What a YEAR!

This year, especially the second half has been filled with ups and downs. The market was steady for the first half, but then the second half was filled with much volatility as the credit and housing crunch unfolded. Many are wondering what 2008 will bring for the stock market. Housing is still expected to face further declines, as many markets that experienced the boom, are experiencing a bust. Not a bad deal for those whom may be in the market for buying. RIMM had another greatquarter, doubling sales. Wow, RIMM has been on a tear. I have also seen where the overseas market has faced increased demand of BlackBerry products and there is little no slowing in sight.Crude is steadily approaching $100 a barrel as demand and supply concerns increase.

Will the financial sector still continue its downward trend. Giants such as Bear Sterns, BSC, and Citigroup, C have tanked this year. Some think that a recession is a strong possibilty next year. The market will also feel the effects of a major presidential campaign that is going on right now. Who will be in office, Democrats or Republicans and what effect will that have on the market.

Either way, 2008 we bring volatility and always, trading opportunities. Happy New Year and stay tuned as www.freeoptionspick.com will add a few features which will yield more picks and alerts . For those not currently Platinum members, you may want to sign-up very soon, because $4.95 a month wont last long.

Happy Holidays and all the bestfor 2008!

Another Down Day

We see that the market has experienced another down week and it is hard to tell if this is the beginning of a bear market or a bull market which has entered into rest. Recently Citi was downgraded on fears of CEO payout and the risk and cost included in acquiring a new CEO. Their is also fear that Citi's losses will spread to other divisions such as credit cards and retail banking. For more information on Citi: http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/goldman-says-sell-citigroup-amid/story.aspx?guid=%7BF0EC293B%2D5D07%2D4C83%2DAA9D%2DE86C868136C6%7D

Keep your eye n E-trade as a potential buyout. At this price many other competitors may be looking at acquiring the one time giant. Consolidation is not always a bad thing.

With the market volatility some options are getting creamed. In this market if you are not sure and have a clear reason beyond a hunch for entering a trade, you may want to sit and watch until the market direction is clear.

Till next time.

Trading

Trading can rattle anyones nerves if they dont know what they are doing. In this type of market, do you see bargains, or overvaluation?Many will sway back and forth battling between the two, but ultimatley the market always rebounds. What makes a good trader is one whom does not get rattled by the up and down of the market, but has a clear stop loss and profit target in mind regardless of what anyone says. Remember to try to stay calm and trade with written targets .

Oh, by the way, pigs ALWAYS get slaughtered!

Till next time.

WOW

Market got killed today. Is this another 1987 crash??? Many are afraid that the market has pulled back way too much, some say not enough. This could just be a GREAT time to shop for the stocks you could not buy at higher prices.Stay tuned as the next few days could be bumpy.

Oil is skyrocketing. $100 a barrel coming right up. Look for plays on OIH.

GOOG, SNDK, Black FRIDAY?

GOOG reported great revenue, this tock is on the move. It recently hit a $658 high and looks liker there is no end in site. How much can GOOG run, $1000, $2000, $3000?? I cannot imagine how much it will be in the net 10 years Until then, either you are in or out? I remember when this stock was in the $400's a few months back.

SNDK on the other hand was down 15% due to outlook concerns for future growth. The huge down day did not help this stock either.

Did we have a Black Friday yesterday. The market was down over 300 pts. Earnigns have not been that good as Bank of America posted earnings that were pretty low. The credit issues and oil hitting new highs have been new concern. I my opionion thethe market was ue for a pull back and that is what we experienced. Is it a bear?? I guess we will have to wait and see. The next few weeks will be interesting as we have more economic news coming out and the FED will dcide on rates in a few weeks. Up this week is BIDU, ,NTRI and a few key stocks. NTRI has went from $70 to $29 in a matter of a few weeks. Will it move up? We will have to wait and see. Till next time.

Credit Woes, YHOO & GOOG Earnings

The housing and credit issues are once again on the plate of the Wall Street market. We see that although we have received recent band-aids such as a drop in interest rates, some things will just need TIME to work themselves out. The FED will show their card on the 30th of Oct. and we will see if another drop in rates is due our way.

On the other hand YHOO and GOOG are set to report this week. As for YHOO is went up to around $28 and is now retreating with the market. GOOG made a recent run up to the $620's but has also eased off. Some analysts have a $700 target but with the recent move to the upside, earnings will have to be HUGE to move this puppy past that mark again for now with the market retreating. I just dont know what else they can say at this moment.

Another day on the Street. Gotta love the unpredictability! Till next time.

The Market, RIMM,GOOG, AA

Last week, surprisingly, the market ran, up another 50+ points. Many, including myself were under the impression, that we were bound for a pull back last week, that did not happen. As we can see, many are still buying, but is it time for a pull back?Do we need some healthy profit taking to take place? I and many others seem to think so. Then again, that is why the market is THE MARKET, it does what it wants and when.

We saw that RIMM had very good earnings and jumped up a few points, based on increased subscribers and they made a ton of revenue. It is crazy to think this stock had a split and still ran back to $100+.

Tomorrow Alcoa AA, will report to kick off the earnings season. We will have to wait to see what companies guidance will be for the remainder of the year.

Finally Google, GOOG, broke through $600, where else can this go. Could this be the next Berkshire Hathaway??

FED

So we see that the FED has cut the interest rate by a half point, which allowed the market to bouy a little higher, almost touching that 14k+ point previously reached. But the market pulled back today on earnigns and other news. We hear recession all over, but is that really where we are heading? Can we break this 14.2k resistance? It is times like these were you should have some protective puts in pace, just in case, things go south on you. Check out more information at www.freeoptionspick.com

On another note oil hit $83, but analysts say that we will not be affected at the pump due to decreased demand going into the winter. We have a close eye on stocks like SUN, which is really up there but may take a breather soon.

Till next time,

Can this Last?

Come September 18 regardless of what the FED does can this run last to push through 14k? We hope so, becasue a lot of retirement funds are wagering on this run. For those whom want some insurance, they should try looking at purchasing puts on there equity positions. This will decrease overall risk as well as provide a hedge. For more information check out http://www.freeoptionspick.com/ and http://www.stockoptionseducation.com .

Today we see that RIMM unveiled new colors for its Blackberry Pearl that is focused on the consumer market. The stock is running today. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=rimm and is close to new highs. WOW, what a stock. NTRI is also on the move, attempting to fill a gap as they present at a CITI group conference. These two stocks seem to be headed now where but UP! Stay tuned.

What a Market!

These past few weeks have been full of volatility, volatility, volatility. But the largest question in investors minds are, "What is the FED going to do on Sept. 18?". Will they cut rates or not? I feel that if they do not cut the rates the market will decline beyond the 13k mark, which would not be good. However if they bring rates down, the market will run to possibly the 14k and beyond mark. Either way make sure you check www.freeoptionspick.com for the call and/or puts that can help for direction. What are your thoughts about this FED meeting. Feel free to post. Till next time.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE

The market jumped pretty nice today, as we see many invesotrs buying up and bargains that were left. We think this market will continue to move upward, especially if the FED lowers rates. Stay tuned and check us out daily at www.freeoptionspick.com
