Twitter Down, Stock Up, Because the Medium is the Message

You may have seen the film, The Social Network (2010), which tells the true life story of Mark Zuckerberg's rise to fame and fortune as Facebook came to be. In the film, there is a memorable scene where Zuck explains why the site simply can never stop functioning and why Facebook must never go down. Mark Zuckerberg: Do you realize that...

Range Expansion

“When you get a range expansion, the market is sending you a very loud, clear signal that the market is getting ready to move in the direction of that expansion.” – Paul Tudor Jones While the large cap names in the QQQ ETF push higher to the upper-end of a well-defined $271-$280, likely on hopes of a more realistic second stimulus package...

Somewhere in Limbo

Large cap tech leadership marginally reclaimed its previously-broken $271-$280 range late-last week. And QQQ (updated below on its hourly chart) followed-through back up to around the midpoint of that range early on this week. As it stands now, that is a major reason why the market, overall, feels as though it is sloshing around into the end...

Enough of the Nonsense

In an interview on CNBC this morning we saw Wharton Professor Jeremy Siegel declare that the stock market will surge in 2021 regardless of whether Trump or Biden wins. In and of itself, that is not really news to any of us who have followed him over the years, despite the catchy headline (Siegel is pretty much a perma-bull). More telling, to...

This Time Around, They Are Not Waiting for You

As an example, did you know that one of the silver linings from the Great Depression was that the wealth gap...

Haunted House or Not for October

We have another mixed bag this morning in the broad market, as "chop" seems to be on the tip of most traders' tongues, and rightly so. Beaten-down and prominent names like BA are bouncing a bit after having a rough week, while banks continue to slump and seem unable to sustain bounces. Momentum monsters like PENN are certainly not giving up...
