Nigerian tensions increase and the Dow eludes 13K

April 23, 2007

Monday brought a narrow range digestive day across the broader markets. Nasdaq, S&P 500, and the Dow all closing red on the day, giving a lighter volume pullback on a very small range. The Dow managed to elude the 13, 000 mark that it is eying. I think this is more psychological [...]

The 4th bi-weekly stock contest is now officially in full force as we brought in entries all over the finance blogosphere this past weekend.

Since this morning I woke up pumped up to eat a bowl of Wheaties, I’ve

he is my idol and from the age of 15 when I first started actively
trading was my hero. Enough of that though, [...]

Can Monday bring the markets in for a pullback?

April 22, 2007
