Deicing the Boeing Chart
Although many politicians have helped to form the view that we are headed for a long, dark winter of economic restrictions amid spiking virus cases, the market has other thoughts about that. Airlines, especially DAL, are back at it again today, up around 4%, with cruise lines and casinos acting quite well, too. These are charts which I have...

Remember: We Want the Right Kind of Boring
Consider this a quick and friendly reminder into the bell today that as we head into what many expect to be a "long, dark, winter," you should carefully select your sectors. In other words, not all boring sectors are created equally, especially if we do get that rising rate environment various sectors seem to be implying based on recent price...

Helluva Long Sequel to Enron, Jimmy
Words cannot describe how tedious it must be for famed and well-regarded short-seller Jim Chanos (pictured, left) to keep holding TSLA short amid the stock's legendary moves this year. Back during the March crash, Chanos appeared on CNBC and figured to have finally been on the cusp of prevailing in a long, hard-fought battle. Since then, TSLA...

Insurance Stocks and Chill
As I am sure you can tell from my recent analysis and trades, I am convinced the winds of Wall Street are changing in favor of boring, deep value plays like the insurance stocks. On the KIE ETF, first daily chart, below, I wonder how many newfound traders this year will even know to track insurance stocks in this brave new world--I suspect it...

Still Ain't Got No Vaccine for Fossil Fuels
The Moderna vaccine news this morning may very well feel like a mere repeat of last Monday morning's Pfizer vaccine gap higher. However, the larger issue for me is the rotation underway. These vaccine headlines seem more like an excuse rather than grandiose catalyst for money to head into financials, insurers, energy, materials, ags, etc.. I...

You Have Your Shows; I Have Mine
One of the main objectives of Market Chess, both here and with Members, is assessing any given market as objectively as possible. If simply creating the appearance of always winning/getting a call right had been the goal, it really is not that hard to do so in today's fast-moving atmosphere of constant headlines and market moves: A gap up here,...

Just One More Thing...
The chasm between tech and most other parts of the market can be seen again this morning, as the Nasdaq flirted with red earlier but buyers defended the $290 level on the QQQ ETF. With the Dow, S&P, and small caps all still red albeit off their own morning lows, I am keeping a close eye on tech to see if the reflexive buying makes another run...

Face/Off Day
On this Veterans Day, the bond market is closed (along with banks, post offices, etc.), but we know stocks are open. As we noted for Members back around Labor Day, it would essentially be a "straight shot" with no breaks until Thanksgiving. With this in mind, TLT is still trading, since it is an actively-traded ETF of Treasuries. Thus, the...
