A Spectacle for All to See

Perhaps the main issue with shorting into yesterday's broad market reversal lower was that the prospect of a "blow-off top" or major reversal day off the Dow hitting 26,000 (and the S&P hitting 2800--Big, round but arbitrary numbers indeed) became blatantly obvious. Typically, the market will not top out in such an in-your-face manner, per se....

A Straight Hustle if I've Ever Seen One

After a spectacular start to 2018, we saw a massive gap higher this morning reverse down after the Dow Jones Industrial Average surprised the big, round (but arbitrary) 26,000 level. The above description would seem to be an ideal short setup for bears looking to pounce on an exhaustion move. And while it is certainly true that many stocks are...

Trade Review: Adjusting to This Type of Market

Last Wednesday, January 10th, inside Market Chess Subscription Services I went long the mid-cap biotechnology stock, Bluebird bio.

Tesla Part of the Background Scenery

Given the melt-up we are seeing on the major averages, with "Dow 26,000" headlines making the rounds today in the non-financial news media, one would think that Tesla Inc. would surely be out in front of the tape ripping higher. That has not been the case, though, as TSLA has faded a bit in recent months into the market's background scenery....

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

With the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics approaching early next month, Chariots of Fire (1981) is one of the better movies referencing the Olympics. The theme song played in the clip below is iconic. This is definitely an inspiring film and worth checking out to get you into the mood. From imdb.com Two British track athletes, one a...

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

Headed into a three-day weekend, a hot broad market is still melting up as we speak. At this point, our focus in on those names which may have lagged this week but are not lagging the tape as a whole. In other words, we want to identify strong overall chart (meaning over a period of months, quarters, etc.) even if they have been quiet of late....

A Trick off the Old Blockchain

I must admit it was interesting to see Warren Buffett and his right-hand man, Charlie Munger, eschew Bitcoin and crypto currencies in general this week, throwing it largely into the same "too hard, and I don't understand it" basket they once threw virtually all of tech. And, yet, Berkshire Hathaway owns 134 million outstanding shares of...
