- 7/23/2008The big rally in financial stocks may be partly due to short-covering. But it also looks like it may have some strength. I'm putting in stops to lock in profits on 2 stocks.
- 7/21/2008They may not help me this round, but SunTrust Banks and American Eagle are 2 turnarounds with plenty of promise ahead.
- 7/3/2008I'm jumping into shares of Deere, if only to have another dog in the fight. Meanwhile, I'm giving up on MEMC Electronic Materials, a maker of silicon wafers.
- 6/26/2008The Fed didn't act, but don't let that stop you. I've spotted three battered buys: a big financial name, a gambling play and a Chinese restaurant chain.
- 6/19/2008Stocks remain more attractive than real estate, but that's not saying much. Still, there's safety in cash.
- 6/16/2008The Federal Reserve has finally noticed rising prices, which won't do my gold position any favors. But the Fed won't win this fight.
- 6/9/2008I'm taking advantage of a technology stock that's priced to buy, while still holding out hope my solar pick will soon shine.
- 6/2/2008I'm still waiting for soaring oil prices to take a bite out of the market. Meanwhile, I'll buy MEMC Electronic, a stock that should feed off oil's rise.
- 5/19/2008I'm afraid the other shoe is about to drop. I'm selling Nvidia and buying Disney.
- 5/5/2008I'm playing it safe and selling off Goldman Sachs, although there's still room for gains. A buy on Kinross Gold will help hedge my portfolio.
- 5/1/2008I made a lot of money on Wednesday on Buffalo Wild Wings and think cashing in my profit now is a good idea. I'm selling Clorox and Bank of America because their near-term prospects look weak.
- 4/29/2008The tech sector seems to be rebounding, and Nvidia is one of the key stocks poised for nice gains.
- 4/21/2008It's always hard to call the low but very profitable if you call it right. Here's how to make your best guess.
- 4/14/2008The bad news from General Electric looks like just the beginning of a rough earnings season, so I'm moving more into cash.
- 4/11/2008I've made more than 20% on Synaptics in just a few days. I don't want to give up such an easy gain -- especially in a range-bound market.
- 4/7/2008These technology and retail picks fit my strategy -- however, if I were you, I'd look at the bright gleam of gold.
- 4/4/2008I see a range-bound market for a while. That means volatility -- up and down -- and some opportunities for the nimble trader. I'm also setting sell orders on Bank of America and Bebe Stores.
- 3/21/2008The bear market isn't over, but investors appear to have conquered their fear that the worst is yet to come.
- 3/17/2008A patient investor is not going to miss out by sitting in cash until the market bottoms. Still, some hot stocks -- notably metals, agriculture and overseas companies -- can be found if you're daring.
- 3/10/2008I'm buying Bank of America. With conditions, I'm selling Garmin and Google.
- 3/3/2008Bargains seem to abound in this market, but I'm not convinced it's time to dive in just yet.
- 2/25/2008The stock market's recent decline doesn't reflect the reality that I see. So, let's get the market down to a level that makes an investor want to buy. In the meantime, I'm hoping to clean up with Clorox.
- 2/18/2008If the past is any indicator, Americans are likely to keep spending during this economic downturn. I'm betting that undervalued consumer stocks -- namely Buffalo Wild Wings -- will show a profit.
- 2/7/2008Some companies are posting positive earnings amid the market bloodshed. I'm hoping Garmin and Bebe don't disappoint.
- 1/29/2008Recent market drops combined with some help from Washington are creating perfect opportunities for bargains. I've found three stocks that are set to turn around.
- 1/24/2008Underperforming stocks are easy to find right now. The tough part will be choosing ones that quickly turn around.
