Alchemy In The News


  • "I've had more time to digest your site and it is even better than at first glance." -- Gary Smith, Author Of "How I Trade For A Living", August 12, 2005

  • "Alchemy Of Trading is a bit different from those we've reviewed before although Stephen Vita posts plenty of breaking market news and related charts. Vita, who has an MBA and has been trading professionally for 15 years, presents a stream-of-consciousness in his multiple daily posts...also shares commentary on his own portfolio and trades...a better tool for experienced investors who can blend this conversation in with their own studied experience." --- Barron's, March 7, 2005

  • "Ten years ago, professional stock trader Stephen Vita, never one to hang around the office, would go on bike rides around New York City carrying a book-size box with an antenna sticking out and stock tickers flashing across a display screen." --- BusinessWeek Online, April 27, 2005

SUBSCRIBER FEEDBACK

  • "Keep up the great market calls. I know you don't like the Street "Predictors", but your sense of when to move in and out of positions is uncanny. Whatever the source, just keep on doing it!" -- Fred Ballantiene , March 1, 2007
  • "I've cancelled most of my other subscriptions to focus on what you offer at Alchemy.....thanks for your work, Stephen." -- Sanja Hite, May, 12, 2007
  • "Your honesty about both good trades and trades gone bad keeps me coming back because that's how we learn."-- Jack Dombroski, June 1, 2007

Re-Broadcast Of A Few Short Picks By the Professor 8/24/06 1:40 PM

Bca040 8/22/06  Had the opportunity to speak to The Professsor, my short-oriented friend, this afternoon while I was enduring the Comcast crash, and he's just back from vacation and ready to begin another Nag roundup of stocks possibly headed to the Glue Factory

First of all, he gave a tip of the derby to the guy interviewed in Barron's this week because David Richards is on to this consumer slowdown theme that The Prof has been talking about.

So that means retailers, restaurants, and by extension homebuilders are potential meat on the hoof......the only question is where to safely re-load, and since he's been out of the market for ten days he'll be looking for bounces/bear flags.

The other major target remains Metals/Materials, and he thinks bounces in these stocks are one of the best risk/reward short trades out there right now.

So here are a few charts to consider:
