Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

If you are in the mood for a well-acted, dark comedy which practically defines what the word " risqué" means, then Secretary (2002) is certainly worth a viewing. James Spader, one of my favorite actors, stars as an overbearing lawyer towards his emotionally vulnerable secretary Maggie Gyllenhaal. The two soon cross over the line from...

No Way, Jose!

The latest update on Tropical Storm Jose from the National Hurricane Center can be visually absorbed from their graphic, above, and see in full here . It has obviously been a busy season, any way you slice it. And if Jose does strengthen to do some damage along the eastern seaboard of America in the next week or so, we want to have some...

Don't Arbitrage at Arby's

Instead of Arby's (partly owned by Wendy's), head on over to Yum! Brands, Inc. for a tastier version of "arbitrage." Specifically, for Yum! Brands, owner of KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut, the U.S. stores are slipping today (first daily chart, below, for YUM), while the China version of the YUM (ticker YUMC, second daily chart, below) is...

Merrie Olde England

It has been a while since we update the British Pound Sterling analysis. But long-time readers will recall we continue to look for a bottom here, given the technicals, in part, of the FXB (ETF for the Sterling versus a basket of developed economy currencies). On the FXB weekly chart, below, the Pound has done an admirable job of moving to its...

An Old Bucket Shop Play

As far as issues which trade on a major exchange (in this case, the Nasdaq), it does not get too much more speculative than a very small cap China play in the electric car sector. And, yet, if Kandi Technologies Group, Inc., based Jinhua, China, cannot figure out a way to turn its beaten-down chart around now, I suspect it may never find a...

First Solar Might Be Next in Line

Given the recent news flow, China solar plays have, understandably, been the focus of attention for momentum traders within the TAN (sector ETF for solars). However, it is worth remembering that the domestic solar plays still may very well stand to benefit from the populist tone in Washington. Beyond politics, the First Solar chart, below on...

If the Market is on Yayo, Then We Must Look at Zayo

All in all, today shaped up as a hangover of sorts after the Apple event yesterday, despite some fireworks with China electrical car play KNDI rallying but EFC and iRobot tanking. Still, it is tough to become too bearish on the Nasdaq when it is not giving much back off its recent gains. And if we do continue to chug on higher, a name like...
