A Case of the Mondays Before Big Thursday

An outlier red Monday morning open is shaking things up a bit for what has mostly been a one-way market for a while now, despite some quiet consolidations below the surface. As I write this, the senior indices are off by about 1% with the notable exception of tech outperforming--Perhaps it is a replay of February/March, where names like AMZN ZM...

This Market Reminds Me of a Story

Many, many, years ago, and in a pre-9/11 lifetime, I found myself on the American Airlines Shuttle from New York to Washington D.C.. Due to the very short amount of time the shuttle flight is actually in the air, we were flying at a low altitude on a windy, rainy day. The pilot looked young, and the plane got bumped around more than any other...

No Dice

Although my suspicions of a shocking trend day lower in favor of bears looked promising early on in the session, the multitude of breaking news headlines about the imminent of all imminent stimulus deals seems to still have a notable effect on whipsawing the market back higher at the most (in)opportune of times. Recent IPOs like SNOW and PLTR...

That's Where the Wheat Is

“Why not go out on a limb? That’s where the fruit is.” -Frank Scully More swirling headlines regarding a possible stimulus deal seem to be enough to keep stocks afloat at the moment, despite how ridiculous the whole charade seems at this point--If one were to tally, for example, how many "updated" we received from Nancy Pelosi as well as any...

Offsetting Stocks

The NFLX earnings selloff, combined with some weakness in JKS and even ZM this week, seems to be more than offset this morning by extreme strength in SNAP after its own earnings. Up a whopping 30% as I write this, the market clearly thinks it has been severely misplacing SNAP in some way, shape or form. And that strength is spilling over into...

Nostalgia is Not Such a Bad Thing

Headed into Netflix earnings tonight, stocks are enjoying a modest relief bounce after yesterday's sharp downside reversal. We will likely be hearing an update from the Pelosi/Mnuchin tag team regarding stimulus deal talks later this afternoon which, of course, is arguably the main focus of the market in the near-term beyond even earnings and...

A Literal Interpretation

Alternate Title: "If Zoom Goes, We All Go" A fairly obvious, bullish cup-and-handle setup on the IGV, software sector ETF, daily chart (highlighted in light blue, below), is on the minds of many bulls right now looking for any positive Stimulus Deal headlines to propel us higher yet for another round of TikTok tutorials on how to make a score...
