Economists were blown away by the January nonfarm payroll numbers, announced on Friday. Some 257,000 jobs were added the previous month, holding the headline unemployment figure at 5.7%. Far more important were the revisions for earlier months, which saw December increased to a robust 329,000 and November bumped up to a breathtaking 423,000. These numbers

1) Dump all hubris, pretentions and stubbornness. It will only cost you money. 2) The market is always right, even if all the prices appear wrong. 3) Only buy the puke outs and sell the euphoria. Do anything in the middle, and you will get whipsawed. 4) Outright calls and puts are offering a better

This is a stock that could double by the end of 2015. Buy a great performing stock in the top performing sector on a 10% dip. The stock has over reacted to an earnings report that was fantastic; but carried conservative forward guidance, based on expected future pricing pressure on its blockbuster Hepatitis C drugs,

The blockbuster for me in President Obama?s budget speech on Monday was his suggestion that the 30% alternative energy investment tax credit be made permanent. All solar stocks, including front-runners Solar City (SCTY), Sun Edison (SUNE), and SunPower (SPWR), rocketed on the news. Now slated to expire at the end of 2017, the tax break
I used to begin my pieces about residential real estate talking about the broker I found hanging from the showerhead at an open house. That didn?t really happen. But from 2008-2012 conditions were so dire that it could have. That is clearly not the case any more. The market has been on fire for the

I?m really glad I watched the Super Bowl yesterday. Not only was it a great warm-up for next year?s championship game, which will be in my hometown of San Francisco. I also witnessed the worst coaching call in football history. The Seattle Seahawks had the game in the bag. All they had to do was
At yesterday morning?s opening bell, we were greeted with the unmistakable evidence the stock market is technically breaking down. The Dow Average has broken its three-year upward sloping trend line. Market leading sectors, like Consumer Discretionary and Financials have all put in eminently convincing ?Head and Shoulders? tops (click here). More distressingly, the head and
Really enjoyed the Chicago lunch with you, Jim and the guys from Toronto. My trading improved just from the two-hour lunch seminar. Looking forward to coming in the spring if you do another Chicago lunch. Thanks, Rich Detroit, Michigan

It seems that the harder I work, the luckier I get. Last week I made a bet that companies with a high share of international business would be punished severely during earnings season. Specifically, I picked QUALCOMM (QCOM), the San Diego based maker of processors for cell phones, tablets, and laptops, because it had the
