Just a quick word before the market opens this morning for the first time in 5 days and after Hurricane Sandy. If you have been directly affected by the hurricane, do yourself a favor and take it slow wading back in to risk. I’m talking to market participants here who had a very difficult…

The $NYT and the WSJ ($NWS) announced that they would drop the pay walls for today and allow the masses to behold their premium news content for free. Let’s think about this behaviorally for a sec: On a big hurricane news day, when each content portion is more valuable, the WSJ & $NYT are…

There are few chartists I admire more than Richard Blades (@rsblades) on StockTwits. He’s a pro who has been studying equity price behavior for over 25 years.

Earlier this year I posted mystery charts $WMT & $GOOG at various times. I didn’t mention what the charts were but both were very long term with monthly or annual intervals. I love these long dated charts because they give me perspective of the asset’s historic price behavior. At the time both $WMT & GOOG had…
