Hey, Dr. Jones, No Time for Love. We Got Setups!

Strong day for the Nasdaq and indeed many beaten-down growth names, such as our MASS play from yesterday.

But for swings there are relative strength...

Shallow Hal Market

The growth darlings during the heart of 2020 (from the March lows through about Halloween/Thanksgiving) went from looking like, shall we say, one version of Gwyneth Paltrow in Shallow Hal (2001) to, shall we say, another version of her. As it stands now, many of the hot-to-trot growth names of 2020 are not looking very good at all on daily...

...But I Might Be a Whole Mass

Into the bell, I went long 908 Devices, Inc. after they had earnings this morning, with a stop-loss below $41. Located with all the wonderfully warm and pleasant people in Boston, Massachusetts, 908 has the appropriate ticker symbol, MASS. To be serious, though, if you take a gander at their website and read the conference call I think you...

A Leader Returns from Exile

Beyond the bullish price action itself, not to mention the relative strength to choppy if not outright bleeding growth names thus week, one of the more bullish aspects about the rallies in materials plays like USCR and X has been the downright lack of enthusiasm from market participants and pundits alike concerning the group's strength. To be...

Let's Go HAM, But Not in a Bill Hwang Kind of Way

Concerns about a contagion in the wake of Bill Hwang's forced liquidation last Friday are clearly front and center this morning, as the financial news media runs with the sensationalist story of a gambling fund manager who may very well be one of the poster children for the unintended consequences of The Fed's historically easy approach to...

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...
