep your trading money and gains separate from the rest of your portfolio, you could get rich on trading alone while being safe mostly with the rest of your stocks.
