The early bird gets the worm, just as the early investor reaps the rewards. Stocks like Himax Technologies (HIMX) may not look healthy at the moment — even with a PEG ratio of 0.55 — but it’s all about buying before the big news. What’s most exciting is the company’s involvement in augmented reality, which can blur […]

It’s a question we’ve all asked. But while there’s still tremendous excitement of the Trump-abilities (sorry!), we have to consider that the markets weren’t just running on that catalyst. The other monster catalysts at the time were corporate earnings. The bad news at the time was that second quarter earnings weren’t likely to match the […]

“I’m kicking myself for not buying bitcoin.  Too bad I don’t have a time machine.” It’s the typical response I hear when I tell people how much they could have made just since 2017 began, let alone what they could have made when it traded at pennies in 2012. But let’s just say not many […]

Traders thought we’d […]

If you want to be a millionaire, that’s great. I wish you all the best of luck. But you won’t get there if you don’t take the time to learn, practice, or even allow emotion to dictate how you trade.  It takes discipline in the end.  Without it, you’ll never reap the rewards that many […]

It’s that time of the year again. We make our New Year’s resolution to shed weight after gorging ourselves on food between Thanksgiving, the office parties, and the December holidays. We begin to feel fat and get upset when clothes no longer fit. Then we promise ourselves next year will be different. We’re going to exercise. We’ll go […]
