The Mother of All Bear Traps
In the wake of a four decade bear market for rates on the 10-Year Note (and bull market in prices, of course), it is only fitting that the final plunge in rates after The Fed's historical March 2020 intervention would prove to be the mother of all bear traps to usher in a new era of higher rates. On the updated monthly chart, spanning decades...

Na Zdorovie!
I have no special knowledge about whether or not Russia will launch a full attack on Ukraine anytime soon. However, I do think the Russian soldiers currently being mobilized will have many hours to burn while the Olympics roll on, at a minimum, and many cigarettes are likely to be smoked as the Russian Armed Forces are not quite as, ahem, PC...

Jinx!
Is this it? Could it really be? At the risk of jinxing the constructive price action in the precious metals and mining complex this morning it is worth at least pointing out the group seems galvanized as the U.S. Dollar as come in off recent highs. As we pointed out and are playing on the long side with Members, Newmont Corporation at almost a...

Super Bowl LVI Sports Betting Analysis
Last year around this time we discussed in a video here the reasons why the sharp bet was probably to take the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the spread. The opening line versus the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV was Tampa +3.5 (meaning they were "getting" 3.5 points as the underdog), and then the first move was down to +3. As I discuss...

Shoveling Out from the Selloff
For the time being, which could last as shortly as this afternoon or possibly into next week, Nasdaq bulls have been able to stem the tide of selling thanks to AMZN and the SNAP squeeze. In addition, small caps are stabilizing a bit too alongside software, ARKK, and bios. Interestingly, the market has been able to shrug off the strong jobs...

An Important Message Lurking in the Shadows
Between the FB earnings calamity, not to mention SPOT, plus a broad market gap lower on the back of hawkish comments out of the ECB it can be rather easy to overlook the move higher in rates this morning. After all, I am sure most equities-driven traders probably just assumed that Treasuries would receive a safe haven bid into the teeth of a...

Oil: Where's the Tip-Tip-Tippin' Point?
WTI crude oil currently has an $88/barrel handle as I write this, begging the age-old question of where the precise tipping point is where high oil prices began to have noticeable deleterious effects on the economy to the point were the market simply cannot ignore it. When we saw the oil spike back in Q2 2008, I remember being at an airport in...

Bounces Rolled Up and Smashed
By my work, every single component of the ARKK ETF is in the red as I write this. While that may seem as though I am picking on Ms. Wood, quite the contrary--As recently as yesterday, I was playing one of her beloved holdings on the long side for a quick bounce: DKNG. However, as we noted with Members, the DKNG play was a quick date only, not...
