Raiders of the Saved Ark

We continue to see improving trading conditions this week, as our working thesis (with we laid out yesterday morning) of an intermediate-term bottom seems to be holding true. In order to continue to see more improvements, tech clearly needs to firm up and absorb, eventually shaking off, the harsh selling the last few weeks. And whether she...

We Just Witnessed This Cycle's Bear Stearns Bottom

Back in March 2008, several months of the financials selling off fiercely led to an intermediate-term washout known as "Bear Stearns Bottom," as the famed banking house was embarrassingly bought by JPM for $2 per share, forcing the CEO to walk through his own firm's office building with armed security guards for protection. As many of you may...

Rope in a Few Bounce Plays

In last night's video both here and with Members we discussed the often-overlooked 150-day simple moving averages being tested on both ARKK and TSLA. Seeing as they are bouncing hard along with most things tech this morning as rates back off, we now have context going forward for mot bounce plays: Should ARKK and TSLA surrender their 150-day...

Tepper Monday Front Runs Turnaround Tuesday

With his well-earned gravitas in play, hedge fund manager David Tepper threw his market-weighted opinion around this morning again, reminiscent of the post-Labor Day 2010 rally after his famous "balls to the wall long" exhortation on CNBC. Given that equities had managers to find some footing, albeit in a violent way, on Friday, I had decided...

Rebuilding is Inevitable

A fairly pronounced downside reversal off a gap higher this morning, led by ARKK QQQ TSLA and the small and micro cap stocks in the IWM and IWC, respectively, has the look and feel of a market still in an ongoing correction with a rising risk of a washout below given how many longs seem to be cocksure a bottom is imminent. One of the...

So Winter's Over: That's the Story at Least

So that is it? A few days of the Nasdaq burning longs and suddenly today we are seeing a plethora of statistics and number crunchers implying a bottom is imminent. Call me old-fashioned (and I certainly feel that way in this market at times), but the QQQ has not even sniffed its 150-day simple moving average (red line on daily chart for the...
