Just like we
said when Facebook IPO’d, don’t trade it…
We’re saying the
same thing about Twitter.

Herbalife Plunges
(Note from Tim: this was submitted to Slope earlier today, when HLF was geting killed) It shouldn’t be
this easy to make money…
When Herbalife
first plunged in January, I raced Speed Retirement Trader readers into the
position as fast as I could.
How to Trade the Bio-Boom
I was once told that you couldn't make money from FDA, Phase III or other meaningful biotech decisions by an old publishing group I worked for.
Since leaving them behind, I've closed about 25 winners and only 4 losers since October 2012, including a five-day 250% gain on MAP Pharmaceuticals.

Stocks at Highs: Time to Sell it All?
It’s a theory
that’s treated me well for years…

Verizon (VZ)
Intel (INTC)
Merck (MRK)
Pfizer (PFE)
DuPont (DD)
Hewlett
Packard (HPQ)
General Electric (GE)
McDonald’s (MCD)
and Johnson & Johnson
(JNJ)… otherwise known as the 2013 Dogs of the Dow.

There
are those who don’t know and those who don’t know they don’t know.
I’m
somewhere in the middle.
I may have called the bottom and top of housing, the top
of subprime and Alt-A, the death of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, the
collapse of the UK economy and the Dow’s collapse to 6,500, including its
recovery. I may have also called for gold to rally well above $1,000 when it
traded under $850.
