LVS clean baby!

Published by The Fake Engineer at 10:19 pm under Research

My layout is now LVS clean and yes it feels very good. My layout progress had been bogged down by a class project and other things that prevented me from getting a solid block of hours for layout, but I got enough tiny chunks of time to get to this point. I still [...]

13 VOLTS!?!?

Published by The Fake Engineer at 2:23 am under Research

I was poking around with my circuit just now and I just noticed that one node has a peak to peak swing greater than 13 volts.

There’s nothing particularly wrong with it since this node is between an inductor and a capacitor and I’m not violating any voltage breakdown rules. What concerns me is that I [...]

Time to go long?

Published by The Fake Engineer at 10:07 pm under Stocks

I blogged about the Seasonal Timing Strategy on 11/7 and 5/9. The Seasonal Timing Strategy is as follows:
1. Go long on or after October 16th if the MACD says buy.
2. Go into cash on or after April 20th if the MACD says sell.
On May 10th, we got the sell signal when the [...]

poo

Published by The Fake Engineer at 10:51 am under Research

I have a tapeout deadline on December 4th so I’ve been doing layout the past few weeks. One tool I have been using is Assura DRC. Assura DRC requires you to enter in a run name just for the sake of giving the DRC run a name and I’ve been naming it “poo” and whatever [...]

BID IT UP SUCKERS!

Published by The Fake Engineer at 11:04 pm under Stocks

After hours action is interesting.

Dotted line marks the close.
Looks like Abu Dhabi is bailing out Citigroup.

If you buy on this news, you are a fool. Just shows what kind of deep doodoo Citigroup is in.

The market can only go down now

Published by The Fake Engineer at 10:37 am under Stocks

Why?
1. The market hates me.
2. I just dumped my TWM at $75.11. If I couldn’t get out above $75, I’d kick myself. I know I’m too stupid to not place stop losses. Now would also would be a good time to pull my money out of Etrade. I could do [...]

US Dollar: Look at it and weep

Published by The Fake Engineer at 10:05 pm under Stocks

You are looking at an intraday chart. That’s a near vertical cliff dive. For the past two weeks it had been bouncing between 75 and 76 but tonight we got the break.

And to think that the bond market has already priced in a 120% chance of a 25 bps cut in December, the US [...]

It feels very good to be a bear

Published by The Fake Engineer at 10:24 pm under Stocks

This post is long. I have a lot to say today because so many things are happening at the same time. In random order, here it goes.
1. In this post on 11/7, I talked about the 1404 target for the H&S break on the S&P 500, the bump and run formation on the S&P [...]

I shouldn’t be greedy, but I am

Published by The Fake Engineer at 8:31 pm under Stocks

TWM posted its 3rd best ever closing price today.

You would think a short seller like me would be happy to end the pain and just take the money now. But no, I’m not dumping my TWM before it hits $100. Laugh all you want.

If the servers stay down permanently, I don’t know what I’m going to do with my life.
