Lower your mortgage rate no closing cost

Posted by RipeTrade on October 19th, 2011

When I refinanced 2 years ago I paid around $10,000 in closing costs. This phone call saved me that $10k in closing cost. My rate is going from 5.125% down to 4.5%. This rate reduction is going to reduce my monthly payment around $400 which saves me $4,800 per year.

Bullish Breadth

Posted by RipeTrade on October 3rd, 2011

The markets are probably real close to an oversold bounce at current levels. The QQQ closed below the lower Bollinger band on lows which has historically been a bullish setup. Details here. Also the 3 day RSI on the QQQ closed below 15 which has historically been bullish for a market bounce. Details here.

Stock trading strategy

Posted by RipeTrade on August 25th, 2011

The First Day of the Month. It’s probably the most important trading day of the month, as inflows come in from 401(k) plans, 1RAs, etc. and mutual fund have to go out there and put this new money into stocks.

Short squeeze screen

Posted by RipeTrade on July 18th, 2011

This is a list of the stocks with very high short interest as a percentage of the float and sorted by 6 month relative strength. The idea is that it is bullish that these stocks are able to continue higher with such dour sentiment and heavy selling from shorts. When the shorts admit defeat and throw in the towel, they have to buy and cover the position which will boost the stocks even higher.
