Devo Does It Again

By Tim Knight - 14 years ago (20, Apr 2011 1:05:23 PM)

OK, since everyone on the planet is talking about Apple, I'll talk about something totally different: Devo.

I know there are some non-fans of Devo here, but that's OK. This is still amazing for the rest of you. Their latest video, What We Do, finally came out last night, and it's a complete breakthrough. You can watch it here on the Mashable site, and don't just play it – – move it around. They shot it in 360, and while the video is playing, you can push your mouse around the video to see what's going on. There is a constant circus of activity, and I've watched it seven times already (the first of many viewings, I imagine).

Even if you're not into this kind of music, you should check it out. It's totally Slope. (Note: don't bother clicking the image below; if I could embed the video, I would have).

CTC Media

One of the very few bright spots for me on today's uber-bullish day is my short on CTCM, shown below. I've got a stop of 22.51 on this position. Any stock that manages to be down on a day like this deserves attention.

SPY Pre-Market Support/Resistance (by Leaf_West)

Pre Market action is hot and heavy … My time target of a market high on April 27th/28th fits in nicely with the Fed post meeting interview. However when I look at the market action since the mid-February top I get the sense that we are putting in an ascending triangle pattern.

Do We Own This?

By Tim Knight - 14 years ago (20, Apr 2011 8:37:09 AM)

Everyone has sort of forgotten about AIG, but I really wanted to short it earlier this year, and there was none to be had. I did a recent post on this same topic, but I've got to say, I'm amazed at how consistently AIG is just edging down into oblivion. Don't the taxpayers own a big hunk of this? I guess it's a moot point, all things considered. Still…..what an eerily beautiful chart.
