Weekend update: Possible Monday Surprise

I just had to post this. It looks like we could get a bounce in the ProShares Technology Fund on Monday. There is some buzz building on Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive return. The company is having their annual developer conference starting Monday, and according to industry watchers an appearance by Mr. Jobs would give Apple's stock a bounce by 1 to 5%. Apple Inc. is is one of the larger holdings in the ProShares Tech Fund and if the news hold true could push the fund's share price over the $33 range, or maybe not.

If you are interested in trading in this fund, would like a prospectus or have a question concerning this fund call me for a free no cost consultation at 770-572-2715. Please note: You should seek professional advice before implementing any of the strategies discussed herein, since: (1) The strategies are general in nature and will not apply to every situation; (2) Other opportunities may be better suited to your particular needs; and (3) The rules and regulations are constantly changing.

At least it wasn't negative. There is buying. As a matter of fact, buying has almost doubled compared to inflow numbers reported in May. I also noticed that Equity Foreign Funds had a larger percentage increase than other categories while Taxable Bond Funds had a noticeable percentage decrease in inflows as compared to the previous periods. Interesting. Are in...

The Old Reality is Still the New Reality

The Old Reality is Still the New Reality  Dodd Frank Illustration   I sat at my desk last week wondering what went wrong. Was I experiencing some type of trading depression? I checked my models, macro numbers, company profits, software, pricing etc. Some of my option contracts were either worthless or were on their way to being worthless.   The pricing of the contracts were not in-line with the actual underlying price of the securities that I was trading. The options' pricing per contract were either priced 40% or more above what the underlying security was worth or priced 40% or more below what the securities were worth. This old reality was still the new reality even after all of financial fixes implemented to fix these same problems that contributed to the financial meltdown in 2007-2008.   The new Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and ConsumerProtection Act which was supposed to clean up many of the abuses in the financial system such as accountabi...
