Register for our newsletter [RumorDude] Sun Dec 29, 8:55pm PST BBH Sorry for the huge lag here, but before market close on friday, I opened a straddle on BBH. This has consolidated into what looks like a failed ascending triangle. My first hunch was that this was just going into a trading range, but at this point, I'm seeing other indicators like the MACD turning south to make me think this could break the bottom on such a trading range. Regardless, this trade is really just for an "increase in volatilty", more so than anything. Given the number of fake breaks that i see, this trade should be short lived. Buy to open Jan 85 BBH puts, Buy to open Jan 90 BBH calls. [madtrader] Fri Dec 27, 8:12am PST GOLD RGLD $GOX Okay, I guess I am starting to see the same kind of signs of animal spirit in gold stock as I saw in dotcom names in 97-98. Look at GOLD (the stock symbol), and one can't help but relate to the parabolic rise of the likes of AMZN back in 97-98. Volume rose, and the stock rose even more. I have no idea of the "fundementals" of gold stocks, but if we follow a similar path as the dotcoms did, one has to believe this is still in the early phase of the gold move. Dare I suggest names like GOLD and RGLD going for $100-400 a share? Just wondering out loud. rumordude.com
