Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

If want to talk about a prophetic film then consider about one which stars a mathematical genius who believes he can boil the stock market down to a basic code found in ancient holy scriptures. The HFT's and robots on Wall Street, no doubt, would be proud of this one. I was lucky enough to catch Pi (1998) on the big screen back when it was...

And Then We Woke Up to a William Devane Commercial...

Multi-quarter highs for the gold ETF this morning, as we may be seeing some front-running of concerns to come in the autumn months. Either way, gold bullion and her miners have been a beneficiary of the selling in equities of late. And we may have a new batch of shorts in the miners to propel them higher, as the GDX being red yesterday seemed...

Late-Summer Bear Fun

After a sloppy open with an initial dip-buy attempt, equities are diving lower led by the small caps. For a while now, we have been tracking the IWM, ETF for the small cap-dominated Russell 2000 Index, not arbitrarily or to cherry-pick, but rather due to the glaring divergence they presented vis-à-vis the senior indices. That divergence...

Come and Get Me, Copper

To piggyback my earlier blog post, within the materials complex we of course have the copper plays acting much better today. Freeport (FCX) is a widely-known name, but as one of our Members noted we also must keep tabs on the likes of SCCO and even HBM, two under-the-radar copper plays sporting sound technical patterns on daily timeframes and...

Enough of the Mushy Stuff

The indices continue to enjoy early-morning bounces this week, as futures traders seem content to buy 'em up overnight. Despite the third consecutive session with a moderately big bounce off the open, small caps in the IWM ETF for the Russell 2000 Index are far from convincing as a bull victory, as they linger just under $138 at the moment....
