Why some bloggers, especially those who are billionaires, hold back

I now have a fan club, join so you can stay on top of all the upcoming goodness!

Even though I despise market guessing games, since I nailed this market back on January 4th, I gotta show it off

Finance bloggers/website operators, sign up to TIMlinks, it’s free!

Wanna bid $40k to meet I-need-a-script-and-a-director-or-else-you’ll-discover-how-awkward-I-am-on-camera Scarlett Johnansson (watch the video on the link to see what I mean)

No idea how I found him, but this guy is pretty funny:

Remember Nine Inch Nails, see what they’re up to, cool business stuff

Are financial firms like Lehman insolvent?

The guy hasn’t discovered PennyStocking yet, so here’s some tips to those still playing random stocks.

If I was rich enough, I coulda woulda shoulda sued the SEC over hedge fund marketing rules in a heartbeat, thankfully this guy is actually doing it.

This group of sissy value investors reposted one of my articles and started ripping on me. Well, they got some of their facts wrong so I tried joining the group but they rejected me! What a perfect example of the closed minded/snooty ways of this cult. Say what you want about me, but I remain open to any and all strategies/people to debate freely.

They don’t deserve the wisdom of their leader, Buffett, check out his latest pearls of wisdom

Here’s my take on that letter

And here’s my take on these 10 stocks breaking out to new highs

Tellingly, my article featuring stocks making new lows was four times as popular

Ever wonder the story behind all those sponsored links on diff. websites?

Check out these microcrap mutual funds! (Never invest in these, for there are few excuses a mutual fund can make for not being able to raise $)

    You made trades on 25, 26, 26, 27, and 28. You went over the pattern daytrading limit. i think you’re technically supposed to be banned from trading for 90 days now. Ill check back in june when you’re allowed to trade again.

    ha as i’ve posted numerous times, thinkorswim allows me to trade, their help desk says i’m fine as long as i don’t abuse margin. who knows, i’m not complaining. and all my trades/account are fully tracked on covestor

    thank you for your quick reply, now tell us, how do you short stocks under 5dollars. It’s not allowed. Interesting youtube clips of that romanian warcraft guy.

    haha not being able to short stocks under $5 of course its allowed! just cuz some brokers have rules against it doesnt mean others don’t. try thinkorswim, they’ll let u short waaaay down to like $1 or $2, they say $3, but I’ve gone lower too–just do a search on my site and see some instances
