With Wells Fargo’s positive earnings last week, and earnings reports for JP Morgan, Citigroup and GE coming up in the next fortnight, I expect some very big moves this week in the financials.
I forsee traders will start buying up the above mentioned stocks and take a pretty big gamble that the results will be good, [...]

I am an avid user of StockTwits. Anytime I am at my computer I have it running in the background, and contribute occasionally. CNBC did a little story on it today and had founder Soren Macbeth on for it. They do diss it quite a bit indicating how very exploitable it is by stock promoters, [...]

Yesterday Rick Santelli went on a huge rant on CNBC about the Obama Government bailing out the ‘losers’ who can’t pay their mortgage with the money of the ‘winners’ who paid theirs or didn’t opt for the enormous house they knew they couldn’t afford. It is a 5 minute video, worth watching whether you care [...]

I am going to try and write an entire post on my blackberry during my commute to work and see how well it works as I haven’t really found the time to post in a while.
I follow the US stock market every single day, and pay particular attention to the big US banking stock prices. [...]
