Being stuck in New england working too much I guess that I missed the weather in the rest of the country. Had I read the following when it was published on Dec 2nd maybe I would have been in IYE sooner.

Best, Worst Energy and Natural Resource Funds:

"Blame it on the weather. This year's unexpectedly calm hurricane season has made meteorologists seem more like economists. Now the weather system that held crude oil prices down from September through late November as unseasonably warm temperatures prevailed has buried half the country in a blanket of snow, and prices are headed higher again. "

Sold you at $98.30 on 11/20 cause the winter was so mild. Surely you were due for a pull back. Then the next day you were,.... above $100, and ten days later you were above $105.

What did I miss IYE?

Your 10, 20 and 50 day ema's are all climbing, MACD had a slight dip and has recovered, slow and fast stoch. says you are moving back to oversold. Is there still time to buy into this bull move?

I'm pulling the trigger and saying yes.

(Wheres the link to my trader account?)

I have been telling people lately that I thought GOOG was overpriced and to sell what they owned. Was thinking about Yahoo's recent leaked memo about cutting the workforce and then I saw the following article:

Paul Kedrosky's Infectious Greed: Why YHOO Will Outperform GOOG in 2007:

• Yahoo needs to grow earnings faster than Google to regain investor interest


• It can do that by cutting costs, growing audience, acquisitions or improving monetization (or some combination of all four)


• It is easier to drive monetization than to increase audience markedly, and acquisitions are a mug's game without better monetization tools. Cutting costs is a non-starter.


• Yahoo trumps Google on total audience, as well as page views


• Yahoo's monetization is about to improve (to some degree) because of Panama


• It is easier for Yahoo to make a significant improvement in monetization than it is for Google.


• Google's monetization engine works well, while Yahoo's doesn't. It's always easier to get a big change from a crummy start position than it is to make a big change from a great start position.
  
• Yahoo's stock is hated, while Google's is loved.


• Yahoo will outperform Google (and the market) in 2007

All good points. Time to put the technical indicators back on Yahoo and look for some buy signals.

Every one wants to make lot of money on stock market, but it’s really hard to predict future. When the market opens, hundreds of people are seen fast moving about shouting and gesticulating to one another, staring at monitors, and entering data into terminals, or busy on cell-phones on the exchange floor. It looks like a complete fiasco. However, by the time the end of the day approaches, the market has worked out all the trades, and is all set for the next day.

There are many ways to improve your “game”. You can shop for undervalued companies, find stocks that have price-earnings ratios significantly lower than those of their peer group, watch for bad news. Wall Street often overreacts to bad news such as missed earnings, which will drive a stock lower than it should go. Pick the jockey, not the horse. Find out who is running the company and where the executives worked previously. Look for strong balance sheets. Companies with low debt loads, positive cash flow and consistently good earnings are good prospects. Check out the portfolios of successful mutual-fund companies. If they are getting great returns year after year, they are holding stocks you might want to buy. Know when to cut your losses. You want to invest for the long term, but you don't want to stick with a consistent loser. Work hard. Do research. Read financial news. Study quarterly and annual reports as well as registration statements, looking for trends and opportunities. Grill your broker. If the broker is recommending XYZ stock, ask for a detailed explanation, with an eye to growth prospects and historical performance.

There are many tools on internet which can help you . One of them is http://www.stockcharts.com it’s a good site where you can find updated stock charts with many indicators. It’s totally free and website has a nice clean interface.

If you are interested in commodity charts you should visit http://futures.tradingcharts.com
It’s free and has all commodity charts. You can view them in java applet or as graphic charts. Remember commodities controls market too it’s important to know what’s going on there too.

There is another very good site called http://www.TheBluePortfolio.com which has top ten best stocks for your portfolio every day. I love this site because it helps me save a lot of time on research and they have portfolio which I can trust, beside its totally free. The idea of the site it’s simple and brilliant. Every member of TheBluePortfolio.com site has private portfolio with only one stock in it. He tries to make the most of it. He can sell or buy stocks on daily basic. Than theblueportfolio.com create "Blue Portfolio" based on advanced average from all portfolios from all “Blue Members". The "Blue Member" is a member it top 20% of all members with the of the most effective portfolios. Access to the ”Blue Portfolio" have only "Blue Members" and this is the reason why people try their best to become “Blue Member” and they concentrate only on one stock instead of all stocks in their portfolio .

For real-time news I go to http://finance.yahoo.com. At Yahoo! Finance up to date news from many sources and also you have stock quotes and you can use nice portfolio management application.

Next good site is http://www.whispernumber.com. It is an independent financial research firm that collects sentiment and market expectations from the investment public. The "whisper number" found on WhisperNumber.com is derived from an average of individual investors' expectations regarding earnings for the most recent quarter. The whisper number is available to the general public and is considered an alternative to analyst estimates (or consensus numbers) for quarterly earnings. The company also gathers whisper numbers for monthly economic expectations data from investors, and publishes market sentiment data on US & Global Stock Markets, bonds, sectors, ETF's, currencies, and all major commodities in the metals, energy, and agricultural groups.

And you can also check http://briefing.com/ They provide live analysis of important news events of the day, with insight on what they mean for the market or individual securities. Most research and analysis currently available to investors is produced by investment banking firms, which have an inherent conflict of interest. These firms are often referred to as "sell-side" for the simple reason that they profit from the sales of securities. Clearly, it's difficult to offer objective analysis of stocks when your company's profits are based on the sales of these same stocks. Briefing.com does not take any market positions and makes no money through financial market transactions it has an objective and unbiased approach to its analysis

I hope that those sites will help you a lot. So don’t waste time ! Start making big money !

If you are searching for a Stock trading Tip this is the place you need to be. Investing tips come from everywhere and from all sources. From people you over hear talking in the store, the taxi driver, to the so called experts on the television.

When we are in a definite bull market, and it looks like the stock market will never go down no matter what, you can close your eyes and point at a stock symbol at a list of stocks in the wall street journal, and come out with a winner.

Tips can come from an article you read in a newsletter or a paper. Most of the time, by the time you read about it, the stock has already made it's big move. That is when the big boys start taking their profits and sells to the small investors who end up losing money because the price starts to come down.

Sometimes a stock trading tip comes to you as a pump and dump. With the penny stocks it does not take much money to buy a large amount of shares. They will then start talking about, or writing newsletters about how good (pump) the company is just to get people to start buying the stock, and at the same time they are selling (dump) their shares.

If you are investing your money in the stock market because of a tip you got, there is a good chance you are going to lose your hard earned money. Yes you might get lucky a couple of times, like in a strong bull market, but in the long run you will eventually lose all your money that you set aside for investing.

The best stock market trading tip you will ever get is going to be right here. Do not invest in any stock, on any tip that you hear!!! Do not put your money in any investment blindly, do your homework. Many beginning investors in the stock market will feel that they have to make this trade, in order to make a killing. They are afraid the train is going to leave without them. They don't want to be left out of the big move.

There is no reason to be buying into any stock you got a tip on right away. there are thousands of stocks to invest in. Let the price of the stock come to you, do not go chasing a stock.

Learning how to invest in stocks is not as hard as it may seem, but it does take some education, just like learning anything in live. Take the time to educate yourself, there are many Stock Trading Books to read that will get you going in the right direction. Read them, study them, study the market, practice trading on paper. Take the time to learn how to invest, you will not be sorry that you did. The stock market is not going anywhere, it's been here for a long time, and will continue to be here for a long time to come.

Soon the only tip you will be listening to will be coming from the knowledge that you have learned, and that is the best Stock Trading Tip that you can get.
