You See There, Scooter. He Thinks of the Simplest Things First

We live in a social media and finance world these days where overanalyzing a plethora of backward-looking statistics, esoteric options market flows, and just about every explanation under the sun as to why the market supposedly, allegedly, can or can not do something at any given moment. Against that backdrop, I find it often best to boil...

Rocket Emoji Leads to Failed Doji

I continue to stay sidelined in cash as the price action this week has morphed from a bit worrisome to downright brutal this afternoon. Case in point: The small caps in IWM were supposed to put in an "inside day" of a mild bounce at their 50-day moving average, as we charted earlier for Members and on my main Twitter feed in the session--At...

Splitting the Baby

Cathie Wood's latest price target of $3,000 for TSLA may very well prove to be an inadvertent "splitting the baby" moment for the market. Well, at least for tech and growth.

While the potential inverse head and shoulders...

Hitting for Contact

Although we all desire stock market home runs, especially when we have witnessed the epic moves over the last few years in everything from PENN to GME to AMC to TSLA to, recently, TKAT (and the list goes on and on), the reality is that the current tape has mixed messages and is likely a better spot (in percentage terms) to be what is known in...

Plenty of Talk About Outer Space These Days...

Early on in this morning's session we have a QQQ bounce coinciding with bullish seasonality but especially in conjunction with rates on the 10-Year Note relaxing. While the inverse correlation between rates and the Nasdaq may very well be overhyped (for now), it is also worth nothing that the trade may be a self-fulfilling prophecy at this...
