The Biggest Napoleon Complex
With all of the talk about rates, trade wars, the economy, leveraged loans, debt, and geopolitical risks, it is easy to lose track of the fact that of all the index charts we track for Members related to U.S. equities, it is actually the micro-cap issues which have been leading us lower. The IWC, ETF for the iShares Russell Micro-cap Index,...

A Defined Holiday Scene in Place
Despite persistent weakness in some iconic banking houses, like Goldman Sachs, as well as in the small caps, and in addition to recent stalwarts finally getting hit this morning (such as TTD ZS in software), the ETF for the top 100 stocks in the Nasdaq Composite Index is at least offering up a defined line in the sand headed into Wednesday's...

After being lulled into a certain sense of numbness regarding the daily whipsaws and faded gaps higher we have seen in this market over the past few weeks (if not months), this morning's latest installment of the opening surge playbook has more than held its own within the first ninety minutes of trading. While that may seem like a minor, if...

Look This Black Swan in the Eye
While we know Apple, GE, crude oil, and small caps have all had their issues in recent weeks, the price action in the banking sectors, gauging the KRE and XLF ETFs, has been most alarming. Prominent and even iconic global banking houses like DB GS MS have seen their stocks get pummeled with no mercy shown by the market for most of this...

Fighting the Good Fight
Whereas smooth, bull market uptrends often raise expectations of market players to the point where they become accustomed to the market delivering a plethora of home run long trades and much excitement to the upside, corrective markets often lower those expectations over time to the point where we simply applaud a good effort by bulls.
