Late Night Strategy for Tuesday
Futures are soft overnight, though we know this bull market has a long history of flipping them green before the bell. Still, it is tough to ignore the technical damage sustained in many premier issues in the Nasdaq Composite Index of late. I am thus sticking to the inter-market, opportunistic and nimble approach, in lieu of heavy directional...

Going Long the Miners; Chess Moves
In addition to going long the yellow metal itself, which I discussed in my last blog post here , I am now long the gold miners. I placed 4% of my trading portfolio capital into a long NUGT position. NUGT is the triple-long senior gold miner ETF. Gold miners reversed higher this afternoon, following gold itself higher. And I am playing for...

Kiss That Frog; Chess Moves
I just placed 4% of my trading portfolio capital into long DGP position, which is the ultra-long gold ETF. The yellow precious metal is still routinely mocked, as are gold bugs. But recent lows appear to be holding, and gold is outperforming the entire precious metals and miners complex. I entered the trade at $24.13 with a stop-loss below $22...

Signs of Sweet Blood
For the time in several years, Tesla Motors is breaking and, apparently holding, below its 50-period weekly moving average, seen below. Tesla Motors is clearly a marquee, liquid leader in the tape. And this follow-through lower continues to be a concern, despite the strength in biotechs and financials. On a standalone basis, the breakdown in...

Eating Habits Are a-Changin
After a powerful decade-long rally off the 2003 lows, McDonalds is still showing signs of succumbing to changing consumers' desires as well as a letdown from new management. On the monthly chart, below, I would view another move under $92 as likely setting in motion a breakdown from an extended topping process. Also note how similar MCD looks...

Biotech Tidal Waves on the Stormy Sea
The wildcard for a the broad market to levitate into year-end continues to be if we see biotechnology sector stage a melt-up higher. This morning, we are seeing just that, with the IBB sector ETF up nearly 2% even as other damage is seen in the market. There is no telling how long a "blow-off" can last, so it is usually best to nimbly play...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
Both The Fugitive (1993) and In the Line of Fire (1993) were released in the summer of 1993 as Hollywood summer blockbusters. While the former garnered plenty of critical acclaim and fans, I view the latter as the better film. Clint Eastwood stars as the gruff, old-timer Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan. Horrigan worked for JFK and is...
