A headline after the market close today:

Stocks stumble on record oil, inflation worries.

Really? How did this AP writer know that it was THOSE two factors that made the Dow Jones Index drop around 200 points? Do you think he really had a way to connect the drop to the factual issue of high oil and the subjective feeling of “worries”? Or does anyone think that just possibly he made up the headline out of thin air? And that just possibly (like every other day) many people read the headline and said, “Sure, that makes sense, I guess it is time to do something?”

Of course its a fake, but I wonder who exactly had the Photoshop time to make it and why?

The following links are an interview I did with Art Collins about my book “The Complete TurtleTrader”. The interview appeared in TradersWorld.com:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4 (4-page PDF version)

That interview took place July 2007 even though the publish date was Spring 2008. Thanks to Michael Martin for spotting the interview and reminding me!

I am moderating a panel on Thursday in Paris at TradeTech. The panel includes Salem Abraham and Peter Borish.

Someone asked the other day about hedge fund managers and or traders who I have interviewed who I have not spoken extensively about. A partial list includes: Grant Smith (Millburn Ridgefield), David Harding, Toby Crabel, Bernard Drury, Peter Borish Michael Clarke and Christian Baha. Many of their insights will be in my third book.

I just stumbled upon the fact that the music channel VH1 now carries “The Complete TurtleTrader”. Positioned right there next to KISS. Awesome.
