I recently gave a presentation at the Traders Expo. After my talk, someone came up to me and said: Back in August, you were the only person I know who said there would be no Fed taper in September. How did you know? He said everyone in the financial media said there would be a taper and [...]
In the past month, I've had 3 people close to me pass away. The main positive I can take away from this is that you have to let your family and friends know how much you appreciate them every opportunity you get. I moved to New York over a year ago and I didn't know [...]
Over the past few weeks, I've heard people discuss if this current stock market is in a bubble. Every time I hear this, I want to vomit. Here's why: 1) The financial media has nothing to talk about right now. Their job is to scare you so you stay glued to the TV. Think about it, [...]
I've been trading for 18 years. The beautiful part about it is that I am ALWAYS learning. The second you think you know everything and have the stock market all figured out, you're dead! The lesson I am about to share is not a "new" lesson, but rather, one that has been reinforced this year. [...]
Nothing has changed with my Fourth Quarter Game Plan that I outlined on 9/16/13. 1) There will be no Fed taper until next year. 2) The S&P 500 could see +5-7% upside from here, but individual stocks could potentially see significantly more upside.

Get Over [...]
This is an open letter to @jack, @biz, @ev, @dickc, Twitter executives, @fredwilson, and all other Twitter investors. I originally joined Twitter for the porn and free iPad offers (they say start every speech with a joke, right?). I immediately found tremendous business advantages from it. Through @howardlindzon's StockTwits platform, he allows me to share my [...]
I wrote a blog post recently about 5 stocks that could be higher by year-end. I discussed them in this video I did for Yahoo Finance. I received many comments about this post and the most common one was: "How can you pick stocks that have already gone up so much???" Here are my thoughts: [...]
On Wednesday night (8/21/13), I sat down at my desk to start my evening stock screening. An UNUSUAL sequence of bearish events occurred: 1) I went to check email and I received 2 separate notes from clients. The first one said: Thank you for protecting my IRA during this correction so far, please continue to [...]
Everyone on Wall Street knows that Carl Icahn is a billionaire activist investor; but for the longest time, when people heard his name, he was associated with words such as: corporate raider, bully, and ruthless. Earlier this year, something happened that changed all this. He made a few TV appearances that allowed the general public [...]
