Nothing Like an Equities' Selloff to Send Gold Bugs Into a Frenzy
With GDX (senior gold miner ETF) breaking back over the key $23 level today as equities are selling off considerably, we now want to see if miners can clear their 50-day moving average (dark blue line, below on the daily chart) convincingly in order to set in motion a more sustainable rally. Also note that Silver Wheaton (SLW), a larger silver...

UVXY: You Ain't Got No Alibi
Bears finally achieved some type of breakthrough today, with some of the heaviest selling equites have experienced in a good while taking hold after this morning's opening gap higher. The weakness in banks, namely BAC GS, remains apparent as I write this. Even though the weakness is being written off for political reasons, the reality is that...

New Dangers Below the Surface
The weakness in financials is at the forefront of the market weakness this morning, as their underperformance since last weeks FOMC is becoming a bit more pronounced while equities as a whole staged a "gap-and-fade" this morning. On the one hand, we do not want to become overly-sensitive to intraday market moves. However, the constant fading...

Gotta Keep Hustling Like Raymond
With spring officially arriving this week, the market is off to a slow start with another day of consolidation or churning. Buyers stepped in over the last hour or so after an afternoon thrust down by sellers. But, overall, we have a slow tape on our hands. Still, it is important to keep putting in the work and hustling to identify those...

Bears Need to Decide if the Bank is Worth the Risk
For the second session in a row, banks are lagging the tape as they continue their post-Fed rate hike "sell the news" reaction. The Wells Fargo daily chart, below, illustrates as much, with WFC losing some intermediate-term trend support today (or at least intraday). It would certainly behoove bears to make a push in the broad market lower in...

Man the Fortinet in This Battle
In lieu of the gap up in downtrodden cybersecurity play, FireEye, this morning, some of the better technical plays in the HACK ETF are worthy of a look. Specifically, we should consider manning the Fortinet, as we can see the daily chart, below, sporting improved technicals in 2017. After an early-February gap higher, note how tightly the...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
Not only is Bowfinger (1999) a vastly underrated comedy, the film was also prophetic in terms of the coming reality television boom and the whole genre of reality TV and general fake reality depicted on the big screen, too, after the turn of the century. Then again, we should expect as much from Steve Martin, who wrote the script and stars...

Bulls Can Die Another Day in This Industry
As we discussed with Members in a video earlier today, as volatile as biotech has been (see the AMGN ESPR sharp selling) it may be a bit more prudent to focus on some of the better performers in the healthcare arena, not tethered to drugs and clinical trials, per se. The diagnostics/research segment in healthcare has quietly been a strong...
