Michael Michaud submits: Scanning the charts this week, it’s ironic that the best low risk high reward trade setup I could find is with a company that checks and rates companies financial information and provides other business information services. Too bad the US taxpayers didn’t have this company check the credit rating of the Fed, Fannie Mae (FNM), Freddie Mac (FRE), and the banks before their...

Michael Michaud submits: Scanning the charts this early Monday morning after the insane market action last week, which included the market tanking all week, followed by the big dead cat bounce rally on Friday, I was wondering what would pop on the radar screen for a buy or sell this week. Actually not much of anything looked very interesting. Couple of crappy short sells, and no decent long candidates...

Michael Michaud submits: After scanning the stock charts this early Monday morning, I’ve come up with two stock picks. One is a short-sell and the other is a buy candidate. The short-sell I won’t write about this week, because the long candidate is much more exciting and a longer term position than short-selling. I’ll just say the short-sell is Abbott Labs (ABT). The buy candidate is a Chinese internet...

Michael Michaud submits: After scanning the charts this early Monday morning, I’ve zeroed in on an investment bank behemoth in the financial industry that sometimes buys up other competitors when they get into liquidity trouble, as they just recently did during this time of liquidity credit crisis. Longer term, we would be a share buyer of this excellent company. Near to intermediate term, I’m putting...

Michael Michaud submits: Scanning the charts early Monday morning, I zeroed in on a long candidate stock. You might think I’m crazy in a stock market like this to go long right now, but there are growth stories around the world to buy into. It’s a company headquartered in Argentina, and they’re involved in one of my favorite sectors right now, agriculture, and food production. Long Position Cresud...

Inquiring about some slow cases in the JTS buffer algorithm, Michael Michaud asked : I have no idea why a large buffer should take longer than a small one, and I don't know if there is a better way to compute a buffer. Martin Davis and I dragged out the usual hacks to make large buffers faster, simplifying the input geometry, or buffering outwards in stages . Said Martin: The reason for this is that...

Michael Michaud submits: My weekly stock pick last week was Google (GOOG). Its earnings disappointed the Street, and I got stopped out as the stock price declined. I’m re-initiating a buy on it at its current July 18 Friday close price of $481.32; stop-loss is $440.00. I’m seeing the major, intermediate, and minor fifth waves possibly ending here and opening up an opportunity for a possible reversal...

Michael Michaud submits: My scan of the charts this week came up with a company that almost everyone on the internet knows about. I’ve been looking to get back into this stock for a while; I first got in at the IPO back in 2004, then sold in mid-January of this year when the entire market was going down hard and heavy. My basis for this position on the stock is purely technical. The fundamentals over...

Michael Michaud submits: Another down market last week. Trying to find long candidates in a market like this is tough, to say the least. Selling short was pretty easy over last two weeks, as it seemed just about everything was going down. There have been some bull winners longer term. The agriculture sector stocks have done real well these last fifty two weeks. I don’t like chasing prices, so I have...

Michael Michaud submits: Another down week last week in the markets with record oil prices not helping matters. For the week, the DJIA was down about 4.1%, the S&P 500 down about 2.9%, and the Nasdaq down about 3.8%. In market conditions like this, it’s good to look for defensive investments. Defensive stocks are those companies which are not highly dependent on economic cycles and the prosperity...
