Yearning for the Chase
Equities are largely shaking off another bout of weakness in crude oil the morning, as the large banks like Morgan Stanley and beaten-down problem stocks like GE are rallying nicely, perhaps signaling some type of reprieve into the FOMC tomorrow afternoon. Still, the major averages are off their session highs as I write this, with many traders...

The Biggest Napoleon Complex
With all of the talk about rates, trade wars, the economy, leveraged loans, debt, and geopolitical risks, it is easy to lose track of the fact that of all the index charts we track for Members related to U.S. equities, it is actually the micro-cap issues which have been leading us lower.

A Defined Holiday Scene in Place
Despite persistent weakness in some iconic banking houses, like Goldman Sachs, as well as in the small caps, and in addition to recent stalwarts finally getting hit this morning (such as TTD ZS in software), the ETF for the top 100 stocks in the Nasdaq Composite Index is at least offering up a defined line in the sand headed into Wednesday's...

Frozen Again
After playing a few precious miners on the long side with Members in recent weeks, I went ahead and locked in the rest of a trade this morning to unwind exposure to the complex in the near-term. Simply put, with the U.S. Dollar gapping higher, once again, as seen on the UUP ETF daily chart, below, I have little interest in pushing the envelope...

You Didn't Go to Hell, You Went to Purgatory, My Friend!
Bulls may think they have gone to stock market "Hell" since October, but a knowledge of market history beyond the last five years or so dictates that this type of price action is much more consistent with "Purgatory" than anything else. On the one hand, rallies are being met with selling on a daily basis, as the vast array of opening gaps...

You Can't Always Ask for a Fade
After being lulled into a certain sense of numbness regarding the daily whipsaws and faded gaps higher we have seen in this market over the past few weeks (if not months), this morning's latest installment of the opening surge playbook has more than held its own within the first ninety minutes of trading. While that may seem like a minor, if...

Look This Black Swan in the Eye
While we know Apple, GE, crude oil, and small caps have all had their issues in recent weeks, the price action in the banking sectors, gauging the KRE and XLF ETFs, has been most alarming. Prominent and even iconic global banking houses like DB GS MS have seen their stocks get pummeled with no mercy shown by the market for most of this...
