Listen to the Right Noise

Last November 4th, 2021, with the Nasdaq's QQQ ETF near $400 and GDX at $32 (the ETF for senior gold miners) I wrote this piece noting that the most heinous-sounding pair trade in the world at the time may very well prove to be the smart one. Long GDX and short QQQ was the thinking, as many factors were slowly starting to align in favor of...

The Long View of a Frustrating Tape

Yesterday I locked in another foray into the short Treasuries space (betting on higher rates) via selling a long TBT play I had. My thinking being that despite my bearish view of Treasuries throughout this year and beyond, it was still imperative to dance through the inevitable raindrops and respect the ebb and flow which markets often struggle...

Not Quite End of the Line

The QQQ ETF is back down to the key $352 level, as indicated below on its daily chart with the arrow. Indeed, large cap tech has oscillated around this level as support, then resistance, before gapping above it on the Russia news yesterday.

Celebrating the Retreat

Despite a hot PPI inflation reading this morning sending rates on the 10-Year Note higher yet, equities seem far more focused on the apparent retreat and easing of tensions by Russian forces staving off imminent war with Ukraine for all the world to see. As we saw in late-January through the beginning of this month, bear market rallies (in...

Dog Days of Winter, But Not for Markets

With the Super Bowl behind us, we are roughly in the dead of winter where spring is too far off in the distance but the early-winter holiday season seems like a distant memory, too. In my younger days, I may have counted down the days to spring. But now, as corny as may sound, I see the value in taking each day at a time for what it is. As for...

Winter Games

Small caps, thanks in large part to small cap oils, are green here and trying to offset the notable tech weakness, as the QQQ is down more than 1% as write this. Still, it is tough to see the small caps prevailing given the heavyweights in QQQ like AAPL GOOGL TSLA, etc., which have held up well overall but may finally be ripe to succumb to...
