Add This One to the List
In a market full of divergences (which is not sufficient to declare a major top, but rather reinforces the scattered, choppy action as a whole), another one can be seen within the consumer staples sector. The storied Procter & Gamble is the top component in the XLP, consumer staple sector ETF. And PG is operating well below its declining...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
Last Tango in Paris (1972) manages to avoid the pitfalls of what could have been a very cheap exploitation of a film centered around steamy sex and carnal lust. Written and directed by the great Bernardo Bertolucci, this one is remembered for Marlon Brando's ambitious performance and his ability to perfectly counter Maria Schneider's sultry...

Into next week, I reckon something has to give on that front, with Russia either on the brink of another sharp mov down or instead finally stages a snapback bounce. Regarding crude itself, though, on a standalone basis we can see...

They'll Need to Go Fishing in the Red
Natural gas seems to be an interesting niche within the commodities complex, with strident perma-bulls and perms-bears alike chirping with each rally and swoon. I have not traded natty much in recent months, though long-time readers know I have traded UGAZ (the triple-long natural gas ETF) with fairly good results in recent years, occasionally...

Watch the Flank
With the market stuck in such an obvious range, there still exists the possibility for some type of sudden break, one way or the other. I see ALTR is continuing the semiconductor party this morning with a gap higher, while HRTX is doing the same for the hot generic healthcare plays--There may be more M&A activity yet in those sectors.

Sizing Up the Fight
Despite another failure by bears to follow-through lower on the sell-off earlier this week, bulls have not exactly sealed the deal with an upside range breakout either. Google may very well be a good example of this phenomenon among market leaders, beyond the major averages. On the daily chart, first below, the stock is rangebound though may...
