The Sopranos Ends

10:30pm: Was that a great ending?

061007_the_sopranos.jpg

I agree with the theory that Tony DOES get killed at the end. He gets shot in the cafe and the screen goes black, sudden ending, no noise, no nothing. Tony is dead. His last vision in life is his daughter walking through the door. If that is the case, Brilliant!

As someone said on the internet already “Just as Tony was realizing what was really important in life…. his family…. he gets killed. It’s tragic, because he was a tragic character. He was destined for tragedy!”

“Or you can think he just lived happily ever after…”

Thank You Readers!

It’s the weekend but I wanted to take the time to thank everyone that continues to visit this blog on a daily, weekly and/or monthly basis. As you can see from the image below, chrisperruna.com has been growing on a steady pace since launching on December 4, 2006.

Prior to writing on chrisperruna.com, I was blogging on my blogspot account without steady growth. Viewing this chart makes it all worth it!

I am not pulling down numbers like TraderMike or WallStreetFighter YET but anything can happen!

The Kirk Report: Blogs I Read

I want to thank Charles Kirk over at the Kirk Report for listing my blog as one of his “Blogs I read”.

What’s the big deal?

Well, his blog is viewed by many as one of the best on the web and I tend to agree. We use similar techniques as far as fundamental and technical analysis is concerned but he trades for a living and I am not quite there, yet!

Take the time to check out his blog and view the results of his portfolio over the past several years. It’s worth your time.

A few of the Accolades his blog has received:

  • Barron’s: Interview (April 2006)
  • Stocks & Commodities Magazine: Websites For Traders (March 2005)
  • Barron’s: Favorite Financial Blog (October & November 2004)
  • Kiplinger’s Magazine: Must-Read Blogger (October 2006)
  • Forbes: Best Of The Web Picks (December 2004 & 2005)
  • American Association of Individual Investors: Must-See Website (March 2005)
  • BusinessWeek: Recommended Blogs (July 2005)
  • MSN Money: Top Blogger (May 2006)
  • The Wall Street Journal: Popular Investment Blog (August 2005)

Annotated Stock Charts

All stocks, case studies and general market analysis that appear on this blog are entered into my public list of annotated charts over at Stockcharts.com. I update the annotations from week to week and sometimes from day to day for specific stocks. The list currently contains 83 real time charts with stocks I own, stocks I am researching, stocks I watch, stocks I have sold and stocks that interest me. It also contains charts for the major market indexes, commodity comparisons, currency comparisons, ticks, oil, gold, highs, lows, etc…



The best part is that these charts contain market data that is updated every 15 minutes from the stockcharts database or content provider. As the market data feeds into the charts, my annotations move along with time and clearly show how well the analysis is panning out (or poorly in some cases).

Feel free to visit my public stock charts list and definitely vote for it if you enjoy the work I am doing. I don’t get anything for the vote except maybe a smile for work well done!



I’ve Been Tagged

I’ve been tagged by my friends Kimber and Erin over at No Limits Ladies. Before I start, I must ask: Am I so serious that tagging may not be appropriate for me or this blog? I need to tone it down, loosen up and have some more fun if that is how I am viewed – just kidding ladies.

So here goes:

My Five Obsessions?
1. My Wife, Family & Friends
2. My Dog Bob! (now that’s a good looking dog)
3. The Stock Market
4. Blogging
5. Football and Baseball (watching and/or playing)

5. It acts as a public journal (somewhat) for my research and trades.

I’ll tag a few people if Interested:
