White Collar Tastes; Blue Collar Grind
After a hot CPI print this morning we have some incredibly familiar Nasdaq-versus-the-world price action playing out as we speak. At the risk of being redundant regarding that glaring divergences across a structurally weak equities (and credit) market, I would much rather focus this morning on actionable trade ideas: The nitty-gritty blue...

Shaken and Stirred, Yet Unperturbed
An amorphous, overall trend-less equities market for months has been the main takeaway for swing traders, lending itself to natural frustration. Sure, the bond market has been selling off, and we have been on top of that with Members, trimming a TBT play into the recent pop in rates before the cooling off this week. However, when it comes to...

At the End of the Day
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq, respectively below on their daily charts, have easily been the two strongest indices of late, as virtually all other indices are below their own 200-day moving averages. But not the S&P and Nasdaq. Hence, instead of cherry-picking the weaklings, let us focus on these two. Simply put, at the end of the day (or perhaps...

Isn't That Just Like a Commodity Market?
Over the weekend Israel declared war following a surprise attack from Hamas. It is a rather convenient fact, indeed, that crude oil had been sharply pulling back for about the last week and a half following a prior, steep rally, rending this gap up perhaps just the start of a new move higher rather than a typical sell-the-news setup. Commodity...

Holding it All Up
My bearish bet on the bond market continues to work well, as I trimmed some more of a TBT long position which I have actually held for most of this year with Members. That said, the persistent and seemingly omnipresent bid in equities is out in full force, once again, with stocks flipping green as I write this despite the red-hot inflationary...

It is a New Battlefield; Adjust Accordingly
The team with the longest winning streak in New Jersey high school football currently (33 games and counting) is Caldwell High School, a program with which I am quite familiar. The Chiefs, located in West Caldwell, have been a powerhouse for a school of their size--especially a public one--for many, many decades, with several state...

Where Are We Going, Where Have We Been?
The title of this post is a variation of the title of a short story by Joyce Carol Oates , “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?," featuring one of the most evil, cunning characters in modern American literature, Arnold Friend. Ironically, many literary critics have argued that Friend was not even a real character in the story, but...

It's Supposed to Be a Non-Judgmental Intervention!
With rumors swirling about Japan's Ministry of Finance intervening in currency markets to support the free-falling Japanese Yen, let us get one thing abundantly clear: Intervening (or perhaps the mere appearance and perception of it) in global markets by government entities and/or central bankers is always from a position of weakness and...

What's the Old Saying? Credit Leads
High yield corporate bonds (HYG ETF, first daily chart, below) are sporting fresh breakdowns this morning, not to mention junk bonds and investment grade corporates (LQD ETF on second chart). Simply put, credit is starting the month and quarter with a fairly resounding bearish tone amid higher rates. This action stands in stark contrast to the...
