Today I bought ATPG – ATP Oil & Gas Corporation at $12.58. Why, I’m not sure. I guess I liked it’s chart. This stock was a “z Stock” back in March of 2009. It doubled then. The last three quarters it has been in the $15-20 range. Right now the Market seems to want to [...]

I had a late, late afternoon thought (4pm PST). Why not buy some AAPL – Apple, Inc. and get a piece of the new iTablet or iSlate or whatever they are going to call it? Earnings are out today after the close (they were good) and Apple is rolling out new product(s) at 10:00 am [...]

Yep, today I bought some GMCR – Green Mountain Coffee Roasters at $63.45. GMCR is at the bottom of it’s 3 month 100% Regression Channel, so we will give it a whizzzzzz.

Today I also bought some LZ – Lubrizol Corporation at $67.91. Things were looking okay as I bought LZ and DRYS, but directly after the market sold off leaving things with an air of another drop. So I may not have these positions for long if things don’t perk up in the morning.
