Stock Pursuit

Was surprised

Surprised by how much is covered. From fundamental analysis, to technical analysis, economic commentary. Ideas seem good though but are not that timely.... site not frequently updated

Decent blog

Mark is a young guy and still learning a lot. His site is okay but I wouldn't recommend it. The main reason why is I didn't find much information on it to be useful. His last post was on September 13th. Lets hope he didn't get run out of the game. There are much better places to be on the web than stockpursuit.com. Because it really isn't pursuing anything.

Must watch his custom made cartoon movies

I loved Mark's blog simply for the video cartoons that he periodically does. He recently created one with a talkshow host interviewing Ben Bernake. Ben only has great things to say about the economy but periodically slips in a joke or two (i.e. helicoptors might drop dollar bills to us). There are also solid articles on the overall market as well as trading ideas. If you want entertainment, then be sure to watch the videos.

unique

Mark' ideas first of all are very good, he is a talented trader....the sight does cover a myriad of topics which makes it unique. I like the deep value microcap plays because that is very useful to me. The daytrading less so. Mark has another site where you can see his trades at http://www.dynamitestocks.com/

Hybrid FA/TA Blog that is hopefully not devolving

When I first started reading Stock Pursuit, Mark mainly focused on Deep Value Microcap plays (meaning stocks trading below liquidation value in most cases, he in particular likes/d Net-Nets), He found things I didn't so I really liked that!.

But then over time he started incorpoating some Sykes like daytrades with those plays.And that's when things kinda went "meh".

Really pretty unique in that respect (combining charts with Deep value plays) and I know of no other blog exactly like that on the interwebs. I thought Reaper of Reapertrades might evolve into something like this, but instead he's basically become an almost purely Sykes style shorter, at least in what he shares publicly.

The big downside is at least for the blog is that he no longer seems to post daily, instead every once every fortnight or so at best.

This makes me very sad, since I liked what he was doing better than another Sykes clone (do all microcap paths lead back to Sykes? seriously).

Lately he seems to have given up on Deep value plays altogether (niot unsual for people who do this for a living, they get too impatient when loooking at charts everyday) Unfortunately for him it doesn't appear that transition has worked out for him just yet.

But that's not unsual, it can take years before you get good really good at trading. And props to him for owning up to his struggles.

I hope he sticks with it, the kid to me appears to have talent and he has integrity. Both invaluable for people on our end and better for him if he actually wants to get better.

Fortunately mark is still active and you can him find more often on his newer site Dynamite stocks, which is focused on his trades

He also has a very active twitter account he uses as well.

I really wish his blog was more active as it was once a 4-5 star blog, but since it's not , I give his stock pursuit blog 3 stars :(

Overall a pretty decent blog.

I go there to check on Mark's watchlist. He's very specific on his watchlist (as far as the different types of patterns forming). Overall a pretty decent blog.

Great Material Always There to Help

Mark's blog is great. He puts a lot of time into what he writes and makes you think. Not only will he mention a stock and describe why he likes it but will go through revenue numbers, assests and liabilites, and other fundamental aspects. Don't be fooled he doesn't just have material on fundamentals but on technicals too! He even goes into depth on current issues we are facing both micro and macro.
