Backroom Deal Mystique

The current market cycle we have been in since the late-March lows continues to be as forgiving to bulls and blind dip-buyers as virtually any stretch I can recall in modern Wall Street history. Not only are we seeing equities broadly snap back off President Trump's selloff-spawning tweet yesterday about a Stimulus Deal being on the shelf until...

Survival is the Goal

Quick final hour update here in a hectic market session to note that earlier today, around 11am EST inside Market Chess Subscription Services, I sold my double-bear Treasuries bet, TBT long, as the TLT ETF was testing its 200-day moving average--You can see as much on the TLT daily chart, updated below. My long-term view that rates are going...

It's Harvesting This Autumn

We have some glaring rotation attempts taking place today, with the small caps in the IWM ETF for the Russell 2000 Index clearly leading higher for bulls. However, many other parts of the market are acting lethargically, at best, if not outright churning before a drop. These competing forces may very well persist as the market awaits word on...

Stop Neglecting the Unpopular Kids

After all these years, what else would you expect from the fusion of Twitter and finance? Of course everything revolves around the "cool kids," or in this case, cool sectors and stocks which have been unflappable for months on end. Even minor pullback in the likes of AAPL AMZN TSLA ZM seem like an outright miracle for bears, but in reality when...

The Beginning of the End

Don't worry, it's a long novel. That said, this is the beginning of the end of the great bull market in Treasuries since the early 1980s, after Paul Volcker intrepidly fought the back off a vicious, long-lasting inflation in American history.

Not Even the Best Can Last Forever

While I recognize that it is human nature to gravitate towards continued hot stocks this morning, given the initially shocking news flow of President Trump and the First Lady both testing positive for the CoronaVirus in addition to Congress unable to have a meeting of the minds (being generous with the use of "minds," there), in reality there...

Twitter Down, Stock Up, Because the Medium is the Message

You may have seen the film, The Social Network (2010), which tells the true life story of Mark Zuckerberg's rise to fame and fortune as Facebook came to be. In the film, there is a memorable scene where Zuck explains why the site simply can never stop functioning and why Facebook must never go down. Mark Zuckerberg: Do you realize that...
