**Taking a bite out of the Apple
Dear Reader,
As far as fear goes, it’s supposed to be a healthy thing. Fear of danger keeps us at a safer distance than we might otherwise tread. Fear of failure keeps us trying harder. And fear of missing out on this rally has made it self-fulfilling. [...]

**Waiting for Columbus
Dear Reader,
Waiting for a healthy pullback in this hyped-up and high-flying rally is like waiting for Columbus to discover America, again…it already happened. And while that was no little feat in the first place, it seems like discovering a solid base from which to load back up on stocks again [...]

**No Slob Indeed…
Dear Reader,
On May 26, 2009, I recommended you “SELL Schlumberger November $50 PUTS (SLBWJ.X)” which were trading at $6.10.
At that time, I was recommending buying Schlumberger because I liked its prospects, but we were playing it safe. By selling the puts we would have been happy to buy the stock [...]

**Protection, Prudence, Possibility and Profit
Dear Reader,
Protection: Because it’s a lot easier to accumulate wealth by not losing it, we’re going to bank gains when we have them and put protective stops under our profitable positions. No matter what happens, we will ring the cash register. “A penny saved is a penny earned.”
And, [...]

**Labor of Love
Dear Reader,
Wouldn’t it be nice if all our labors were as productive as our portfolio looks?
No, I’m not counting our chickens before they are hatched, but we are prudently positioned and appropriately balanced, which should continue to yield us gains.
On August 25, 2009 we added Electro Optical Sciences (MELA) to [...]

And indeed it was…
Dear Reader,
I titled my May 15, 2009 letter to you “MARVELous opportunity.” And, indeed it was. We bought Marvel Entertainment (MVL) that day for $31.75.
In case you didn’t catch the early breaking news this morning, here it is directly from the Wall Street Journal’s newswire alert service:

** Food vs. Fashion
Dear Reader,
What we look for at The Trigger Event Strategist are standout events that, by themselves, or better yet, in conjunction with a host of other confirming events and statistics, point us to an opportunity that either makes perfect sense or makes the hairs on our arms stand up.
Sometimes the Triggers make [...]

**Swimming with sharks
Dear Reader,
The saying goes, “If you want to learn to swim you’ve got to get into the water.” We’ve been in the water and swimming along very nicely. We’re up 88% on our Saks Inc. (SKS) position, 65% on our Schlumberger Ltd. (SLB) position, and 38% on our Market Vectors [...]

**Patience Pays…
Dear Reader,
Patience pays off when the markets are at a crossroads, as they were just over a week ago. On August 7th I recommended Inovio Biomedical Corporation (INO) and said we’d be watching for the rally to prove itself. If it did I said that we were going to be picking [...]
