Monday after market


Now that earnings season has begun you are likely to find "hot tips" just about everywhere.  Keep your eyes open but do your own due diligence before you commit your capital.

Monday afternoon

... and happy earnings season too.
Yes, it's that time again.  Officially kicking off tonight with AA the scuttlebutt is that earnings will be generally disappointing, lackluster, mediocre, crapola or &%$@!!!

One thing is certain; individual stocks will react and that means trades are there for the perceptive and nimble.  Lots of ideas will be shared here.  Not every one will be right for everybody so be sure you craft your trade to fit your investing/trading style.


Monday morning


Be sure to check out the new "Portfolio - Test" link in the pages section above.  It's a demo of some things that can be done with Google spreadsheets.  Perhaps we could have some watch portfolios, as Ultra suggested on Friday.

If you click on the SYMBOL link in cell A1 of that spreadsheet, you can add your own favorite stocks to the list.  Go ahead, give it a try.  (it can take a minute or so for updates to be reflected in the portfolio spreadsheet)
