Back-to-Back is Tougher Than It Looks

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has not turned in back-to-back green sessions since early-February, which is a fact that seems to be gaining more attention as an initial pop this morning was swiftly faded. However, as I write this bulls are putting up a decent fight, defending $180 on the QQQ ETF earlier as small caps also claw back to flat....

At the Behest of All Things Fed

Whether it is the Federal Reserve or the federal government, with various municipal and state's rights/power sprinkled in along the way, this market is clearly at the behest of all those powers as are we, individually. It is not a particularly normal thing for any of us in America. But as long as the virus is a clear and present danger we are...

Winter is Not Over Yet

Regardless of what the calendar says, and in spite of The Fed's further actions this morning, winter is still very much in play today for ursine market players and pundits. As I write this, the Dow and S&P are off by more than 4%, with the latter perhaps zooming us lower towards another circuit breaker. The only saving grace for bulls is that...

Curse of the Rat: The Black Death

Starting with the fact that the Bubonic plague (or "Black Death," as it is commonly known) is a bacterial plague (thought to be, specifically, Yersinia pestis) while the Corona Virus is a viral infection, there are many differences, indeed, between the shocking destruction of life Europe saw in the mid-14th century versus what we are seeing...

Flu v Ferrari

As one of our Members astutely noted this morning, it is interesting to see the Maranello, Italy-based (near Bologna) and iconic Italian luxury sports car manufacturer, Ferrari, have its stock hold up as relatively well as it has in recent weeks. On the RACE monthly chart, below, the stock actually bounced off a simple support trend-line...

No Relationships, Folks: Casual Fun Only

As tempting as it may be to call the big, bad, bottom to the market's swoon and declare the global plague to have concluded, the reality is that just as we must stay levelheaded during historical downside volatility and surges we must also not become cheerleaders for each uptick when the market finally shows a modicum of stabilization. In other...
