An Epic Triple-header Tonight
Stocks are bouncing as I write this, with bulls taking advantage of a relative lull during a busy week. That said, tonight begins the final spurt of events into Friday morning's jobs report, pre-market. But first, the big three report tonight: Apple, Amazon, and Meta. All three are obviously part of the "Magnificent 7" leadership which has...

It's Now the Offseason for Mister Softee
Despite how pronounced the Alphabet (GOOGL) weakness is today, as we zoom towards the big FOMC at 2pm EST, I actually find the Microsoft (MSFT, below on the daily chart) reversal to be of even more significance. First and foremost, headed into earnings last evening MSFT was the largest publicly-traded firm at over $3 trillion in market cap,...

Time for Chips to Finally Sober Up
Seeing as AMD earnings come out tonight alongside GOOGL and MSFT, it seems fairly easy to overlook the chip play on the eve of the FOMC. However, AMD, trading with a cool forward PE of 44, is no small potato in the semiconductor space. The firm has indeed been one of the key supporting actors beyond NVDA instrumental in the sector's most epic...

Emerging Markets: The Ultimate Mirage?
Over the weekend I saw some data that flows into emerging markets reached the highest level in quite some time, as investors likely see bargains relative to America in the likes of China. However, that has been a sexy thesis for a while now, one which never seemed to pan out as China stocks grew weaker and weaker, defying even the late, great...

All of a Sudden, Intel Matters Again
We are seeing the first real chink in the armor for the red-hot semiconductors today, as Intel and KLAC lead the selloff lower. Next week will see a ton of monster leaders reporting earnings, headlined by AAPL the same day as the FOMC on Wednesday. So, you can be sure tons of event risk is ahead of us. Of course, given this market's recent...

Tesla's Last Seduction
Shares of Tesla are down more than 12% as I write this. It truly is a sign of the times of what type of market beast we are dealing with when no one is surprised at all that the indices are green, even if off the morning highs. It was not too long ago when a move like this in TSLA would have clear broad ramifications, if only for a few days....

They Don't Ring Bells
"No one rings a bell to announce the top or the bottom of a market." -Old Wall Street Axiom Despite large cap chip maker Texas Instruments down after earnings, perhaps no better sign of the continued euphoria in the winning tech plays is seeing the SMH sector ETF up another 2.6% as I write this, completely blowing off the TXN...

Robotic Stock for a Robotic Market
Given that Netflix reports tonight, then Tesla tomorrow evening, it is easy to overlook Intuitive Surgical (below, on the quarterly chart sporting a freight train uptrend since 2009, despite the 2020 hiccup) reporting tonight, as well. ISRG trades at a forward PE of nearly fifty-eight as I write this, remarkably expensive and aligned with how...

A Hot Oil Coil
Given that crude oil topped out last late-September, suffered a sharp correction, then has gone nowhere for two months running, I have been fairly quiet on the commodity and various oil stocks, for the most part. As we noted with Members, other segments have commodities have been more active, even if they offer the usual head-fakes and traps. ...
