The First Stop May Be the Dirtiest
With the broad market off to a sizable Monday morning bounce coming off one of the worst Thanksgiving weeks of trading in several decades, many are quick to point out potential "double-bottoms" on the various indices with respect to their prior October lows. To be sure, those patterns have not yet confirmed and are a good ways away from doing...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) is a respectable adaptation of the iconic novel of the same name by Alexandre Dumas. Ultimately, the casting makes the film worthwhile, as you can sense that the actors know they have a tall task in honoring the time-tested novel on the big screen. The novel, of course, has stood the test of time due to its...

Leftovers
Much like the leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner, this market is seeing the leftovers of a correction still playing out even during what is typically a bullish holiday week. Indeed, the action continues to be lethargic on many levels, with crude oil's plunge this morning not doing bulls any favors, either. Moreover, we have an early close today...

Happy Thanksgiving from Market Chess
On this Thanksgiving Day, I am grateful for many things: Close family, true friends, and good health, above all else. Without those blessings, life loses a certain richness and depth. I am also grateful for the broad, market mechanism regarding the way in which the internet operates in an open society. The wonderful thing about this day and...

A Savage Market as 2018 Winds Down
I have some traveling to do today for Thanksgiving, which is likely to see me staying in full cash through the holiday. While the selling may seem overdone, the reality is that bulls have failed miserably in terms of presenting themselves with any sort of conviction at fairly big technical levels, such as 2,700 on the S&P 500 Index. Indeed, it...

The Dow is 420-Friendly for Thanksgiving
The Dow is off by more than 400 points as I write this, ushering in a nasty beginning to the Thanksgiving-shortened week of trading. There are very few, if any, places to hide on the long side besides cash, as the crypto plays and pot stocks are getting clocked, too, on top of prominent tech names like CRM, NVDA, and FB. I moved back to a 100%...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas
It is easy to forget that Grumpy Old Men (1993) is a Thanksgiving movie; Well, at least one with a memorable Thanksgiving dinner scene. This film, of course as the titles insinuates, centers around grumpy old men and their feuds. Here, you get a winning comedy with legends like Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Burgess Meredith (pictured above),...

Business as Usual
Although the amount of swing trades we make during a market correction is often significantly decreased, we still must go about our business in terms of identifying the best actors during the indecisive market periods so that we can be armed with a basket of fresh winners going forward, especially when the market actually does improve. In...
