Tie Goes to the Money Runner

A virtual tie amongst those firms reporting earnings last evening and this morning, namely BYND DIS LVGO SQ TDOC TWLO, is a glaring theme so far today, with DIS SQ boosting the bull case while BYND LVGO TDOC TWLO are selling off a good deal. The caveat, of course, is that the likes of LVGO TDOC TWLO all screamed into earnings and, thus, are...

A Slow But Not Deserted Station

Crude oil, understandably, gets virtually all of the attention in the energy sector most of the time. Since cascading and catching tons of hoopla back in April, the "black gold" has since staged a spirited relief rally only to subsequently flatline, essentially, since early-June. Two months later, we have crude showing some life today after...

Summer Complacency Not in Its Nascency

Both a green VIX and U.S. Dollar this morning seem to be lurking behind the curtain as we kick off what is traditionally a rough stretch of the trading year, from now until around late-October. Some heavyweight tech leaders like AAPL MSFT TSLA ZM, however, are back at it again and masking the more pedestrian action in the small caps and other...

Lonely at the Top

We have a bit of a tug-of-war in the market today, as dominant earnings winners like AAPL AMZN FB (though GOOG is soft) seek to offset small cap weakness (IWM is down 2% as I write this even with the indices off their morning lows), as well as assorted other fades. Headed into what is often a choppy, if not outright volatile and bearish, time...

You'll Like This Throwback

Although it seems like markets are changing in ways which render traditional analytical and observational methods obsolete, in reality we are seeing variations of, for example, post-1929 crash Wall Street and even monetary and fiscal responses. Back then, we saw an explosive rally for several quarters after the Crash of '29 to dovetail with...

The Bull Case for Chotchkie's

As several of our Members astutely noted of late, some viable rotation sectors and stocks are emerging in the event the plethora of prominent earnings reports in large cap tech later this week (e.g. AAPL AMZN FB GOOGL all on Thursday evening) do not result in business-as-usual continuation gaps higher or now-you-see-it-now-you-don't ephemeral...
