AAPL earnings 1/24/12

Apple's earnings are coming up on 1/24/12.  According to Yahoo finance the mean price target is $508.  What's your opinion on AAPL?  I'm bullish but then I also have a long position in AAPL.  Good luck with your trading / investing.  Cheers.

'A' is for automation

Have you considered using automation as part of your equity screening process?  It saves a considerable amount of time and can be done with pretty simple programs, such as using C# code.

I'm not necessarily suggesting using automation for trading but if you choose to do so more power to you.  I'd suggest testing your system and algorithm thoroughly before doing so though.

I still hold a position in AAPL by the way.  Cheers.

It's been a while...

It's been a while since my last post.  This year has been a challenge for many traders and investors.  I've had a little success recently with AKRX and HALO.  AAPL still has a good long-term outlook in my view.  Good luck with your trading / investing.  Cheers.

New position in AKRX

I sold my CPX position the other day for ~17% gain thankfully.  On Sunday, I narrowed down 166 potential stock buys down to 2 and then further to my new position AKRX.  I used a variety of tools for my research including: finviz.com, investors.com, yahoo.com/finance, and others.  Good luck with your trading / investing.  Cheers.
