Weekend Reading – November 10, 2007

Calendar November 10, 2007 | Posted by Jorge

Hope everyone’s enjoying their Veteran’s Day holiday weekend. Remember that the equities markets will be open Monday but the bonds market I believe will be closed. Anywho, here’s a short list of articles I’ve managed to enjoy this week throughout the market free fall. Enjoy!

  • Blain on Stocktradingtogo explains why liquid money (oil and gold… pretend the gold’s in a melted form) is much better than the actual US currency, the Peso… err.. Dollar.
  • Dean Reese (I believe the same Dean Reese on Stockpickr.com) posted on the Trading Goddess’ blog regarding the ‘perfect storm’ rally we may be facing with the market this week.
  • I came across Optionaddict.net a few days ago and I have to say I couldn’t be any happier. It’s a great wealth of information and the readers are extremely friendly and helpful. OA recently posted how E-Mini futures work especially as a use for hedging against what we’ve seen recently.
  • Looks like Timothy Sykes, author of An American Hedge Fund, is back in the game with the TIM portfolio and about $12,000 in assets. Yes Tim, it’s awful not being able to day trade. The margin calls on a pattern day trader are scary, at least for folks doing this the first time around!
  • Cheesecake Factory wins $74 million in a lawsuit this week. Why? Some mall didn’t want them as tenants.

Options expiration is this Friday. Festival of Stocks will be hosted here again on Monday as well.  Just a friendly heads up!

  • No one is perfect.

    No one will never make a mistake.

    The bottom line is to lessen the number of them. And imo, that can be done vicariously through the mistakes of others.

    Without reading and learning, we will definitely make more mistakes on our own.

    As cheesy as it sounds, knowledge is power.

    Take the time to reflect, relax and rejuvenate.


    Warm regards.
  • Hah no problem. Same to you. I decided to cash out for a while. Took some amateurish hits the past month so I figured last week was a good week to retreat. No matter how much you read and learn from others, you will make mistakes, even mistakes you've seen or read about from others. Human nature I suppose!
  • "Sir Sykes" - LOL!!!

    I am not sure there will even be a "battle"... hehe He has some catching up to do for the "average". ;)

    Thank you for the best wishes for the upcoming week. It will indeed be exciting!

    Wishing you many greenbacks in your port!

    :)
  • No no, thank you for visiting. It's always refreshing getting a visit from some of the more experienced investing bloggers. I appreciate it!

    I had a feeling it was "the" Dean Reese. At least his information on your site won't get lost in the current Stockpickr whine fest. But anyways, I digress.

    Sorry to see Sir Sykes take over your top spot on FTB's Top Sites! Should be a nice battle between the two of you.

    Good luck this week. May it be more forgiving than the last.
  • Hello!

    Thank you for the link mention! It is appreciated! A

    You are indeed correct - that is "the" Dean Reese of stockpickr fame! :)

    I respect his opinions and experience, and appreciate the hard work he does to educate others, such as myself, so that they may become more profitable and knowledgeable in the stock market.

    Keep up the good work you are doing here. It too is appreciated!

    Happy investing to you!
