On Track to Break Bad This Summer
Although it has been sacrilegious to suggest it, the failure of bonds to sustain an oversold bound of late does indeed constitute at least some change in character, compared to what we have seen for a while now. After I sold my TBT long last week (an ultra-short ETF targeting the likes of TLT), I expected at least some type of bounce in bonds...

A Wet Republic of Underwater MGM Longs
After the heavily-promoted but Mayweather/Pacquiao fight turned into a punchline of sorts due to its anticlimactic nature, combined with soft Macau numbers this morning, MGM Resorts International is notably lagging a market bounce. On the daily chart, below, note the potential for another breakdown below $21. Bulls will want to salvage the...

Back Over the Net to Berkshire Bulls
If you followed my work back in 2010 through 2012, then you know I was wildly bullish on Berkshire Hathaway as a long-term investment, not just due to the highlighted symmetrical triangle pattern seen on the monthly chart, below, but also to a myriad of other factors. As the largest component of the XLF, sector ETF for the financials, it merits...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
In light of the mega fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao later tonight, I am going to recommend an old favorite of mine, the boxing film Diggstown (1992). A James Woods classic, you will find one of his best performances in this overlooked late-summer of 1992 film. Woods plays a “good con man” in lieu of just another...

Look Here for a Big Surrender Scene
Much like our analysis earlier this week about TWTR down to $36 and YELP down as low as $30, as potential downside targets after their respective earnings blow-ups, LNKD could easily drop to $190 this summer before looking for a durable bottom. While certainly oversold, short-term as you can see LNKD punching down through its lower weekly...

Alternative Energy; Traditional Concepts
Last weekend on Stocktwits I posted a weekly chart of for the TAN ETF of the solar sector, updated below. The crux of the thesis was that prior highs were likely adding to the initial, overhead supply found with the weekly candlestick from two weeks ago, noting the fade. Even though solars are higher today, a name like FSLR is faltering and...

A Notable Spot Overhead
One aspect about this morning's gap higher in the market which I am watching is Gilead's move up to that $104 level, highlighted below on a zoomed-out 30-minute chart. As the saying goes, "price has memory." And an initial fade off those once-support-then-resistance level would be not all that unsurprising. Going back to last August 2014, the...
