Less Flash, More Substance
On the back of yesterday's rally, of which we have seen similar types of sessions in recent weeks, we also have seen similar types of givebacks the following day. Indeed, some more substance to follow-up the rally and bullish setups would be favored for long-minded traders. Instead, despite some good action in biotech, again, the market is...

Take Your Biotech Marching Orders from This Stock
Barring some stock-specific news anytime soon, I suspect the issue of whether the biotechnology sector rally not only continues to hold but also broadens out can be seen in the likes of Amgen and a few other IBB plays.

We May Be in the Tommy Cheeseballs Phase of This Market
Just in time for summer at the Jersey Shore, we may be in for a few days of highly speculative action as even the trashy, downtrodden names get involved in the fun. As an example, while their charts are actually decent, the 3D printing plays perking up may be a sign that extreme animal spirits are rising up, as the opening market gap higher...

It's Not Always About the Breakouts
We often discuss looking for signs of actual buyers when a stock pulls back before assuming any type of bottom is in place. While a bull run may essentially bail out dip-buyers time and time again, it is still useful to keep this discipline in mind, especially considering the carnage even in this market in the retail and energy sectors over the...

It's Bell BIVV Devoe Time for Biotech Stocks
It appears as though the small and mid market capitalization biotechnology issues housed in the XBI ETF are catching an impressive rotation early on this morning.

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
Following in tradition for this website on Father's Day Weekend, the great father/son tale told in Road to Perdition (2002) is worth a viewing (or a repeat viewing). My own father died in 2002, not long before this film was released. I often wonder if he would have liked it as much as I think he would have. I suppose I will always associate...

Optical Illusions Back in Play
The opticals ( fiber- optic component makers) have seen rotation within the group for a while now, with leadership alternating in an endless game of musical chairs.
