Cusick’s Corner
The whole market just seems like they are waiting exhale, whether it is the Supreme Court or EU, it is hard to breathe because it seems like there is some sort of headline that could just make us gasp. Well, I for one cannot trade that way so rather than being paralyzed by the exogenous forces that are way out of my control, I trade with what I know. First, Tech, QQQ, broke to the downside this week and is still exhibiting indecision and in fact is slightly lagging the other … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

“Crime will run rampant as police departments and other government services that help maintain public order eliminate or cut back on jobs, overtime, and equipment, while growing numbers of formerly law-abiding but now desperate citizens reveal their dark side.”
– Chapter 9, “Economic,” Financial Armageddon

Hot Option Plays: Gold Miners Volatility Up

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 01:37 PM PDT

Cusick’s Corner 06-27-2012
Nice move into the Midday by the equities, S&Ps+10. The market has now retraced Monday’s drop but as I noted last night, I am attributing some of this action to early, end of the month window dressing by fund managers. Volatility continues to come out of the market but there are names with events on tap, i.e. earnings, so volatility has not come out of the market in whole. Here’s one market that is still under pressure — precious metals, GLD, and then the miners, … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

What The Price Of Gas Tells Us

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 08:40 AM PDT

A few months ago, we created two visuals we felt captured the emotions of how people respond to gasoline prices around the U.S.
With an increased dependency on our cars these days to get to work, school and grocery stores, the price of gas is a constant reminder of how "rich" we feel. When it seems as if filling the SUV costs an arm and a leg, we shift patterns by carpooling, forgoing the trip to the beach or decreasing spending elsewhere. On the other hand, falling gas prices act like a … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Dividend Surprises – Big Wins For Investors That Can Find Them

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 06:38 AM PDT

Positive dividend surprises such as unexpectedly high annual rises or one-off special payouts can be a welcome boost for income hunters – and, unsurprisingly, some investors spend a lot of time trying to find them. Indeed, evidence suggests that companies that catch the market (and their shareholders) by surprise are frequently rewarded with a rising share price as a result.
