Back Above the Mendoza Line

The CBOE Market Volatility Index, or VIX, which is considered to measure fear according to the options market, is shooting higher today after flashing signs of life last week for the first time in a good while. Back over 20, the VIX is crossing over the "Mendoza Line," so to speak, where it begins to take on some significance of typically a...

Choose Substance Over Style

On the periphery of the commodities' complex for most traders can usually be found the likes of steels and solars, even chemical plays. The flashy, enticing plays seem to be solars--After all, solar power has repeatedly been claimed as the energy of the future, cost-effective and green, while steels, chemicals, etc., are seen as old hat. ...

We Know Where the Bird Turns from Red to Blue

In the wake of the MSFT for LNKD buyout earlier this morning, other social media/internet plays like TWTR and YELP initially rallied at the open. YELP is back to red as I write this, but has been coming on since its last earnings report and subsequent reaction, above its 200-day simple moving average. TWTR is still green, though. And after...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas

In light of the mass shooting overnight in Orlando, I am going to pick Unforgiven again, in case you still have not seen it. Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, along with great performances from...

The Greenback is Still Hanging on, and That Makes Things Messy

Around the same time the U.S. Dollar ETF, UUP, made it clear it would not relinquish its opening gains this morning after the first hour of trading or so, gold miners faded to red virtually across the board. Moreover, equities as a whole are coming in and at sessions lows as I write this, while UUP pushes session highs. Now, the inverse...

Underwater Scenery

Despite the rally in many biotechnology stocks since February, the lingering issue for the formerly leading sector remains the long-term chart. Specifically, the XBI (small/mid-cap biotech ETF) houses many of those high growth biotech issues, which could also be ripe to be bought out. Many of them are heavily-shorted and capable of explosive...
