Can Shorts Continue to DOGE This Bullet?

You will beg my pardon for including a Dogecoin reference in the title of this blog post. But, then again, that is the finance world we live in at the moment. Still, it is hard not to thin that market players and peculators at-large have become so infatuated with the flavor of the day in crypto that they are losing sight of several important...

Napoleon Complex No More

It is quite easy these days on Wall Street to fall victim to sensory overload, be it the crypto craze and COIN IPO, pandemic fallout and debate over which industries come back and when, The Fed, rates, our political system at-large, among many other issues.

Sectors with No Sex Appeal Should Rope in the Bear

Headed into the closing bell we are seeing some well-defined selling of the COIN IPO event, be it crypto proxy stocks like MARA MSTR RIOT down sharply, and even premier tech names like AAPL AMZN SQ TSLA, among a whole host of others. After an extended melt-up in the QQQ ETF as the seasonally bullish window starts to close a bit (but perhaps...

Never Show Your Fangs Unless You Intend to Use Them

[Michelle Pfeiffer in the film, Wolf (1994)] Amid the Coinbase IPO today, we are seeing some initial sell-the-news reactions in the likes of MARA and RIOT. However, the day is still young, and I would not be in there shorting those high beta monsters with so much of the session to go. But the larger issue for me today is the overlooked...

V-A-X-X: Vaxx, Vaxx, Vaxx!

As @MylesUdland implied on Twitter this morning amid news of JNJ's vaccine being paused in American due to blood clot issues, perhaps this should have been expected. Then again, with all of the vaccines being rushed in just one year, when most vaccines can take up to a decade, we ought not be surprised at all to see setbacks. From a market...

We've Got a Case of the Mondays

Despite trimming part of my long exposure late-last week, I am not thrilled with this morning's price action thus far. An aggressive sell program off the open in small caps and tech stocks, especially, compounded by further weakness in materials is throwing cold water on a bunch of setups we had been eyeing. To be sure, all is not lost from the...
