Livermore's flawed genius - part 2 March 30, 2008
Yesterday I began outlining some of the principles Jesse Livermore used so successfully to make $1million during the Panic of 1907. $1million doesn’t sound like a lot these days, but of course it must have been worth closer to $100million in today’s terms. Please keep in mind that there are probably a thousand other lessons that one can glean from Livermore’s trading career, and many of his mistakes and shortcomings are probably more instructive.

Livermore's flawed genius - part 1 March 29, 2008
In my last post I suggested that we’re in a bear market and that we would be wise to position ourselves accordingly. To this end I suggested that the account of Jesse Livermore’s experiences during the 1907 Panic could provide us with some useful tips.

1907 Redux? March 28, 2008
A couple of market commentators (eg. Chris Mayer) have drawn parallels between today’s credit crunch and the Panic of 1907.

New, highly leveraged investment vehicles (the Trusts) embraced the easy money conditions and employed little in the way of risk control. At first they profited greatly. But, as always, market conditions changed, money became tight, and the credit bubble burst.......

ATI March 18, 2008
Another shorting opportunity. ATI looks like it will test resistance at 85. If/when it fails, look to short with a downside target of around $30. Targets are dodgy to say the least. So look to take profits following sharp sell-offs. Or better yet, trail your stop and hold for as long as possible. Then look to take profits when you believe the market is set for a rally, but not until late in the year.
