Make Smoking Great Again

High-yielding tobacco stocks, namely Altria (MO) and Philip Morris (they used to be one in the same before PM spun-off the international business years ago) are classic examples of defensive names in which one can ''hide out" during risk-off periods in the market. Clearly, cigarette smoking is not nearly as ubiquitous as it was, say, during...

The Slide is Still Closed

Just when it appears as though the broad market is ripe for a more standard summer correction, large cap banks, energy, some Dow names like CAT after earnings, and assorted other rotation threats are attempting to offset continued weakness in many tech names as I write this. To be sure, the looming prospect of the FOMC this week, then a jobs...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

I alluded to the film in a blog past this week. So, now would be as good a time as any to recommend Marathon Man (1976), starring the impressive acting trio of Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier, and Roy Scheider. Written by the great William Goldman, and directed by John Schlesinger, the film hooks you in right from the opening scene and...

His First Appearance in a Good While

The RSI (Relative Strength Index), seen on the bottom pane of the IWM (ETF for the Russell 2000 small cap Index) weekly chart, below, is often seen as irrelevant during a bullish trend, since there are too many false signals and negative divergences which not only fail to resolve price lower, but actually seem to trap in shorts before the next...

Emerging Markets: Another Round or No Mas

We sold a quick YINN (triple-levered long China country ETF) trade into strength yesterday inside the service after writing a blog post last Friday about the prospects for emerging markets to generally stage a relief rally after being pummeled this spring and summer. Still, when a corrective chart becomes quickly overbought, as FXI (YINN is...

You Know Cashish Has Been Legalized Too, Right?

Despite the surge on the major averages into the closing bell yesterday on the EU/Trump news, inside Market Chess Subscription Services I moved to my heaviest trading portfolio cash position in quite some time. Simply put, the broad market is attempting to stave off summer volatility and indeed a correction by continuing to play the rotation...
