I remember that bridge. Traffic is going to be the suck. I hope you people out there enjoy your traffic.

Big Fat Cap

Published by The Fake Engineer at 12:34 am under Class

Back in November, I blogged about how I said “big fat cap” while explaining something to my professor in class. My professor then called it a BFC. I didn’t think much about him calling it a BFC, but I was reading my RF textbook today and I saw this circuit schematic:

That BFC really is supposed [...]

GDP lays an egg

Published by The Fake Engineer at 8:21 am under Stocks

Q1 2007 GDP: +1.3%
And what did I say three posts ago about the GDP? I said the market was expecting 1.8% but that I am looking for a number closer to 1.2%.
The market will not care though. The market will shrug off this piece of bad news like every other piece of bad news out [...]

The return of stupidity

Published by The Fake Engineer at 11:15 am under Stocks

No, I did not buy back my QID.
I picked up BRCM ($34.40) and HITT ($46.44) which I have owned before. Why did I pick them up? Common sense tells me NOT to buy stocks right before they report earnings because I get burned that way. However, I am going to break that rule because:
1. Every [...]

I give up

Published by The Fake Engineer at 7:07 pm under Stocks

Dumped my QID at $47.80. Now let me tell you something. I guarantee you that the stock market hates me so much that QID will never trade below $47.50 and the market will crash on Friday.
UPDATE: I miss my QID. I feel like buying it back in the morning.
UPDATE 2: I probably won’t buy it [...]

No intention of selling QID

Published by The Fake Engineer at 9:38 pm under Stocks

I picked up QID around $57 and right now it is sitting around $49. Yeah it sucks, but I have no intention of giving up on QID now. Okay, so I lost 14% on QID and I probably should’ve placed a stop loss somewhere around $54. I’m not too concerned because I’ve been through worse. [...]

Home values adjusted for inflation

Published by The Fake Engineer at 8:13 pm under Stocks

Look at this chart and tell me with a straight face that:
1. A housing crash will not happen.
2. The US economy will not have a recession that is caused by housing.

Amazingly, someone already has.

My advisor is too nice

Published by The Fake Engineer at 7:05 pm under Research

I got an e-mail for my advisor this morning and I couldn’t believe what I was reading.
I should have sent this mail a couple of days ago. I really need to say thanks for the hard work you put into the slides for the telecon.

Can you let me know when the next major class deadline [...]

Different ways at looking at the same chart

Published by The Fake Engineer at 11:35 pm under Stocks

If you are a bull, this is how you read the Nasdaq’s chart.

You would see a break of resistance followed by a backtest of the support that used to be resistance. The chart seems to indicate a short term positive to around 2530.
If you’re a bull, you may also see it as a cup and [...]
