You Don't Have to Be Monk to Crack This Case

The consecutive gaps higher this week have been faded, broadly speaking, in most parts of tech. Even going back to late-last week, we saw a Nasdaq which did not want to hold onto strength as each session unfolded, namely Friday into the bell. When we look to the charts to put this into context (which is what technicals are often best used for,...

Gold Miners: At Least We Know Where the Goalposts Are

Headed into the closing bell of a mixed Monday session, the Nasdaq still seems at risk of seeing some selling accelerate lower. On the other side of the tape we have strength in energy and some miners, especially the precious ones today. After an extremely dodgy middle and back-end to the summer, it is understandable to be skeptical of gold,...

Be Royal in Your Fashion...And Energy Stocks

With Europe's energy crunch gaining more attention by the day, it is only fitting that Royal Dutch Shell (Shell), a Dutch multinational oil and gas company headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands, and incorporated in the United Kingdom (more on that in a bit and why it is important), should attempt to break its tight daily chart base (below)...

Building the Case for Value

It is not just those boring, dividend-paying, defensive names which offer value here according to historically low multiples and lack of investor enthusiasm. Indeed, the same can be said for many materials miners housed in the XME ETF--Both non and precious alike This includes the likes of FCX, steels, aluminum plays, coals, etc.. While...

Next Train to Somewhere

The sheer amount of indecision in the market action of late is likely a reflection of internal competing forces. On the one hand, the market is aware of supply chain disruptions in the economy, but has not had a full-blown reckoning of it and has come nowhere close to acknowledging how lasting it may be. The market is aware of the intense...

Out in Front of It

President Biden is set to address the nation at 5pm EST tonight regarding the Delta variant. CNBC just reported that he will mandate federal workers get vaccinated, with no option for testing anymore. Basically, get the vaccine or get lost. Needless to say, you do not need me to offer up an opinion on politics. In this day and age, especially,...

A Simple Test Before a Night on the Town

Considering how late we are in this earnings season, tonight is a fairly stacked lineup of interesting names, be it GME LULU RH, even HQY. And while I doubt any one of those tickers moves the market, the reaction to GME, perhaps, could be indicative of whether underlying risk appetite for this rocky tape still remains strong or, instead, is...
