↑↑ Jack's problem is an example of what I mean by Windows having trouble with their "apps". They're trying eliminate the entire desktop & tree structure within Windows, what DOSSHELL, and therefore Windows were entirely based on (moving to libraries, etc.). They feel this is necessary to make the programs more user friendly and more compatible with the processor architectures of mobile systems. But in doing so, they are eliminating the things that made Windows great...icons, customization, existing integrations, the best GUI out there. But their foresight is limited. By the time they figure it all out, the limitations of mobile device architectures will have already caught up with pc's, if not surpassed where they are now.
They should instead be adapting mobile apps to the existing OS systems and not the OS systems to the apps. If they had/did, they would already have the most well integrated mobile/pc system out there. Instead, even though they are making progress, they're kicking for the other teams' goal posts as Google takes the best of Windows and puts it into their mobile devices, and AAPL takes the best of Windows and puts it into their pc's. Windows is getting parted out to the benefit of the other companies and MS has no idea what's going on.
I'll tell you, if I had been overseeing MS product development, they'd not only have NOT lost any of their pc market share, they'd probably be the leading cell phone provider as well. Steve Ballmer really screwed up the company's focus. MS' biggest products are Windows, which they're screwing up, and Office Products, which Google now offers for free.
I just simply don't use any of their "Metro" type apps. If they ever eliminate the desktop/tree side of things completely, I'll use another OS like Linux (or Google as they'll probably be the leading pc OS by then).

Could be a very good short set-up in LL here against resistance ~15.15, currently 14.63, long term downside target ~5.65 Move short stop in LL down to if >14.05 Move LL short stop down to if >13.95

If short MNKD from ~2.20's, use a stop now if rises >1.45 Move that short stop down to if >1.38 for MNKD 1.15 downside target hit in MNKD. If shorted from >2.00, good time to cover and see what develops.

Good critique on MS - will use that to buy more APPL or GOOG rather than MSFT should the occasion arise. Thx

SUNE in .38 out .393 I think this turd is about done. Keep an eye on SUNE though. If (only if) >.45 it's a swing long for .63+

Should be a very bullish OPEX next week. Run the FIBs (up & down) on those 60 min S&P, Naz, DJI, Oil and Gold futures charts I posted before to see why. I think this week's whipsaw action got the OPEX whipsaw out of the way for a clean run next week.
Ideally we'll see nearly everything run up except VIX, dollar and Nat Gas. (and ideally not LL or VCEL since the stops on my downside calls weren't hit yet)

GDX's chart is starting to look like crop circles. I do think this complex H&S will [eventually] get a quick squeeze for a slightly higher high.
Yep, crop circles. GDX trading in that last blue circle already in pre-market. That confirms it, extra-terrestrial aliens are in control. Gold, aliens, conspiracies. Sounds like a sci-fi story I'm writing. lol Not surprisingly, gold's chart showing the same pattern - a complex H&S. I do hope that, like so many other H&S' out there, both of these will squeeze for a higher high before completing.And one week later, GDX closed 2 cents higher than the previous high. I do think it'll go into blow-off top mode now and hopefully the rest of the market follows. Keep in mind that pm miners were one of the worst performing sectors during this bull market, but are now the best performing sector YTD, by far. In fact, I think you could make a good argument that they are holding up the entire market. Silver miners up 80% YTD, and gold miners 75%. But get this, precious metal ETFs are only up 25% this year. Go figure. Besides precious metals, steel producers are up quite a bit, 29% YTD. Again, one of the worst performing sectors of this bull market. So besides the under performing sectors of the last few years, what other sector is doing well? The next best performing sector this year is Utilities, with a 23% YTD gain. Yep, sounds like a very healthy market - this is perhaps the exact underlying fundamental performance you'd expect of a textbook top. Herceg this should bring joy to your ears. lol

See Armstrong's numbers in the Lounge...he hasn't posted these this way for quite a while. So far, everything's neutral.
