Is The Market Getting Ahead Of Itself?

After five weeks of steady gains is the market becoming a little too complacent and perhaps vulnerable to a sell-off?

It would appear as though the market is Teflon coated and has been brushing off bad news after bad news, particularly when it comes to the world's precarious political situation. In today's video, I will be examining all three indices and show you what I'm looking at right now, and I will also point out where the red line is in each of these indices.

All eyes on Apple

If you've been living anywhere on this planet then, you probably know that tomorrow is Apple's big day. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is set to unveil its latest and greatest creations tomorrow. In my opinion if Apple comes up with anything other than a real game changer this stock may have topped out. Continue reading "Is The Market Getting Ahead Of Itself?"

Apple, Nudes, iCloud, iPhone 6, iWatch and much more

It has been quite a week for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) with the news that its iCloud storage system had been hacked, and stolen photographs of nude celebrities starting popping up everywhere on the web.

Apple did issue a statement saying that certain celebrity iCloud accounts were compromised, but notes, "None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple systems including iCloud's find my phone feature. We are continuing to work with law enforcement to help identify the criminals involved."

What that indicates to me is the fact that the hackers were looking for specific names and photographs that they could use as currency. I heard today that some photographs from the paparazzi can sell upwards of $50,000 or $100,000 so they are valuable to certain entities and enterprises.

Dollar General Is Going To Have To Pay A Lot More For Family Dollar

This morning I woke up to see that Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG) has raised its bid again to $80 a share or $9.1 billion to buy Family Dollar Stores Inc. (NYSE:FDO). I don't think that Dollar General's bid is enough therefore I don't think Dollar General is going to be able to pick this stock up for just $80 a share.

In today's video, I'll show you how MarketClub's Trade Triangles nailed both of these stocks and how they got this trade right. I will also show you why I think Dollar General is going to have to up its bid – big time if it wants to acquire Family Dollar Stores. Last week, Dollar General said it remained committed to making this acquisition, however Dollar General's earnings and same-store sales fell short of market expectations. What does this mean? Is Dollar General reaching out for Family Dollar Stores now while its stock is still relatively high? I think so.

As I said earlier, I believe Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG) is going to have to pay a lot more if it wants to acquire Family Dollar Stores Inc. (NYSE:FDO). I will share with you the exact number I think that Dollar General is going to have to pay for Family Dollar stores if it wants to acquire that business.

I have a feeling this is going to be an interesting week so stay tuned.

Time To Make An Acquisition

Today I'm going to be analyzing the stock of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (NYSE:KKR). The origins of the company began almost 3 decades ago over dinner at Joe and Rose in 1976. From the outset, the concept of KKR was management buyouts and building partnerships and relationships.

Henry Kravis and George Roberts, the original founders of the company, set the tone for KKR's values and the way it has conducted business for decades. Not only had they already worked together for years, they were also first cousins and lifelong friends. Which, in my opinion, is not a bad thing and helped the partnership grow and prosper.

The private partnership went public on July 15, 2010, and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, KKR.

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. is a private equity investment firm specializing in acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, management buyouts, special situations, growth equity, mature, mezzanine, distressed, and middle market investments.

In today's video, I'll be analyzing the stock of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (NYSE:KKR) and sharing with you a little trick that you may want to employ in your own trading.

I like ISIS - and here's why

Now, before you get all up in arms and say, "how can you even think about supporting a middle eastern terrorist group?!", let me explain.

It is just unfortunate that they happen to have the same name.

Yesterday, there was a major trend change signal in ISIS Pharmaceuticals. This signal indicated that the trend had reversed to the upside and a long position was now warranted. Technically, the stock looks very good and capable of moving another 10% to 15% higher from current levels.
