They Did it All for the Glory of Love

While equities here stateside are mostly ignoring the Dollar/Yen surging past 151 today, we still have a busy week ahead of us with the FOMC tomorrow, AAPL earnings Thursday evening, followed by the jobs report on Friday.  On that note, did the Bank of Japan really tweak their infamous Yield Curve Control policy out of love? I see yet another...

Well, I Got Some Moves I Can Make Here

Bollinger Bands, the eponymous technical indicator named after its creator, John Bollinger, are "pinching" on the monthly chart for Cathie Wood's ARKK ETF, seen below. For most of this year, I have held SARK, a bear ETF for ARKK, with Members in the service. It is now one of my best performing positions in a year with tons of outliers for me. ...

Here's the Punchline: The Selling is Still Orderly!

With the Nasdaq Composite Index finally (finally!) losing its 200-day simple moving average today, at least so far, every single stock index is below its 200-day m.a.. This circumstance typically begets more selling, not unlike on the way up the buying led to more buying which is a consequences of system/automated trading strategies.  That...

A Higher Lowjob

Amid deteriorating equities, sticky high rates and Dollar, and mixed earnings results so far (see: GOOGL vs. MSFT last evening), we have the VIX making higher lows at a steady pace over the last five or six weeks.  Beyond that, the VIX remains right around 20, which is historically low if you accept that we are in the midst of a bear market or...

Remember Me: Benny Blanco from the Bank?

Much like Benny Blanco from the Bronx , this failed bounce in the regional banking sector ETF (KRE, daily chart, below) looks to have come home to roost for bulls.  Specifically, with all that is going on in the world, and in other markets besides equities, it has been quite easy to assume the worst is over for the vulnerable regional banks....

Some Days it Rains

A mixed, slow tape in front of what should be a week which picks up speed into some major earnings reports has me taking care of some personal business today more than anything else.  In light of the Major League Baseball playoffs in full swing, I am reminded of the great film, Bull Durham (1988), and to paraphrase the quote, "Some days you...

The Granddaddy of Them All

The big Wilshire 5000 Index, below on its daily timeframe, tracks every single stock traded in America, weighted by market cap. After a bounce off the 200-day simple moving average (yellow line) earlier this bounce, we are on track to see the Wilshire close back below the 200-day into the weekend on this options expiration Friday.  This is all...

The Paper Chase

I once had a law professor who was rather acerbic and mercurial. He intentionally had his students buy a certain casebook of common law cases which he despised so that he could teach "against it" all semester. His rationale was that he found it quite boring to use a casebook which contained court decisions he mostly agreed--That is how much he...
