This Bull Market is an Idea, Not an Organization
The current market has become so bullish that the mere idea of an upcoming event, be it an AMZN Prime Day, AAPL Day, a potential Stimulus Deal still in limbo, an Election, etc. are all viewed through the lens as advancing the bull thesis for higher prices. When it comes to high-flying tech, at least, this tape is kind of like the mirror...

Buy the Rumor, Buy the News; Buy All the Pies There's No Surprise
A particularly optimistic rally this week (although some would argue it is merely "chasing" longs higher) is all the more impressive when we consider the expected-but-still-in-limbo passage of an imminent Stimulus Deal and/or lower odds of a contested election in a few weeks, not to mention a looming new earnings season next week amid a second...

One for the Crypto Bros
While I remain more bullish on gold, silver, and the precious miners, not to mention non-precious base miners and now deep value oil stocks over the long run if we are indeed headed into a new inflationary regime, it is hard not to notice Bitcoin's and the several crypto-related stocks moving sharply higher today. I would be remiss not to...

Avoid Political Sheep-Think
Let us suppose, for argument's sake, that the current polls are mostly accurate the time around and that we are, in fact, looking at a "Blue Wave" on Election night, with Democrats taking the White House by a sound margin as well as most of the Congressional seats up for grabs. If that materializes, from a stock market point of view the most...

Is That Jinko or Jenga?
It takes some serious onions to consider shorting individual solar stocks here in size, what with their relentless upside momentum likely in anticipation of a "Blue Wave" come Election night which eventually leads to a version of a Green New Deal. We can debate politics from now until kingdom come, but that is what the solar space seems to be...

Backroom Deal Mystique
The current market cycle we have been in since the late-March lows continues to be as forgiving to bulls and blind dip-buyers as virtually any stretch I can recall in modern Wall Street history. Not only are we seeing equities broadly snap back off President Trump's selloff-spawning tweet yesterday about a Stimulus Deal being on the shelf until...

Survival is the Goal
Quick final hour update here in a hectic market session to note that earlier today, around 11am EST inside Market Chess Subscription Services, I sold my double-bear Treasuries bet, TBT long, as the TLT ETF was testing its 200-day moving average--You can see as much on the TLT daily chart, updated below.

It's Harvesting This Autumn
We have some glaring rotation attempts taking place today, with the small caps in the IWM ETF for the Russell 2000 Index clearly leading higher for bulls. However, many other parts of the market are acting lethargically, at best, if not outright churning before a drop. These competing forces may very well persist as the market awaits word on...
