Peanut's Potent Plethora of Profit

[spikefader]

...The PSI has increased 437% in a little more than 2 years.

Brilliant! Congrats Peanuts.....and tanks.

I will now be focusing on the electricity generation and transmission industry. The Peanuts Electricity Index will be posted at some point in the near future. How many people are interested in the PEI?

I am, and anyone who ain't be a landlubber.

Tanks in advance me hearty.

The PEI - "Peanuts Electricity Index"

OK, here we go with the PEI! Each position was initiated at today's opening price, and approximately $1000 was put into each stock. There are 35 companies that make up the Peanuts Electricity Index. The notes indicate whether they generate electricity from plant assets (gen), distribute electricity (dist), include natural gas interests (NG), or offer generation services.

My research indicates that over the next few years, we will see very nice returns from this sector. Assumptions for this include the continued high growth rate of Asian economies, some industry consolidation, and increased energy prices.

If you ever want an update of the the performance of the PEI, just let me know. Here is the index:

Now is a great time to take profits from your investments in the steel industry!

This is my last post regarding the steel industry. Nobody was interested in my thoughts in the first place. The PSI has increased 437% in a little more than 2 years. That is a group of 52 stocks that were simply bought and held.

I will now be focusing on the electricity generation and transmission industry. The Peanuts Electricity Index will be posted at some point in the near future. How many people are interested in the PEI?

Peanuts...Even tho I'm not the type to throw accolades all over the place...I do read what you have to say and I do consider your opinions worthwhile...Best, Doug(IIC)

Peanuts,
I'm interested in the PEI and also the PGI (peanuts gas index) Heard on Paul Harvey today (so it's got to be true) that natural gas speculators or are they employees? are buying rights for $5 an acre and 12% royalties whenland owners should be getting $300 per acre and 15% royalties. You know more about gas than anyone in these parts. What say you?

What I was hoping for, and I do seem to be failing miserably with this, was to open some members' eyes to the Steel Industry here. I'm not sure that people realize what is going on in the industrial sector, and I thought I could help some people make some money off of the very strong performance in this and related sectors. If one person gained anything from what I have posted, I'll be happy.

I wasn't targeting a certain performance for the PSI for 2007, but I wanted to track it as a whole and hopefully offer some insight to the underlying factors of our economy. My statement of "up 14.5% in 3 months" was an attempt to hopefully have some members dig a little deeper into what I am trying to convey here- you know, invoke a thought process and hopefully some dialogue. Unfortunately, my attempts are met with poor results time and time again. Or at least, IF someone did gain anything from this, I did not hear about it. But, I do appreciate your response, Spike.

Now is a great time to take profits from your investments in the steel industry!

Here's something to consider over the weekend:

I like how Seinfeld ended the show at its pinnacle.

I think you're right, Ski. The way I look at it, if the market action takes it strongly below that neckline, then bulls are in trouble. But if it bounces off of the neckline, and confirms the SHS pattern, then the bulls might be happy over the next few weeks.

There has been a good fight ongoing over the previous few weeks between the bulls and bears, just as you said. The volatility has been a scalpers dream, and a perfect market to play straddles on news events. I did play quite a few and profitted on most. I currently still have one that I've held for two weeks who's common price is still between strikes and I am losing money on both sides over the time that I've been holding. Both sides of the options have been positive for a time, but then just as the move seems to want to continue higher or lower, the price reverses and the options are in the red again.... with the price staying between the strikes. This has been the negative side of the plays- the time value eating away the initial investment.

Personally, I won't be playing them this week, but there are 4 to consider: Monday- SHFL, Tuesday- BRLC, Wednesday- SHRP and JOSB

i'm holding two longer term positions in GLD and TASR and some call options in MSFT, which are getting killed, and have not been doing any trading in these markets over the last few weeks. just to volitaile and no clear direction to hold any swing trade positions over even a short time frame. i'm staying out of it for the time being. i'll look at these 4 and let you know what i think.

[peanuts]

It seems to be such a volitaile market right now peanuts. if it breaks that trendline to the downside right where is sits then it might be alot more of a bearish market. but everytime the bears or news forces it down alot one day the bulls seems to come back in strong the following day to recoup the losses and push it back up. but those were nice plays on the straddles if you made them.

The Market

For the first time ever, I want to be a bear.

This is simply aweful, and I have absolutely no idea why it is happening now. Are investors afraid of DOW 14K? Is the mortgage / subprime problem going to get worse? Is the average P/E really too high?

I have lost more value in my portfolios lately than I care to even think of. My day-trading account has suffered the worst losses ever. My long term holdings have erased approx 13% since their high just 3 weeks ago. My MOMO portfolio's current performance in abysmal with 2 big losers: SYNL and CNS, and a decent winner in UA. Options have been my only source of good trades.

This market is unpredictable, it's random, it's unforgiving. The last 10 minutes of this week's weak market has me debating whether I should sell it all, book the losses, and start over....

Could this be the bottom?

the peanuts straddle

GLF reports earnings tomorrow

and the report

ho hum.... this is getting annoying. Anyone home? Seems like instead of looking for ways to make money from the current market, everyone wants to try to predict where it is going.... waste of time, in my opinion

UA straddle worked great!
GLF straddle worked great!
Market soothsayers not making money!

What will I come up with next?

hmmmm.... let's see..... MR reports on Monday, Aug 6
