Quick Plays to Pass the Time

Despite gaps higher in Nasdaq leading issues like NFLX and TSLA, the major indices are uninspired so far this morning. As I write this, I see the averages all flipping mildly red, as broad-based buying has on indefinite hiatus. With Inauguration Day tomorrow, the market may very well be transitioning from a phase of pricing in the potential...

Is Under Armour About to Get Sonned By Nike?

It is an interesting topic, one which I am sure Under Armour's January 31st earnings will shed more light. But note UAA breaking below $30 today, a short idea we had for Members the last week or so, while Nike is off to a decent start in 2017. NKE may be emerging from a multi-quarter falling channel, while UAA still looks ripe to head on...

Good Protection for the Steelers

Coinciding with some comments by Wilbur Ross this morning (Ross is Donald Trump's Commerce Secretary nominee), steel plays are rallying off some obvious potential support levels. After circling back to their respective 50-day simple moving averages, the likes if AKS RS X are up sharply as I write this on the prospect of protectionism from...

Trump Uranium Plays: Bring it in for the Real Thing

Much like with steels, but in a more ferocious manner, the uranium plays which rallied, in part, on the prospect of a Trump presidency are unwinding today in front of Inauguration Day on Friday. We knew at some point there would be a sharp shakeout, given how inherently volatile all things commodity-related are. And when you factor in how many...

Trump Tweets: Everybody Takes a Beating Sometime

The reality of a President Trump in this day and age means that stocks and sectors will, undoubtedly, be sensitive to his tweets. We have already seen this sensitivity on full display even before he officially takes office on Friday. With this in mind, the pricing power of some biotech and healthcare firms is likely in focus as the healthcare...

Doing God's Work By Building a Tower of Babel

The tale of the Tower of Babel is said to explain the origin of different languages in the world. As the story goes, a group of survivors of the Great Flood in the Book of Genesis are united in language and ambition to build a tower tall enough to reach heaven. God takes umbrage to this act and subsequently creates multiple language barriers to...

Not Quite Ready to Leave Port

We have a fairly busy shortened week of trading underway, with plenty of earnings and macro events. A big bank like Morgan Stanley reversed down pretty hard after earnings, off by nearly 3% as I write this. Netflix earnings tomorrow, as well as GS in the morning, are sure to capture plenty of attention, too. But the U.S. Dollar price action...
