Market Corrections Test Your Mental Toughness More Than Anything Else

Unlike smooth market uptrends, when large market players (institutions) of size are typically cool, calm, collected, and often buy stocks in the face of even the most bearish of news, market corrections often feature a certain degree of wild indecision as those big players unload stocks or at least refrain from buying them. It is during those...

Counselor! Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are

Are we sure Apple is a safe haven and safe hideout for longs in what is obviously a deepening broad market correction? Granted, I am talking my book here, as I am still short part of my AAPL position inside Market Chess Subscription Services.

Operation: Live to Fight Another Day

In markets like these, with daily whipsaws, head-fakes, and now some more deterioration as the selling spreads to even sectors which were exuding relative strength of late (consumer names, energy), we must always return to a basing tenet of speculation, which is: Loss of opportunity is not nearly as damning as loss of capital.

Fresh Ideas for a Levitating Market

Bears seem to have fumbled a few opportunities today to truly bring this market to its knees, as the resilience of the energy sector likely galvanized buyers to try to salvage other parts of the market, like tech. With energy still strong nearly across the board, we want to put it the work to identify ancillary sectors which often fare well...

A New Market Cycle Officially Hatches

With the Fed now in a tightening cycle, the last few weeks seem to drive home the point that Treasuries and stocks will now likely be moving in unison more than at any other time we have seen in a while.

So a Farmer Walks Into a Bar...

While it may seem like an afterthought, the price action in many fertilizer and agribusiness plays in general lately has been no joke. Indeed, the likes of ADM BG CF MOS NTR, among others housed in the MOO ETF for agribusiness (below, on the daily timeframe) has been the epitome of relative strength to the broad market over the last several...

More Options Than You Think

Dip-buyers are making an early attempt to blunt the rare downside momentum bears enjoyed last week in the small caps, and eventually the Nasdaq, too. I suspect that bulls had better hang onto and indeed build on this bounce in order to stave off another afternoon swoon, not unlike what we saw in several instances last week. Inside Market Chess...
