Lining Up a Focused Shot
Silver and natural gas have my eye this morning, with silver bouncing back impressively from Friday's post-jobs number drubbing of the precious metals and miners. And natty is still trying to find at least a tradable bounce of its own after crude did as much in recent weeks. One of the hallmarks for the precious metals and miners in 2015 has...

A Morning Quick Hitter Worth Watching
ACHN is a big mover this morning, the top trending ticker on Stocktwits as I write this. While the daily chart is a bit sloppy for my taste to swing overnight, day-traders may find it useful o watch the $12.80 level, just above, today to see if the stock can make a run at $13.08. At that point, you can see the upper light blue line on the...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas
Italian for Beginners (2000) is a fun, largely light-hearted and underwatched subtitled comedy out of Denmark worth checking out. On a slow winter Sunday, it is definitely suggested as a good viewing. via imdb.com : Several lonely hearts in a semi-provincial suburb of a town in Denmark use a beginner’s course in Italian as the platform...

Back Down to BISuness Into the Weekend; Chess Moves
I went long $BIS at $41.79 into the weekend with a stop below $40. This is a 4% portfolio position. With the biotechs in the IBB ETF still teasing a major rising wedge breakdown, I am going to take another shot at shorting them into next week. I recognize they have been infallible, in many respects. But the setup is still there and I am still...

Just Add to It; Chess Moves
I added to my NKE short at $92.06, bringing the position up to 6% of my trading portfolio capital. My original entry and thesis for the NKE short can be found in this blog post . I entered at $92.93 with a stop over $97. I am going to keep that stop in place. NKE is still threatening a breakdown from well-defined support. Bulls had numerous...

Sending Out an SRS; Chess Moves
With the intention of swinging it into next week, I went long SRS, the ultra-short REIT ETF (basically the double-short version of IYR), at $11.56 with a protective stop-loss below $11. This position is roughly 4% of my capital. REITs, utilities, and even some consumer staples are seeing notably weakness as yields rise this week, Note how they...

The Quick and the Dead; Chess Moves
I sold off a few pieces of my UWTI long since my last post , first at $3.87 and now at $3.89, from my earlier $3.69 entry. I moved my protective stop-loss to my entry price, and now have a 1/2 position in the triple-long crude ETF. This is quick day-trading, given the volatility in crude, still mired in a steep downtrend, and given the...

Going for a Scalp with the Oil Cowboys; Chess Moves
In what may turn out to be merely a day-trade, I went long UWTI (triple-log crude oil ETF) at $3.69 with a protective stop-loss below $3.55. My theory is still that crude is a trading vehicle until further notice, in lieu of calling a big bottom or playing for another crash. As such, quick trades can be found here and there. On the 30-minute...
