Continue reading →: Nokia Turmoil
Last week news in the tech sector were all about Microsoft and its new mobile OS and tablet. As I pointed out, those were good news for MS, but bad news for Nokia, its partner in the mobile. This week many reputed analysts made several statements that confirm what I…

Continue reading →: Never Ending Euro Summits
Aside from a bloodbath in the the preceding days, not much has happened in the financial markets. Today, I was at Lisbon, having a lunch with an investment portfolio manager, where we discussed the present state of affairs in Europe. Our major conclusion was that the main event in the…

Moody’s has announced lower ratings for 15 Global Banks. On the bright side is JP Morgan which is one of the most praised banks on Moody’s report. On the other hand banks like Bank of America and Royal Bank of Scotland are among the riskier banks. This confirms what I…

In the 80’s Microsoft won the war against Apple by introducing a cheaper good enough alternative Operating System (OS). In the present the war will be won by the first one to achieve the full compatibility between Mobile and PC. Microsoft nearly achieved that today. The new Windows Phone 8…

This headlines might feel like good news, but there’s still room for some gloom. In the good side there is the fact that EU has not lost hope on Greece… yet. This probably means that a coalition is on the way in Greece and the EU bureaucrats now have reasons…

First election results indicate that the New Democracy (ND) party and Pasok party, together can achieve the majority in the Greek parliament.

Hi Fren,
Pepe Maltese
I used to trade inside the machine. Now I just raid it.
I publish two high-conviction setups daily — one momentum, one turnaround — filtered through tape structure, volume shifts, and misaligned narratives.
Some of these turn into full trades. A few evolve into deeper stories. The rest get cut.
This isn’t education. This is intelligence.
I don’t run ads. I don’t sell dreams. I track price, watch structure, and call bullshit when the story breaks.
Follow the setups. Fade the noise. Stick it to the man.
