Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

Several weeks ago on my primary Twitter account I mentioned how impressed I was with Land of Mine (2015), as I considered it to be a superior war film to that of Dunkirk (2017). Although Dunkirk features impressive action sequences and a quality soundtrack, the film did not run particularly deep--It was the epitome of a Hollywood...

A Narrow Strip to Pass Through Autumn

Equities are largely mixed and still soft in many places after the latest jobs report this morning. On the back of the unemployment percentage headline number ticking lower, despite less-than-expected jobs created, rates are moving higher yet, likely pricing in a more certain imminent future Fed rate hike. Tech seems to be leading lower, with...

Waterfall Down; Opportunities Ahead

The morning swoon is holding into the afternoon here, as small caps continue to flash a red warning light. I will flesh this out more for Members in my Midday Video, as volatility is finally starting to perk and apparently not fading, just yet. However, we should not become too morose over this selling, as opportunities for names we have been...

Turn That Frown and Chart Upside Down

The Dow and Nasdaq seem to be growing incredibly concerned with the latest failed bounce in the small caps this week, as yesterday's strength is being overshadowed by this morning's gap down. As a result, I suspect recent hideouts for longs like Apple may now be more vulnerable than ever to finally pulling in for a bit of a reset. While the...

Speeding Without Getting Into Trouble

The energy sector rotation continues to play out, with once-downtrodden natural gas suddenly looking unstoppable behind surges of buy volume to confirm the price breakout. Quite a few energy stocks are becoming short-term extended, which is not necessarily a sell signal or even a reason for caution if this is truly just the beginning of a new...

Wynn and Sands Have Terrible Charts; But They Were Suited

Recent blog posts regarding the gaming sector have mostly focused on the outperformance of ERI, Eldorado Resorts Inc., a mid-cap gaming play with tons of growth in the more intriguing parts of the country like the Reno, Nevada area and the Texas/Louisiana border. Penn National Gaming, Inc. (PENN) is also worth a mention. But, mostly, the rest...

Tough Luck, Lonnihan

Seeing the Dow up triple digits again as I write this reminds me of some of the "setup" con jobs in the The Sting (1973), where nothing was as it seemed to the sucker or mark in the con. Specifically, small and micro cap issues continue to struggle mightily, with the IWM off by more than 1% and completely ignoring oversold conditions. ...
