Balancing Out the Move in Gold

Back on September 15th we noted a potential scenario for gold and her miners in this blog post . The setup was not unlike equities in the summer 2009--A significant rally for months on end coming off a major bear market bottom, followed by a fairly obvious daily chart head and shoulders top. The quick washout, followed by a pivot to commence...

The Allure of the Rails' Yesteryear

After noting their consistently bearish price action for quarters on end, the majority of the railroad stocks have been in steady-as-she-goes uptrends since the winter months. The Norfolk Southern daily chart, below, illustrates as much, with even today's soft tape not inflicting any selling on the name. Other large rails like CP CSX UNP have...

It's All Fun and Games Until the Market Tests Your Mystique

Warren Buffett finally shed at least some light on the Wells Fargo situation last week, downplaying a report that he wants to transform the WFC Board.

Despite The Fed standing pat at its most recent meeting and not raising rates, some of the reactions by the "rate-sensitive" sectors hint at tightening cycle still underway.

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

Netflix recently ordered a second season of Last Chance U (2016), its first sports documentary. And if the second season comes anywhere close to the quality of the first season's six episodes, it will be a huge success. Without question, the first season of Last Chance U , released this past July, surpassed the expectations of even the...

An Oktoberfest Truce for Deutsche Bank?

As we noted earlier, the heightened non-financial media exposure to DB over the last twenty-four hours or so reached a crescendo to the point where an imminent swoon became less likely. After all, if everyone is thinking the same, then no one is thinking. That is not to say DB has permanently bottomed, but as we finish the day, week, month,...

Operation Market Garden-Variety Pullback

A morning upside reversal in German bank Deutsche Bank is adding fuel to the broad market's upside rally as we speak. In some respects, the reversal should not have come as too much of a surprise, given the headlines suddenly appearing on non-financial media websites and television shows about the bank and its potential issues.
