How to Profit From Macau, the Las Vegas of Asia / Companies / Investing 2010
By: Tony_Sagami
I was raised on a vegetable farm in western Washington, so I’ve always felt more at home in the country than in big, crowded cities. That’s why I choose to raise my children in Montana.
When it comes to crowds, it doesn’t get more crowded than places like Jakarta, Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, and Hong Kong, so I seldom turn down a chance to spend some time in an Asian version of Petticoat Junction.

By: INO
On Wednesday, after much hype and drama, Steve Jobs walked onstage and unveiled Apple's latest creation - the iPad. Having watched almost every key address for Apple for many years I, like many others, were disappointed that the product didn't live up to the hype.

Short Semiconductor SSG ETF on the Move / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The UltraShort Semiconductor ProShares ETF (NYSE: SSG) has rocketed to the upside after today’s early weakness, and is set to put in a key upside reversal day. If at today’s close the SSG is above 20.71, the key reversal will be satisfied, which likely will coincide with the start of a new upleg that projects to 23.20. Beyond the reversal, let’s also notice that today’s lift-off occurred from the 50 DMA, which adds a bit of muscle to the upmove.

By: Ron_Rowland
The old saying says, “Don’t believe everything you read.” While this is good advice, investors today have a bigger problem: News that is accurate but irrelevant.
I see this all the time as I track the ETF industry. Just about every week — and sometimes several times a week — I receive breathless news like “So-and-so has filed for an ETF to track the price of kangaroo milk in New Guinea!”

By: Money_and_Markets
Monty Agarwal writes: Hedge funds and the managers who run them have been getting a lot of publicity lately — and not of the flattering kind.

By: Guy_Lerner
Sorry for the catchy headline, but the SPDR KBW Regional Bank ETF (symbol:KRE) has been my best performing ETF since I first highlighted the sector back on November 18, 2009. KRE is up about 16% since then while the S&P500 has remained flat.
I bring KRE up not because I want to pat myself on the back, but because CNBC's Maria Bartiromo made this comment last Thursday as she was going to a commercial break and I paraphrase:

The lack of downside extension beneath 12.40 followed by the sharp rally indicates to me that the stock has completed a significant near-term pullback off of the 1/19 high at 14.17.
