Formulate a Battle Plan for This Sector
Bulls still have more work to do to prove that equities have, by and large, concluded their recent pullback. 2120 on the S&P 500 Index is now a fairly obvious level of support which held, once again, this morning off an initial fade. As I write this, I see we are gaining steam to the upside but having some initial issues at 2140. Crude oil is...

It's Been a Lonely, Dark Road
There is no question since the ephemeral Brexit spike in the VIX that volatility took a prolonged summer vacation, with the VIX derivative ETFs seemingly on a daily mission to eviscerate volatility longs. Indeed, it has been a lonely, dark road for volatility bulls since July. However, since last Friday's abrupt selloff in the market the VIX...

Singing the Same Tune
With Treasuries taking it on the chin yet again today, the link between some of the sectors famous for paying out hefty dividends and TLT is on full display. Specifically, note the uncanny resemblance between the TLT and XLP daily charts, below. XLP is the ETF for the highly defensive consumer staples, such as KMB KO. The two daily charts are...

Slim Pickings, So Head to the Casino Buffet
While it is true that quite a few names are holding up reasonably well into this market pullback, given the sudden reappearance of overnight risk and volatility it is tough to argue that merely "holding up well" equates to an urgent need to go long imminently. Instead, we are simply monitoring several relative strength names for Members, which...

A Big Catch Still May Mean Big Risk
The interesting aspect about today's abrupt and sizable rally to counter Friday's sharp sell-off is the likely finished product on the S&P 500 Index daily. I will follow-up on this point in detail for Members in the full video tonight. However, there is little doubt that we are no longer seeing the quiet, boring sessions on the indices which...

Miners: For Sale But Keep Out
Precious metals and miners are coming off a disappointing Friday session where they could have easily benefited from a safe-haven bid as equities were rocked with the heaviest selling in months. Instead, miners themselves took it on the chin and are merely searching for stabilization as the moment. GDX, the ETF for senior miners, is flirting...

A Better Picture for Fall
Unlike the TWTR breakout and retest of $18 level/200-day moving average areas, which has thus far been dragging its heels, natural gas is displaying a better picture of strength headed into autumn. I suppose both natty and Twitter are similar in their long suffering endured by bulls the last few years. But on the UNG ETF daily chart, below,...
