Inspector Garmin: Go Gadget Go!

It has been more than ten years since the Garmin craze in the middle of last decade, when driving past cars at night and seeing the glow of a cool-looking Quest and then Nüvi was practically a status symbol. Since then, the navigation hardware has practically become a casualty of capitalism's creative destruction, with step-by-step voice...

Here Comes the River Card for Zynga...

ZNGA is selling off today in front of earnings tonight, among a few other firms of note like SNAP COHR BEAT etc.. Zynga has seen an improved chart in a hot sector, and could easily be a buyout target. So, the dump today is interesting to say the least. I am looking to see if the names bounces back tonight to keep it on the radar. As for the...

Let's Start a Cocoa Farm

In addition to the move in natural gas this week, another under-the-radar commodity is cocoa. The NIB, admittedly a thinly-traded ETN, still gives a pretty good idea of the resurgent strength in cocoa.

Who Blinks First?

Of all the major indices we regularly review for Members, the lone part of the market where bears could still make a colorable claim of something amiss of late has remained the small (and micro) cap stocks. We have repeatedly looked the remarkably compressed IWM daily chart, updated below, which is the actively-traded ETF for those Russell 2000...

Cleveland-Cliffs: We're Contenders Now

Flying under-the-radar today would seem to be several materials plays snapping back amid the Dollar softening. Cleveland-Cliffs, below on the daily chart, is an excellent example of a "hammer" reversal candlestick from Halloween. The elements for this hammer are fulfilled, as we have 1) A prior, steep downdraft 2) A big move down, followed by...

Positive Energy in a Sea of Negativity

The oil services stocks, using the OIH ETF as a proxy, has been a glaring laggard during oil's recent resurgence. Titans like HAL NOV SLB, among others, have mostly sat out the rally and watched as large cap integrated plays like COP and exploration firms like COG surged. However, the longer the crude rally lasts the more likely it is that SLB...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

It may be a bit tough to track down these days (in terms of Amazon Prime and Netflix, for example) but it is well worth the effort to catch Denis Leary's television series, Rescue Me . The show falls into the mixed genre of comedy-drama. It premiered on the FX Network in 2004 and concluded on September 7, 2011, a few days short of the tenth...
