Syma Helicopters A Joy

Added on by C. Maoxian.

My boy recently turned 11 and I got him this little Syma helicopter as a gift.  It's such a joy to fly that we fight over it, and Dad has had to order one of his own now (well, a larger model, the S032). It's super stable, charges using a USB cable, has a flight time of around six to eight minutes, and is beautifully constructed. A steal at $20! 

Better Grab The Best Of Your Life

Found via Spotify's Weekly Discover, Frazey Ford singing September Fields ... again, their algo is serving me stuff I like:

Shadow Cast Over First Solar

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Flipping through the charts this long weekend, I also see that First Solar (FSLR) set up short. It has already triggered, but the minimum target is so far down there that you should still take a look at it.

Bad News for Gold Bugs

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Despite the broad market sort of collapsing, gold isn't doing much. In fact, Barrick Gold (ABX) looks like a short to me for the third time in three years. Frayed-shirtcuff Elliott Wavers spotted a short set-up in February 2014, and again in May 2015. Now in January 2016, the voodoo is projecting a target price of $4ish. Ugly.

Opening Minutes Range Reversals

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Linda Bradford Raschke probably has a name for this one ... needs to be high percentage because the risk reward ain't great. Not for the aged. 

Summer Scooter Selection

Added on by C. Maoxian.

I plan to buy a scooter next summer to zip around the countryside on ... there are two 49cc choices offered by the Japanese for tough guys like me: the Yamaha Vino and the Honda Metropolitan.

From an aesthetic viewpoint, I prefer the Vino: two-tone paint and sharper wheels. Not sure how much they differ in price. Would be nice to take the kids to school on a scooter instead of firing up the CR-Vibrator for a five minute trip twice a day. Wonder how well a 49cc machine can handle the hills of Ithaca, especially while hauling my Falstaffian bulk.
