		<title>Nicholas Darvas: Trend Trader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From a Time Magazine article in 1959:
Darvas places his buy orders for levels that he considers breakout points on the upside. At the same time, he places a stop-loss sell order just below his buy order, so that if the stock does not move straight up after he buys, he will be sold out and [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Nicholas Darvas: Trend Trader", url: "http://www.michaelcovel.com/2010/03/09/nicholas-darvas-trend-trader/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Pablo Picasso on What Is Important</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pablo Picasso once said:
&#8220;Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.&#8221;
I saw that today for the first time. Made me pause because I agree 100%! Let&#8217;s face it, it used to be more about having the right strategy and then hopefully making money. Today? Trading and investing has become a technological &#8220;math-turbation&#8221; marathon of [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Pablo Picasso on What Is Important", url: "http://www.michaelcovel.com/2010/03/07/pablo-picasso-on-what-is-important/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Trends Abound</title>

&#8220;Trends are everywhere - weather, sports, fashion, food, entertainment, health, science and politics. Some trends are long, some are short. They come and they go as they always have and always will. Life and business both thrive on identifying, following and serving trends.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A senior U.S. Federal Reserve official said on Tuesday that an extended period of ultra-low interest rates invites speculative behavior and is risky. &#8220;When you have zero rates that go on indefinitely, you are inviting future problems,&#8221; Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank President Thomas Hoenig said in an interview on [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "I Feel Like I am in the Middle of a Family Guy Episode &#8212; It&#8217;s All a Cartoon!", url: "http://www.michaelcovel.com/2010/03/02/i-feel-like-i-am-in-the-middle-of-a-family-guy-episode-its-all-a-cartoon/" });</script>]]></description>

First thing I asked, &#8220;If I buy gold from you when do I ever sell?&#8221;
The punk on the phone (and that is being charitable) said:
&#8220;Gold has never crashed.&#8221;
&#8220;If gold was to go again from $800 to $200 you would have plenty of warning to sell.&#8221;
I asked who was going to [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Goldline Might be Starting to Show Some Tarnish", url: "http://www.michaelcovel.com/2010/03/01/goldline-might-be-starting-to-show-some-tarnish/" });</script>]]></description>
