FB - Long facebookFacebook has been gaining year on year looks like another long to me. Possible double bottom on the daily around the rising trendline will be buying a break above 120 targeting analysts forecasts of $155 which seems fair to me

fnma - long - possible continuation breakFannie mae looks to have been unlocked by the trump victory i will be watching for possible continuation and another breakout targeting the $4.50 area i think in the long run FNMA could be back in the $20 range
long - cala on breakout I have mentioned my interest in biotech my main focus will be on the midcap section with possible buyouts in 2017 with trumps victory. I'm not going to go into details as i believe it is more worth researching to focus on the right areas of biotech. But there are some interesting small caps too, Cala looks poised here and i am looking to long if we can break the $3.60 area

BTCUSD: Update #2As Tim West showed in a recent publication, a 9 month downtrend expired recently, giving way to the possibility of seeing price rally back to the mode in a 9 month period or sooner.
This is a lower probability target but it's in the background. What made me interested in going back to BTC was to see that the daily chart is showing bullish signals, while the weekly is about to confirm an uptrend to the 265-270 mark, IF and when price hits 246.54 during this week.
If that were to happen, there's a possibility that the monthly chart gives us a bullish signal. This is highly speculative, but entirely within the realm of probability. So, my suggested course of action is:
If you hold Bitcoin, don't sell unless we traverse the 231-227 barrier!
If you are in cash you can buy BTC now and risk it falling to 227. The potential upside is ridiculous compared to the risk.
If you are invested in an altcoin, you might consider buying back some BTC to benefit from this rally. (My reccomendation for altcoins in general is to treat them as stocks vs the general market, and keep a fixed % portfolio allocation vs Bitcoin and cash).
I'll update the chart once we get the monthly signal indicating further upside. For now, we have the background downtrend expiration and the daily and potential weekly uptrends in place, which is enough for me to take this trade.
As a sidenote, I was providing live updates for my FX trades at zulutrade.com, I now work with collective2.com. You can find the details in my profile page. The interface is excellent and the autotrading seems to be the best in the biz.
If you decide to risk some of your cash in Forex, but not willing to spend time on managing it, be sure to hit me up. I'd appreciate your support.
Good luck!

Stable Alpha Generating Portfolio Yielding 4%If you want protection from a market correction, but want to still generate some profits without going short, or long consider a balanced portfolio of two slightly negatively correlated but stable ETFs. PBP writes call options and collects premiums to the tune of 4%. MNM holds municiopal bonds which yield about 3.7%. When one goes up the other comes down and so in combination the portfolio is true market neutral with very little volitility.
Historically a 12% variation can be seen, with a few sudden drops and a recovery that takes about a year or so. I recomment stop lossing MLN in case the Fed action does something crazy with this ETF.

Tepper has one of the best long-term performance track records in the hedge fund world.
"I think we're OK. But, listen, there's times to make money and there's times not to lose money. This is probably you're supposed to think about preserving some of your money...I think you can still be long, but I think you're supposed to have some cash now."
"It's funny people think we're always bullish."
"I am nervous. I think it's nervous time."
He said the market is probably OK. "But it's getting dangerous."
"I'm not saying go short. Just don't go too friggin long."
