DISQUS

Corey,

This is a very interesting post. I completely agree with you when you said that it is easy to dismiss the gain on bad news as something that happens once in a while, but it certainly does happen more than most people think. The homebuilders are the very best example you could possibly use. Nice site, I'll keep checking in.

Verizon clearly saw that from a business standpoint it simply couldn't allow Apple and AT&T to take market share with the success of the iphone. I wrote about this on my blog as well

I believe the magnitude of this commodity surge has likely shocked the Fed. There will certainly be some ramifications if this continues for very long. Frozen concentrated orange juice jumping by that much? If that isn't a sign of commodities strength I don't know what is. Nice charts!

Good technical analysis of the current markets. I agree with you, the technical picture is unlikely to change until September 18th, when stocks will likely make a large move in one way or another.

Being a mainly fundamentals investor I am not too much of a technical charts person, but I am surprised that you believe the market will test its highs again soon, that seems to be a contrarian view. Today's market was very weak, closing at the lows, I wonder if we might see some more selling before we head back to those highs.

This is an interesting article. Peter Lynch touches on this issue in his books as well. The idea that you can be wrong most of the time and still come out ahead doesn't get too much publicity, but it is true.

I like the list. The first one on the list best fits me. I decided I wasn't going to sit back and just be upset every time the price of gas went up, so I profited from it!
