Balancing Out the Move in Gold
Back on September 15th we noted a potential scenario for gold and her miners in this blog post . The setup was not unlike equities in the summer 2009--A significant rally for months on end coming off a major bear market bottom, followed by a fairly obvious daily chart head and shoulders top. The quick washout, followed by a pivot to commence...

The Allure of the Rails' Yesteryear
After noting their consistently bearish price action for quarters on end, the majority of the railroad stocks have been in steady-as-she-goes uptrends since the winter months. The Norfolk Southern daily chart, below, illustrates as much, with even today's soft tape not inflicting any selling on the name. Other large rails like CP CSX UNP have...

A Glance Into the Abyss
Despite The Fed standing pat at its most recent meeting and not raising rates, some of the reactions by the "rate-sensitive" sectors hint at tightening cycle still underway.

And if the second season comes anywhere close to the quality of the first season's six episodes, it will be a huge success.

An Oktoberfest Truce for Deutsche Bank?
As we noted earlier, the heightened non-financial media exposure to DB over the last twenty-four hours or so reached a crescendo to the point where an imminent swoon became less likely. After all, if everyone is thinking the same, then no one is thinking. That is not to say DB has permanently bottomed, but as we finish the day, week, month,...

Operation Market Garden-Variety Pullback
A morning upside reversal in German bank Deutsche Bank is adding fuel to the broad market's upside rally as we speak.
