Posted by Eric LeRiche | September 3, 2010 .

Time to be Bullish? Investors May Get Their Chance to Go Long as some think this is a good time to be bullish… The summer might be ending, but the volatility continued yesterday, as shares prolonged the large gains made on Wednesday.

Today’s Laugh Line: Thursday night on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” on NBC:…

Posted by Eric LeRiche | July 20, 2010 .

Today’s Laugh Line: Thursday night on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” on NBC: BBC is reporting that Venezuela may have massive oil reserves, more than even Saudi Arabia. You know what that means? We could have invaded closer to home and saved gas. But to be fair to President Bush, at the time we [...]

Betrayed on Bank Reform: 3 Ways Our Leaders Stabbed Us in the Back

Posted by Eric LeRiche | July 14, 2010 .

OUR CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS WERE ON A MISSION. They have been provided with an opportunity to cut through the misogynistic absurdity and move around one fundamental purpose — to protect the US Taxpayer from ever again being the unwilling recipient of a financial raping of the magnitude that we experienced at the hands of America’s bankers [...]

A bullish divergence?

Posted by Eric LeRiche | July 9, 2010 .

If you read my posts regularly you probably know I am bearish these days but since I am a technician first I need to address a very important indicator that might support a bullish perspective: The American Association of Individual Investors sentiment poll just returned its highest bearish percentage (57.07%) and lowest bullish percentage (20.94%) [...]

Bi-polar markets!

Posted by Eric LeRiche | July 8, 2010 .

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” I know it’s a bit saddle-worn, but old Chas. Dickens was 1 heck of a student of humanity, and his opening to A Tale of Two Cities, what with its dichotomous wisdom, foolishness, belief and incredulity, just seemed too apropos to pass on [...]

It’s difficult to make predictions, especially about the future.

Posted by Eric LeRiche | July 2, 2010 .

To generate cash investing, you need to be ahead of the crowd… or at least seeking the story no one is telling.

That is a challenging endeavor today. All of a sudden, talking about the unspeakable — a double-dip recession and a retest of the March 2009 lows — is in style. Even readers are fed up with the end of the world as we have known it “stories”…

Markets are Crashing Again! Are You Ready this Time?

Posted by Eric LeRiche | July 1, 2010 .

Did you ever hear the old saying: “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!”? Unless you were already a sophisticated investor, I’m sure you suffered some significant losses last year and I’m sure you’ve asked yourself: “what could have I done and what can I do to avoid such a [...]

Can a regular investor make money in a secular bear market?

Posted by Eric LeRiche | June 23, 2010 .

It’s a common misconception that you cannot make money in a secular bear market (such as we are in right now).  This belief is especially prevalent among retirement savers.  The general thinking is that a secular bear market must surely mean the end of one’s retirement dreams. And you know what?  They are absolutely correct!  [...]

Is the recession truly over?

Posted by Eric LeRiche | June 17, 2010 .

Is the recession truly over? It may seem somewhat late to be asking that question. After all, haven’t Washington and Wall Street already bragged as to how we have had an adequate number of consecutive months of GDP growth to sound the death knell for “The Great Recession of 2007-2010”? Heck, we’ve even been regaled [...]
