Simply Put, "Paulson is The Man"
Very interesting article on hedge fund manager John Paulson.
http://www.portfolio.com/executives/features/2009/01/07/John-Paulson-Profits-in-Downturn
This has got to be the trade of the year, maybe decade:
Long before the financial crisis hit, Paulson, according to one person briefed on the trade, invested $22 million in a credit default swap that eventually paid $1 billion when the federal government opted not to rescue Lehman Brothers. That amounts to a staggering $45.45 for each dollar invested. -(Conde Nast Portfolio)

Getting back on track
It's about time I put up a new post. It's been over 3 months since my last one so I figured, eh, what the heck. As far as the markets go, volatility is the name of the game.
Apple (AAPL) released earnings today, their stock shooting up over 11 points after hours. Apple was hovering at a 52 week low near $78. It is now trading above $90. Several traders were using the $80 level as support. If Apple traded below this barrier for a couple days then that would have been a signal to start shorting the stock. Amazing what earnings can do.
IBM reported really good earnings last night. Their stock shot up over 11% today. Other tech notables doing well today are Google (GOOG) and Research in Motion (RIMM).
