Complacency is High; Discipline is Low

A relief rally in China (FXI ETF) and the various beaten-down issues traded here, be it BABA BIDU JD NTES, even TAL, seems sufficient to hold some hot money traders over into the Fed Meeting later today followed by Facebook earnings tonight. As for last evening's loaded lineup of earnings, it appears the volatility sellers won more than anyone...

Mixed Martial Markets

Is China intentionally trying to crash world markets, especially ours? While I have no special information regarding that topic, the ongoing liquidations we are seeing in Asia, especially the FXI ETF (for China) and names like BABA are more than concerning.

If I Did It...

Tesla kicks off a loaded week of earnings tonight. And, while I do not have a strong opinion for all of the market leaders this week in the near-term, over the coming quarters I still believe the high PE names will face multiple compression even as their reports likely continue to come in strongly. Simply put, we are very likely close to a...

Bitcoin and Gold: It's Not a Zero-Sum Game

The initially failed breakdown in Bitcoin below $30,000 has led to a multi-day squeeze back above it. As is often pertinent in market, from failed moves in one direction come aggressive moves in the other. And when it comes to crypto, we can expect such a volatile young asset class to respond with the requisite beta. However, even as crypto...

Well I Guess There's Only One Thing Left to Do

Another "stick save" off the latest selloff on Monday has bulls increasingly galvanized that equities are not going lower anytime soon. Indeed, the mega cap tech monsters like FB GOOGL, coupled with AAPL MSFT resilience as trillion dollar market cap enterprises, with the SNAP TWTR earning rallies as the cherries on top are clearly at the heart...

No More Summer Blues

For the first time since early-June I am back to being long the gold complex for a trade. Given the U.S. Dollar's weakness today as many commodities rally, coupled with the GDX (ETF for gold miners, seen on daily chart, below) sporting a bullish RSI (bottom pane) divergence to price on the latest push down, the setup is there for the precious...
