The O'Chess Factor
You do not need me to discuss politics. And it is something I have little interest in doing, quite frankly. That said, one cannot ignore reality--We have the midterm elections today. And with a Biden White House alongside quite a few highly powerful, visible Democrat players in Congress (Pelosi, Schumer, just to name a few), the issue is...

It's Not Some Big "Whodunnit"
Rates are higher again, CVNA is completely imploding on the back Friday's pummeling, and shares of TSLA are sliding by more than 4%. All of this as we head towards the midterm elections tomorrow and the CPI print on Thursday. And, yet, the market is green as various commodity stocks are attempting attractive breakouts. So, what gives? For...

A Salty Dollar
If we were block out all of the Powell talk, theories, guesstimates, and whatnot, simply put the U.S. Dollar's resurgence since around 2:40pm EST yesterday (seen below on the UUP ETF daily chart) can explain most of the weakness in equities. Sure, FTNT and ROKU are getting hammered after earnings. But, then again, COP is a stud in energy, as...

The End of the Day
Here we are, again. Another major FOMC which does indeed have serious implications for most asset classes over various timeframes. While it certainly has a chic, "too cool for school" vibe to dismiss these Fed meetings as being overhyped, the realty is that since at least the 2008 global financial crisis they are indeed highly significant and...

Deep Value in the Far East
With a staggering PE ratio of 2, South Korean steel maker POSCO, below on the quarterly chart, is back down to important price levels dating back to late-last century. Perhaps of most significance in the here and now, the legitimate prospect of a China re-opening (it has to come at some point fairly soon, one would think) is also spurring base...

Deciding Who Lives and Dies
While nothing is immune in a bear market, especially if and when we see the next leg down, it is worth noting which stocks in given sectors the market hints at as being winners versus losers for the eventual turn into a new bull regime. In the case of solar, tons of debate surrounds ESG. However, there is little argument now that ENPH and...

Bear Trap Alerts
As the phrase implies, a "bear trap" in trading is a situation where markets seemingly tempt bears to put on aggressive short positions at precisely the wrong time. A down move which looks like a clear-cut breakdown suddenly reverses on a dime and, effectively, traps in shorts who had been pressing for a fresh move lower. And just this...
