The End of the Day
Here we are, again. Another major FOMC which does indeed have serious implications for most asset classes over various timeframes. While it certainly has a chic, "too cool for school" vibe to dismiss these Fed meetings as being overhyped, the realty is that since at least the 2008 global financial crisis they are indeed highly significant and...

Deep Value in the Far East
With a staggering PE ratio of 2, South Korean steel maker POSCO, below on the quarterly chart, is back down to important price levels dating back to late-last century. Perhaps of most significance in the here and now, the legitimate prospect of a China re-opening (it has to come at some point fairly soon, one would think) is also spurring base...

Deciding Who Lives and Dies
While nothing is immune in a bear market, especially if and when we see the next leg down, it is worth noting which stocks in given sectors the market hints at as being winners versus losers for the eventual turn into a new bull regime. In the case of solar, tons of debate surrounds ESG. However, there is little argument now that ENPH and...

Bear Trap Alerts
As the phrase implies, a "bear trap" in trading is a situation where markets seemingly tempt bears to put on aggressive short positions at precisely the wrong time. A down move which looks like a clear-cut breakdown suddenly reverses on a dime and, effectively, traps in shorts who had been pressing for a fresh move lower. And just this...

Heavy Lifting: But is it Natty?
Both Apple and Intel are surging higher after earnings this morning which is, clearly, more than offsetting weakness in shares of AMZN. Beyond that, AAPL and INTC are housed in both the Dow as well as the QQQ ETF, leading a double-whammy of the indices painting much higher. Of course, those two heavyweights are doing a ton of heavy lifting....

Don't Trespass on the Wrong Holler in Coal Country
Despite missing earnings estimates, coal play Arch Resources is spiking higher this morning as the firm declared a quarterly cash dividend of $206.4 million, or $10.75 per share. ARCH, below on the updated monthly chart bull-flagging impressively, is the first of a flurry of coal stocks set to report earnings in the next week or two, namely...

This Market Reminds Me of Warm Autumn Days
During most autumns there comes a moment, right around now usually, where we see unseasonably warm temperatures for a week or two in a row. In that instance it is human nature to extrapolate and think, "Maybe it won't get too cold this winter; Heck, maybe even winter entirely misses us this year!" Of course, the moment always passes. And, soon...

Know Which Way the Wind Blows
With the Dollar and rates both sinking this morning, equity bulls have an opening to rally as year-end seasonality turns more bullish in a pronounced manner. True, the FOMC, followed by the midterms, not to mention tonight's GOOGL MSFT V earnings (just to get the ball rolling before AAPL AMZN META later this week) and a side dish of Russia and...
