An Interesting Exhibit

Zillow Group Inc. is a name I turned wildly bullish on a few months back, especially from a long-term perspective in the VIP arm of Market Chess Subscription Services.  My reasoning centered around the potential for the numerous shorts in this name to miscalculate just how much value management intends to extract and unlock from the firm's...

Feels Like July

If you glance at seasonal statistics, July typically serves as something of a reprieve for bulls in the midst of the summer doldrums and periods of volatility if not outright correction. As we know, however, each year in the market has its own quirks. And we just completed a June for the books, especially with respect to the Dow.  Thus, even...

Back Up to the Surface

Despite weakness in shares of Boeing (BA) weighing on the Dow Jones Industrial Average this morning, small caps in the IWM and tech as a group are soundly outperforming. Indeed if most bulls had their druthers I presume they would assuredly choose IWM QQQ strength virtually any day of the week in lieu of the Dow, on account of the higher beta...

Day Two

As we have discussed in recent blog posts here and with Members, it is worth keeping a close eye on any dips the precious metals and mining complex has this week. Specifically, after such a high buy volume breakout which initially ignored overbought conditions, as illustrated by the righthand side of the GDX (ETF for senior gold miners) daily...

Roll with It or Get Rolled

Beyond headlines regarding positive developments in the U.S./China trade war talks, shares of large cap semiconductor Micron (MU) are jumping more than 12% as I write this to give bulls a breather after yesterday afternoon's slide.  To be sure, bulls must build on the early strength especially with respect to the small caps in the IWM...

Ags: The Other Commodity Meat

Much like those commercials from the 1990s centered around the theme of pork being the "other white meat," ags and ag-related stocks somehow seem to be overlooked when parts of the commodity complex rally.  Case in point: The rally in precious metals and miners, not to mention a modest bounce in crude, seem to have more than overshadowed a...

Iamgold Says "I am Your Tell"

Further softness in the broad market, especially with QQQ down more than 0.75% as I write this, on top of the small caps in IWM operating back under their 200-day moving average, is keeping bulls at bay early on this morning. It may only take a large buy program of two in order to reignite the buying pressure we saw earlier this month. However,...
