Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas

The Conversation (1974) is one of those great films from the 1970s which is too easily overlooked, given some of the masterpieces which were also released during that time period. This one stars Gene Hackman and John Cazale, and is written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Hackman plays a much more secretive character than his famous...

Opting for a Peaceful Long Holiday Weekend; Chess Moves

After a solid week, with my seminal trade being the big long UGAZ win, I am opting to move back to flat into the long, holiday weekend with Presidents' Day on Monday closing the market for the full session.  As such, I sold my USLV long at $24.15 from my earlier $24.49 entry for a small loss, less than 2%. I did not like the fade this afternoon...

Well-Defined Friday Afternoon Trade Ideas

This afternoon I am looking to see if natural gas, on the UNG daily chart ETF first below, can break up and out of the 20-day moving average (orange line). As you can see, it has been "gnawing away" at it. Perhaps I may take another shot at UGAZ today or next week if it does break higher. And crude may be setting up as a short again, off that...

Socially Awkward

Despite the resurgence of top holding LNKD, the SOCL - ETF for social media stocks - looks suspiciously weak here.  To be sure, other components have formed a mixed bag. But Facebook, a top three holding in the SOCL ETF, continues to struggle after a well-define rising wedge breakdown, highlighted in light blue on the updated daily chart,...

Working a New Trade; Chess Moves

I just went long USLV, the triple-long silver ETF, at $24.49 with a protective stop-loss below $23. This is roughly a 4% position in my trading portfolio. As I discussed in my last blog post, silver is leading the charge higher in the precious metals and mining space today.  Into the long holiday weekend, with markets closed on Monday for...

The Last Good Stand: Precious Metals and Miners

The breakout in silver this morning, highlighted on the daily chart ETF below, is just what the doctor ordered for gold bugs given the weak action following last Friday's jobs number.  When we see the chart from a broad perspective, note that this recent low likely marks the last stand for bulls to try to enforce a major bottoming formation,...

More Vision to the Situation

I posted the following chart of Treasuries on Stocktwits last night, the daily timeframe for the TLT ETF. The chart seemed to garner much interest, as the bond market appears to be at some critical juncture.  The main issue on this rising wedge breakdown is whether it would be another routine pullback in an otherwise ferocious bull market,...
