I'm Gonna Go Sell the Papers, Sell the Papers
With the way the paper/packaging plays are behaving today, as a Member astutely noted, AMZN may have a ugly surprise coming up for earnings later this week on Thursday. But even if the Amazon extrapolation is too much of a stretch, there is no doubt that stocks like PKG IP KS GLT WRK are getting decimated today, acting like they are getting...

Battling the Elements
Working our way through the New York lunch hour, stocks are still churning. The small/mid-cap biotechnology issues housed in the XBI ETF are actually outperforming here, up over 1% as I write this, which is impressive considering the IWM (small cap ETF of the Russell) is lagging and flirting with a breakdown below $100, seen on the 10-minute...

The Euro Looks Ready for a Chic, Trendy, Dirt Nap
In the wake of Mario Draghi's Dove-fest this week, the Euro is teetering on a fresh leg down versus the Dollar, in particular. For a while now, the Euro/Dollar cross has been in strong downtrend, even if it has yet to go to parity.

Let's Fix This Problem
With earnings now out of the way for Starbucks, one lingering issue is the huge spread between the endless multi-year uptrend for SBUX versus the perennial heartbreaker of JO, the coffee ETN. While it is true that Starbucks is not necessarily intimately tied to the price of coffee, or perhaps anything close to it, there could no doubt be an...
