Amazon Fire…err…Amazon (AMZN) Beat Quarterly Earnings for Q4 2011

This is only a prediction, but I’m predicting that the Amazon Fire…err…Amazon (AMZN) Beat Quarterly Earnings for Q4 2011. I’m sure that “BIG WHOOP” is in the top of the things that you’re thinking about this post and there really are only three ways of calling this shot: beat, miss, and dead on.  What makes me so qualified in calling this shot?  Well, I’ll tell you why I think that AMZN beat on earnings. SlingPlayer for Kindle Fire available tomorrow for $30 in the Amazon Appstore. This one innocuous post on Engadget is the reason I believe that Amazon is ...Continue Reading...

Dipped into the TVIX

Well, I’ll probably regret this trade (geez that’s a great way to trade isn’t it?), but I dipped into the TVIX (@ 17.75) this afternoon.  The SPY and QQQ looked like shit for most of the day, and I’ve been working on a little strategy with judging market sentiment.

On another note, EGHT would’ve netted me a nice little profit (and I do mean little) if I stuck to my guns a little better.  This morning EGHT ...Continue Reading...

I’m Back, and I’m Hitting the Reset Button

Well, what did I expect..to knock it out of the park?  I would’ve settled for not losing money, but I guess we don’t always get what we want.  I added ZNGA on what I thought was going to be a continuation of it’s push off of a base, but it was just topping out in the short term.  I’ll keep an eye on it. I’m back trading again, and I’m attempting to repeat my push over the $25k PDT rule.  This time however, I’m starting with even less money; $1000.  I know I can do it as I’ve done it before, ...Continue Reading...
