Natural Gas: Whoever Said the Rhyme Did the Crime

The battle to trade even a brief, cyclical bull run in natural gas may very well feel as though it has morphed into its own version of The Hundred Years' War for natty longs, what with a seemingly never-ending downtrend oftentimes failing to muster a tradable bounce for more than a day or two, at most.

Rules for the Range: I'll Be Right Back!

Some afternoon selling in the Nasdaq sees the QQQ ETF, update below on the 30-minute chart, quickly move down to the bottom end of what is a fairly tight range over the last week or so.

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

If you are in the mood for a well-acted, dark comedy which practically defines what the word " risqué" means, then Secretary (2002) is certainly worth a viewing. James Spader, one of my favorite actors, stars as an overbearing lawyer towards his emotionally vulnerable secretary Maggie Gyllenhaal. The two soon cross over the line from...

The latest update on Tropical Storm Jose from the National Hurricane Center can be visually absorbed from their graphic, above, and see in full here . It has obviously been a busy season, any way you slice it. And if Jose does strengthen to do some damage along the eastern seaboard of America in the next week or so, we want to have some...

Don't Arbitrage at Arby's

Instead of Arby's (partly owned by Wendy's), head on over to Yum! Brands, Inc. for a tastier version of "arbitrage." Specifically, for Yum! Brands, owner of KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut, the U.S. stores are slipping today (first daily chart, below, for YUM), while the China version of the YUM (ticker YUMC, second daily chart, below) is...
