Micron Technology Inc. (MU)

This morning, I plan to briefly highlight the vulnerability of one stock and two market sub sectors -- I would avoid all three over the next few months and over the remainder of the year: Semiconductors Apple AAPL Asset Managers Apple and Micron are...

* What's wrong with rolling a 2.40% three month Treasury bill given the market action and fundamental uncertainties? * A Bull Market in complacency, in hyperbole and in hopium. * More evidence of a topping process. * Remember, buyers live higher and...

After covering shorts in , , , , (and others) earlier this week, I am very liquid. I stand ready to reload these shorts on further strength.

"Just one more thing." -- Lt. Columbo Since I was unusually active today (and I know it can get confusing) I think it would be helpful to summarize today's trades. * I covered all of my semiconductor shorts -- Intel and Micron (still on my Best Idea...

I have covered the balance of my (at $37.40) and (at $44.90) shorts. We have made good gains here and I believe I will have an opportunity to reshort on strength. At least I hope so!

I have covered half of my (at $37.50) and (at $43.30) shorts for large profits. Moved from medium-sized to small-sized.

I just covered half of my Micron short at $37.80. Move to medium-sized from large-sized. Micron was placed on my Best Ideas List (short) one month ago at $43.32. Part of my mission has been accomplished.

My largest sector short - based on fundamental considerations - is in the much-loved semiconductor industry. The names are Intel and Micron .

Not that it matters these days in such an "abnormal" and newsy market, but the close was sub-optimal. Often, technicians look at the last 30 minutes as a "tell." The Spyders lost nearly $1.80 and the S&P futures lost about 18 handles in the last hal...

Another day of "newsy" action as it pertains to how the trade negotiations are going. Today it was Sarah Sanders saying, in very vague terms, that negotiations are advancing in the sense that the Chinese are willing to proceed with the talks. As suc...

Today's trades included the purchase of and near-dated puts, and more shorts put on in Semis ( and ) and Asset Managers ( and ). I added to my large long. I liquidated my holdings in , and . As a result, I raised my net short exposure of my portfoli...

My long book is down to small positions in , , and . Mediums sized in . And large positions in (actually very large as I have been adding), , , , , L and . My short book includes small to medium sized positions in , , , , and large positions in and ...

I am offering some more and on the short side now.

With thirty minutes to go in the regular hours trading session: * Second day of weakness with 1,340 advancers and 1,610 decliners on the NYSE. * But we are way off the day's lows. In fact S&P futures are 17 handles above the morning levels (Made a n...

Recent shorts such as T. Rowe Price , Franklin Resources , Micron Technology , Intel and Apple are beginning to pay off!  

"Yesterday All my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though they're here to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday" - The Beatles, Yesterday I was active trading yesterday. I added to my Index shorts ( and ) and to a number of individual equity sh...

"Just one more thing." - Lt Columbo Small beat at Intel but very poor next quarter and full-year guidance (both sales and profits). I shorted Intel (on the report) and added further to my Micron and shorts. This stock was widely touted in the busine...

With an hour to go, here are my key observations on the day: * Another smart rally off of the day's low (such a resilient market!) but not accompanied by a revival of breadth (which is now 1,175 advancers against 1,760 decliners). * Bonds rose by 1-...
