Little Shop of Horrors Back on Broadway

Quick note into the bell here on a day where recent market choppiness has given way to some near-term sogginess, the second largest holding by market cap in ARKK is currently Shopify, seen on its steep weekly chart, below. I mention this due to the hot-blooded feud rising to the surface between Cathie Wood and Michael Burry. Naturally, TSLA...

Endless Summer Sessions

More seeming endlessly grinding summer trading sessions, like today's, will still almost inevitably give way to higher volumes and more directional moves after Labor Day, despite how much it does not feel like it. To be sure, the table seems set for various high stakes showdowns, be it ARKK and Cathie Wood versus Michael Burry and his shorts...

There Are No Shotgun Trades

The last month or so of trading conditions have been as frustrating and grinding as I can recall, with the financial news media banging the drums on a daily basis about the Dow and S&P making one new marginal all-time high after the next (and AAPL COST MSFT NKE, etc.) even as small caps and transports noticeably lagged. In addition, more than a...

Old Fashioned Capitulation

Noted short-seller Carson Block came out this week with an interesting take on his TSLA bias going forward. As you know, Tesla has been a hot-button stock/company/CEO for years on end, alternating between bear fantasies of going to the pink sheets versus periods of pure bull ecstasy where the stock functioned like a cute piggy bank dispensing...

See No Volatility; Hear No Volatility

Amid a sudden surge of Fed heads seemingly competing to declare an imminent taper is necessary as soon as next month, markets are taking it all in stride in another docile late-summer trading session. With two weeks to go until the Jackson Hole Symposium, the VIX's ETF, VXX, is printing multi-year lows this morning. True, the actual VIX is...

So Tall, They Might Just Be Short

This remains a slow summer market, and while I recognize that equities look and feel like they will remain docile to whichever fiscal and monetary policies come their way for the foreseeable future it is worth remembering that boring summer markets have a knack for lulling us all into that precise sort of thinking. As we noted yesterday,...
