I view the $323 area just above as being a bit significant and am looking to see if the...

Way Too Serene to Be a Tradable Rally
If you agree with my view that we are in the early stages of a new bear market, then the first major leg down of said bear market tends to not bottom unless and until we reach an interim selling climax wherein market players finally, begrudgingly, exhort, "Fine, I'll admit it!

Two years ago, college basketball's March Madness event was one of the first major sporting--Indeed, American--events cancelled due to the pandemic outbreak.

You then need to be discerning, self-aware that some players may give off false flags to try to trick you into thinking certain things about their playing style and given cards on a given hand. A classic example would be if I...

Splitting Winners
Shares of AMZN are on the move higher this morning, up 5%, after the mega cap tech leader announced a 20-for-1 stock split coupled with a $10 billion buyback. For new CEO Andy Jassy, this is sure to please some of the smaller retail players who wanted in on AMZN but did not want to touch a firm with a share price around $3000. Thus, despite a...

As quantitative easing officially ends today, The...

Don't Want to Land on No Three Mile Island
I don't know where I'm-a-gonna go when this volcano of a market blows. Or maybe I do. But for today, we are fittingly limping into the closing bell to cap off one of the most violently indecisive trading sessions we have seen in a good while, especially in light of the technical spot we are in and the headlines hitting.

Don't Forget About the Boogeyman in the Dark
With the looming U.S. ban on Russian oil being announced by President Biden within the hour, coupled with the ongoing messy price action in most stocks, it is rather easy to overlook the bond market here. After all, rates have relaxed a bit the last few weeks as TLT (Treasury prices) rose. However, the threat of a major regime change (i.e....
