Step Inside of my Mind

The 802.11n revolution continues with Atheros Communications, Inc. [[ATHR]] blowing the barn door off of earnings. Fresh reports from China point to continued demand for LCD screens. Aside from the usual suspects, Corning Incorporated [[GLW]] , LG Display Co Ltd. (ADR) [[LPL]] and AU Optronics Corp. (ADR) [[AUO]] , smaller/crazier names are worth a gander (I hate that fucking word and the people who use it). Both Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. [[AEIS]] and MKS Instruments, Inc. [[MKSI]] provide parts to the LCD space and are levered plays off the “front end” of the semiconductor equipment sector (Applied Materials, Inc. [[AMAT]] , Novellus Systems, Inc. [[NVLS]] , Lam Research Corporation [[LRCX]] ).

Another high growth company worth your watchlist is IPG Photonics Corporation [[IPGP]] . They are the market leader in “fiber lasers,” used for industrial purposes. Additionally, they produce a cheap green laser. Remember Microvision, Inc. [[MVIS]] ?

Right now, “Le Fly” is enjoying the luxuries of an egg omelet plastered on his face, thanks to his timely Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [[AMD]] purchases. Nonetheless, like I said yesterday, I did not buy the stock for a day. I am in the stock for at least a quarter. Without a doubt, I will make money on AMD; watch me if you dare.

Into market strength, I like [[RAX]] , General Cable Corporation [[BGC]] and OmniVision Technologies, Inc. [[OVTI]] . I will avoid the banks like the Black Plague and continue to throw slices of ham at my monitor, whenever Flotek Industries, Inc. [[FTK]] downticks 5%.

Top Picks: Corning Incorporated [[GLW]] , OmniVision Technologies, Inc. [[OVTI]] , [[ENTR]]

        The address is 1400 Magic Kingdom Drive (just off Main Street) in Lake Buena Vista and looks like a “fantasyland” castle.
        You can’t miss it.
        But be sure the family isn’t around when you start throwing the eggs.

    You have to NOT hate the banks. You don’t have to love them. However if you hate the banks this entire shitter is coming down on our faces including the omlette. Learn to love the banks!

        No that’s okay… no problem with that as you seem to have nailed it with tech. However the fucking house of cards rests on the banks not getting damaged.

        ———-

        Morgan S was actually an okay result today, considering there was 2.3 billion of bond write up they took asa loss and the tarp money getting repaid.

        Wells Fargo shouldn’t be at all surprising they took a hit in credit quality seeing the vast bulk of their book is in California.

          Dude.. 1/2% move is a fucking rounding error. Stop being so one eyed. A story could come out about Ben Bernanke getting a blowjob from Nancy Pelosi underneath his Fed desk and the nas would could down 2%.

          this level of silliness needs to stop. It’s a professional site for distinguished gentleman.. not some Yahoo chat board.

    Le Tour, damn, anyone remember the movie “Light Sleeper” with Willem Dafoe as John LeTour ? Used to love that guy as an actor, hasn’t done much in the last 10 years that was interesting.. really too bad..

    anyway, for the QCOM earnings players… some tech note:

    Technical Analysis story about QCOM
    BULLISH CASE: On better than expected news/outlook the stock could trade to the upper limit of the bullish price channel at $48.58. On a bullish breakout above the price channel the following resistance levels would become upside objectives: $49.25, $50.28, $51.18, $52.45, $53.91, $56.00.
    BEARISH CASE: On worse than expected news/outlook the stock could trade to the lower limit of the price channel at $46.86. On a bearish breakdown below the price channel the following support levels would become downside objectives: $46.28, $45.88, $45.13, $44.75, $43.97, $43.32, $42.67, $42.03, $41.36. NOTE: Small short-base at 2 days to cover, with 2.5% of the float short. Traders are positioned for positive news.

    I gotta tell ya what reary reary reary looks strong as an ox on steriods. ENTR.

    ENTR doesn’t back off a fucking inch. In currency land this is usually a grotesquely bullish sign and no doubt also for ENTR.

    This little two bit fucker never backs off.

    Where’s all the TA’s telling this is what they see from da charts?

      Sorry about the gram as I don’t proof seeing it’s only a blog.

      take a look at ENTR since April on a chart. It correct.. comes back and goes higher. Each retreat is met with a higher high. This is really bullish.

    I’m fucking 9 months pregnant long Aussie. …….Against straight US and Euro. No kidding here, I’m looking for a move over parity to the Dollar over time.

    Even Gold Sack sorta agree with me in their update this morning…. talking about how the rebound in the Aussie economy looks for real and that the central bank here will be the first cab off the rank raising rates to stem the fast paced growth and consumer demand. They even speak about the raw materials demand from China not being a once off thing and that it’s real. This means the terms of trade move could be quite potent, something that the market is still toying with. When the terms of trade move in the Aussie’s favor and the propensity of the central bank is to raise rates this is fucking enormously bullish. It’s so bullish I’m waking up the better 1/2 and demand sex after I buy some more.

    My Stop on this position is 7580 … its way away but I’m betting for 20 cents….25%.

    It has positive carry too, so it can take its time getting there and I’ll make money on the carry. I’m also prepared to switch over and put the pos against yen too.

    If I had real balls…. the balls of Le fly, I’d mortgage the house, stick the family in slavery for extra cash and put it all on this bet which eventually should pay for two wings of a Gulstream 650 …

    Small and medium sized banks really catching fire.
    Especially STI (SunTrust).
    I assume it’s really moving now as STI is the official Disney World bank and the word has gotten out that Fly is coming to spend $$.

    The countdown begins…. 5.5 more trading days till you need to switch your positions from long to short. In the meantime, I am margined up to my gills in SSO. No reason to try and pick specific stocks when the only thing that matters is the overall market currently. Today will end up, as will every day for the next week. Then lookout below.
