Optical Illusions Taking Shape
Crude is reversing higher a bit here, from short-term very oversold conditions. The issue is whether it is worth the trouble to consider trading crude from the long side. And when we observe the updated USO daily chart, a retail proxy for crude as it is the ETF, we can see a potential "hammer" reversal candlestick being printed today. Of...

It Just Ain't So
"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." -Mark Twain One concept which we have been discussing frequently inside Market Chess Subscription Services has been to not assume support.

And, yet, when we observe the updated 30-minute chart of the QQQ, ETF for the Nasdaq-100, we can see a lack of a "V-shape" rally, which we have seen so many...

John Adams: Liberty Will Reign
Not only is the following clip worth playing at least once a year, especially on the Fourth of July, but the show on which it was featured, the HBO mini-series John Adams (2008), is well worth a viewing or a repeat (or three-peat, etc.). John Adams (2008) stars Paul Giamatti, Laura Linney, Stephen Dillane, among other talented character...

A Rising Star in the Coffee Game
Although they are not publicly-traded and I do not have any business affiliation with them at all, I would be remiss not to note that Rook Coffee Roasters is a rising star in the coffee shop world. Rook Coffee currently has several locations along New Jersey's "Shore Points," near the beach in central Jersey. What makes their business...
