Bookkeeping: Short Netflix (NFLX)

I am employing the same strategy I did for ITT Educational (ESI) [Jan 22: Bookkeeping: Short ITT Educational] with Netflix (NFLX); in that case a stock gapped strongly after earnings, created a "gap" in the chart and came back to fill it. If I could keep track of so many positions I'd actually want to go long at the gap... these chart set ups are perfect for that (once the gap is filled, go long young man!) as ESI has flown higher since it filled the gap.

54 Stocks Returning 15%+ in January

As we exit the worst January ever, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the best performers of the past month. Before we do, courtesy of Dshort.com this is a chart that has been passed around a lot in the investing community so I thought I'd share it. Two ways to read this - of the 4 great bear markets the past 100 years, 3 "ended" roughly where we are now... about a 50% loss in value from peak. That's the bullish view i.e. "can't get worse than this" and if we fall to S&P 750 (November lows) but never break through they will be correct.

The bearish view is - the 4th bear ...

Adult Education Charts Wreck the Curve

The love affair with adult re-education is starting to get a bit out of hand; Thursday was ITT Educational's (ESI) turn. Granted nice earnings, but the chart has turned parabolic.
