Had the pleasure of joining the Fast Money Halftime crew today. Here’s the segment on $YHOO. For those who follow this blog and StockTwits regularly, you already know my thesis and position.

I have no position yet but am looking to begin establishing one in $INTC over the next few weeks for a long term trade.

The weekend is a great time to back up the lens and take a long term view of the charts we examine so microscopically while the casino is open for business. The following is a collection of weekly and monthly studies from Chartly which do just that. First up, an SP500 monthly via @LuckyElmo21.…

Search is exquisite genius and yet still woefully imperfect as we become experienced consumers of it and understand better what it could be. The race for personal relevance will not slow down but I do believe it will improve, with hiccups, or be disrupted over time. That said, the video below, a Ted talk by Eli…

This tumblog which was created only 4 days ago is quite evocative and gaining a large following quickly. It displays pics sent in from the 1%ers who show support for the Occupy Wall Street movement.
