They're Not Giving Up on the V

Another V-shaped rally back to recent highs on the S&P 500 Index, seen below on the daily chart, leaves many market players in an interesting spot as we head into the final two holiday-shortened weeks of 2014. I did not do too much swing trading this week, not only due to the overnight gaps and wild price moves in both directions but also...

Capable of a Monstrous Squeeze Attack

I still view IMAX as an explosive short squeeze candidate to the upside, especially as we head into the big Hollywood Christmas film releases. The stock remains very heavily-shorted.

I am still in the UNP short, with my cover-stop over $124.

To be sure, $20.53 represents a logical stop-loss zone for longs here, in the event some headlines come out over the weekend driving the oil price lower. But the initial, scary plunge earlier...

Late Night Strategy for Friday

On the latest push lower in the precious metals miners this month, the junior gold miners in the GDXJ ETF (daily chart, below) actually lagged the senior miners in the GDX ETF. Typically, that is a bearish sign of "risk off" in the complex, with the presumption of another leg lower in the space imminent. However, precious metals miners have...
