• Major Day of Winship
  Posted by Leigh Drogen on February 18th, 2010 at 12:46 am, Comments: 0

  You won’t normally catch me doing two things, rooting for stocks (in either direction), or patting myself on the back for making good calls.  But….just as it’s always useful to slap yourself on the wrist for deviating from your trading plan, or making a bonehead mistake, reinforcing sound trading and good achievement is positive and [...]

• Market Getting Extended

  The market ripped higher yesterday slicing through that 20 day moving average like butter.  We ended the day right under the 50 day moving average and this morning the $ES_F is up almost 5 points.  Take a look at the $USDX this morning, it’s surging off a strong level of support, but equities haven’t moved. [...]

  The long weekend has been great, I had a chance to catch up with many of the talented StockTwits community members at the Trader Expo today and the StockTwits happy hour earlier tonight. I’m itching to start trading again after the long weekend and I’m seeing a lot of great setups right now. I’m not [...]

• To Walk the Edge

  My favorite event at the winter Olympics, besides obviously the hockey tournament, is the downhill ski race.  I grew up skiing here in the northeast, which means I grew up skiing primarily on ice.  If not for the fact that skiing takes place in uncomfortably cold temperatures most of the time, I would probably have pursued it as a serious [...]

• Momentum Book Update

  It was a frustrating week for the bears.  Several times it seemed as if all it would take to tip us over the edge was a hand full of sell programs.  After the major hammer from last Friday it seems that the bears have run out of ammo for now.  On the swing time frames, [...]

• In Response – What is Content Worth
  Posted by Leigh Drogen on February 13th, 2010 at 10:07 am, Comments: 0

  I’ve gotten some amazing feedback from the stop crying over your worthless content post, and I really appreciate it, here’s why.  I have two strengths and one main weakness as a writer / thinker.  I am very talented when it comes to producing a well thought out piece of literature when I meticulously put together [...]

• Push Towards the 20 Day

  The market is pushing its way up to test that 20 day moving average on the $SPY.  Don’t be stubborn, take some exposure off when it gets there and wait for resolution.

• Stop Crying Over Your Worthless Content
  Posted by Leigh Drogen on February 11th, 2010 at 9:59 pm, Comments: 0

  I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately regarding content development, content aggregation, and what content is worth.  I’ve got a million ideas washing around in my head, so I’ll try and make sense of a few here, try and stick with me. When I talk about content, I’m not only referring to news or [...]

• We’ve Got Video!

  We’ve got video!  I’m stoked that I’ll be able to bring you guys more ideas now that I can run through charts in this medium, it takes too long to post 15 charts to the blog.  The picture you will see behind me is one of my favorite paintings, by Picaso, it is my own [...]

• Interweb Censorship
  Posted by Leigh Drogen on February 10th, 2010 at 4:42 pm, Comments: 0

  WTF is going on with the internet people!  I’m seeing stories this afternoon about Iran shutting down Gmail in preparation for the anniversary of their so called republic.  Google has all but pulled out of China because of internet hacking and censorship issues there, and now even the Australians have gone crazy and are censoring their population [...]
