A Squeeze Type of Riff

The move back over $113.70 on the IWM, a level had been tracking for the small caps ETF, took me out of two tester shorts inside Market Chess Subscription Services for losses earlier in the session. At the moment, I am sidelined and watching the likes of BABA, Goldman, biotech, and small caps squeeze ferociously intraday into a slew of big...

Proving Netflix's Guilt

After earnings, glamorous market leader NFLX is down more than 7% as I write this. To my eye, sentiment is becoming something of a stalemate, with plenty of Netflix skeptics for a good while now balanced out by those who believe the firm is just getting started with its international and original content growth campaigns and disruptions. Of...

Chicken Teriyaki Boy Morning

It looks as though equities are eschewing sushi for the more domestic chicken teriyaki, ignoring the strength in the Japanese Yen for the meantime as we bounced at the open. As I write this, the Yen is pushing higher yet, which makes the bounce attempt in stocks all the morning intriguing to see if it holds. On the IWM, ETF for the small...

Coming Around the Mountain in a Dangerous Market

Headed into the final hour of trading, here is a quick update to that SPY 30-minute chart rising channel breakdown we have been tracking. Buyers failed to build on this morning's strength, for now, and small caps are pushing session lows as I write this. We do have NFLX earnings tonight after the bell, which should be fireworks one way or the...

All in All, It's Just Another Brick in the Wal-Mart

Those of you who have followed my work for years know that I turned wildly bullish on WMT In October 2011, back when everyone assumed AMZN had rendered WMT completely obsolete, among other competitors. Technically. Wal-Mart was basing very tightly on the monthly timeframe, updated below, and appeared ripe to surprise the majority with an...

TRIP or Treat

On the back of news about TripAdvisor (TRIP) and The Priceline Group (PCLN) forming a strategic partnership, competitor Expedia (EXPE) is selling off, down nearly 5% as I write this. This type of event is a good example of what often happens in markets, as many are quick to point to a very convenient "catalyst" for the EXPE selling,...

Intel the Bellwether

Intel is often referred to as a "bellwether stock," for semiconductors, technology, and perhaps the market at-large. To be sure, Intel has been around the block, now a mature, even old, tech firm amid a slew of young gunslingers in a changing landscape. But with earnings after the bell tonight, INTC should give us insight if the semis in the...
