Can You Guess Which Sector Made Six-Year Highs Today?
Well, not quite six-year highs yet, but steel stocks in the SLX ETF hit their highest collective level today, at $51.91, since May 2012. On the SLX daily chart, below, note the move up and out of the high and tight bull flag today. We all know names like X garner much attention, but there are plenty of other steels which are sporting alluring...

Setting Up Camp
After another opening gap higher, one of our Members astutely pointed out that the small caps housed in the Russell 2000 Index seemed hell-bent on rather immediately filling said gap lower. At first, it appeared as though the larger cap indices would ignore the Russell. However, once IWM (ETF for the Russell) flipped red, you could almost...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
The Romanian television series, Umbre , is currently available on Amazon Prime in America. Umbre aired via HBO Europe, and is probably the closest thing you will ever see to a legitimate hidden gem. There have been two seasons so far, but I expect more to come as the show serves as a great ambassador for eastern European filmmaking. Much...

Slow and Steady Floats the Chase
Another opening gap higher in the broad market, after yet another late-day fade yesterday afternoon, is putting virtually all traders to the test this morning.

A Diggstown Hustle Market
With the various whipsaws and indecision across equities and indeed many markets, I am hedged up again in my trading portfolio. Bulls and bears can cherry-pick a fair amount of tidbits regarding this market, but the reality is that equities are being jerked in several different directions at once, which warnings signs popping up like a...

The Ole Excuse Versus Catalyst Conundrum for Snap
The action in Snapchat this week raises a fairly common conundrum in markets and trading: Whether an event or series of events function as an excuse for an overdue market move or, instead, whether they act as a catalyst to precipitate the move. SNAP was actually a name we were long last week, electing to sell into strength due to broad...

Did You Store Enough for Winter?
For every earnings beat and rally by a stock which had been a high-flying name into the report, there are also plenty of instances like ROKU, a stock which had performed valiantly since its last earnings report back in November 2017 and not given back much since. When names like ROKU rally into their report and then continue afterwards, many...
