You are an investor in physical metal and like Marty of “Back to the Future II” you have stumbled into a nightmare world of $10.00 and whatever cents silver (you may have bought back when it was $15-$20 and thought you were doing well) wondering how can you change this distorted world to a peaceful “Hill valley” of the movie and a reality of honest pricing.

Biff / Griff Tannen aka the SEC/CFTC (Securities exchange commission and Commodity Futures Trade Commission) should look like this picture of a nice old chap that cleans your car and keeps the house in order. Not unreasonable given its position of watchdog to the markets.

Instead its accusers of late charge it with sitting in a Jacuzzi laughing at all of us who have invested in

NASDAQ stocks are finding it difficult to push through and hold the 200dma average. Once again, the 200dma on the NASDAQ is proving to be hefty resistance for stocks. However, listening to Fast Money and Jim Cramer’s Mad Money they would have you believing that we are in a new bull market. These shows are completely useless and are apart of the Wall Street Machine trying to suck you in. Thankfully, I found William O’Neil, Jesse Livermore, Darvas, Loeb, etc early in my career. Most recently, as of 2 years I found Brad Koteshwar who through his two self published books teach similar principles. One of the largest is to IGNORE what comes from Wall Street. This will include all financial news channels. As we continue to fail at resistance these “professionals” will continue to hammer you to buy and buy some

In June 5’s “Web Extra: Suspicious Stock” which Fast Money trader wanted to share his/her investment doubts?

We ran out of time on TV but Guy Adami wants you to know about this stock. In Thursday’s Web Extra find out what happened that’s making him suspicious.

Nucor shows up in the models I follow for having a particularly high accrual ratio, which is often a signal of poor earnings quality. It also has strong price momentum, which can be both a blessing and a curse for investors.

The New York Times questioned whether rail shares are now overloaded in Sunday’s paper. Find out how the traders respond in Monday’s Web Extra.

The New York Times (NYT) scores horribly in the models I use. Its earnings quality is average, but it ranks among the worst for earnings momentum, price momentum, free cash flow and return potential. Meanwhile, pricing power indicates that the railroad stocks may have further to go.

Fast Money’s Karen Finerman loves “bargain real estate.” But what conclusion did she reach on Maguire Properties (MPG)?

She likes “the dynamic of absolute forced selling.”

While I appreciate the contrarian perspective on a stock with a broken deal and discontinued dividend, I have to say it doesn’t look too good on the models I follow.  Here’s how it looks:

Earnings momentum: Neutral Earnings quality: Negative Price Momentum: Negative Free cash flow: Neutral Return potential: Negative
