Feeding the Summertime Ducks
Led by some good news out of ALNY, the biotech sector is clearly out in front of today's market snapback rally off yesterday's poor close. On the XBI sector ETF daily chart, below, we can see the potential for a base breakout higher. Some names we have been tracking with Members which look good are: CRSP IONS SNDX. However, and this is...

Maybe They Should Take American Express...
If you are old enough, like I am, to remember those Visa commercial from decades ago where they would truly lean into how many businesses did not accept American Express, it may be just enough nostalgia to push back against the idea that the major credit card stocks, V and MA especially, could have already topped out on a multi-year basis. But...

You Come to Market Chess to Get Away from Petty Drama
We are clearly at a crossroads with this market. Early-August seasonality is actually a bit better than most expect. However, as the month rolls on the mood tends to shift to a more volatile one as autumn lingers. Thus, even with this morning's softness bulls may have a week or two to make their case (as quite a few seem to be making) that a...

Powell Can't Win Unless He Becomes the Villain
The aesthetics look great. At each and seemingly every FOMC press conference in recent memory, Fed Chair Jay Powell walks to the podium and delivers remarks followed by Q&A chock-full of Fed-speak--Toeing the line and striking the perfect balance between acknowledging the problems that the economy faces while also whispering enough...

What Would Mr. Miyagi Would Do in This Market?
He would probably take a vacation to Okinawa until after Labor Day. But above all else, unless you are cocksure (which some seem to be) that we are in a new bull market, the presumption of an ongoing bear market actually renders the current rally increasingly dangerous. Specifically, as the VIX dives lower and hedges get burned into the...

It's Easier Being Green Now
Although solar stocks jumped Thursday after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Joe Manchin said they’ve reached a deal (which earmarks a record $369 billion for climate and clean energy ) on climate spending, we ought not overlook other alternatives like wind. BEP is one such idea, with earnings on August 5th, below on the...

More Pain Needed Before A Fed Pivot
I must stay that it seems a bit odd to find myself in the position of sticking up for Jay Powell's intestinal fortitude, given his penchant over the years as Fed Chair for acquiescing to markets just when it looked like he was sticking to his guns of (relatively) hard monetary policy. However, the plethora of calls I continue to see for an...

The Eternal Bear Market Debate
Is it a base bottom after a large prior decline in price, or is it merely another consolidation in an ongoing bear market before the next brutal move lower ? One can, essentially, boil many charts down to that issue throughout the course of a bear market, as we are in with the major indices operating below declining 200-day simple moving...
