The Non Farm Payrolls Report came in at a whopping 287,000 today. This blew expectations out of the water. Most economists were expecting between 150,000 and 200,000.

 The jobs number being stronger than expected should have had the impact of seeing gold and…

The investment world has thrown the baby out with the iPhone. As much as a fan favorite Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) was, it is now hated on by nearly every investor. Institutions and investment kings like Carl Icahn have dumped their positions, hundreds-of-millions of shares sold. The stock currently trades at $95.32, +0.33 (+0.34%), down from a 52 week high of near $135.00.

1. CDTI is debt free. This is rare for a micro cap stock.

2. CDTI will be profitable in the fourth quarter per their latest conference call. Extremely rare for a micro play.

3. Debt conversion is very attractive…

Anytime you analyze any trade you must figure out how much reward there is versus how much risk you are taking. Reward has to be the obvious winner by a mile. When looking at the PowerShares QQQ Trust, Series 1 (ETF)(NASDAQ:QQQ) chart, and deciding whether or not to go buy or short, look for support and resistance lines.

On the QQQ chart, there is very limited upside until you fill the gap from the Brexit catastrophe. In reality, there is only about $0.50 of upside left until…

Silver is having another amazing day, soaring almost 5%. The iShares Silver Trust (ETF) (NYSEARCA:SLV) is trading at $18.44, +0.57 (+3.22%). Silver is a short as of today for a near term pull back. This can be maximized using puts, leveraged ETF's or just short the SLV itself. The reasoning is simple. Look at the chart below. The up-sloping trend line is a thing of beauty. Most investors buy/sell or short for no good reason other than a 'feeling'. I strictly look for chart signals.…

China on Tuesday devalued its currency in a way that left it 1.9% weaker versus the U.S. dollar. The move will likely have a ripple effect through financial markets as well as in politics, as China is the world’s largest trader and the Yuan is increasingly used overseas. A weaker currency helps China’s exporters sell their goods abroad.
