Learn Your LULU Lesson
When shares of Lululemon hit new all-time highs last December 2023 it was quite fashionable for bulls to boast about how LULU was just like COST GOOGL MSFT NVDA and other nonstop, crowded winners who simply could not lose in this market. Since then, as you can see on the monthly chart for LULU, first below, the stock has tumbled violently...

Silver's Range Expansion
"If there is a sudden range expansion in a market that has been trading narrowly, human nature is to try to fade that price move.

Stocks Keep Living the Riviera Life
The old timers would say that another round of "meme stonks" like AMC and especially GME blasting off today is a surefire sign of a market top. Of course, many would (and are) counter that we are in a new market, a new world of stocks only going up and any and all dips rendered amazing buying opportunities, where "old timers" are obsolete...

No Jinx
We have another slow melt-up type of tape today in equities, as semiconductors slightly lag due to AVGO NVDA SMTC weakness. This type of action has become so commonplace that no-one even bats an eye anymore, including hardcore bears, when we see the opening thrust down immediately met with a V-shaped buying program and a subsequent grind the...
