Visa: It's Everywhere a Bull Market Wants to Be

Visa is the marquee firm reporting tonight after the bell. Judging from the monthly chart, below, it is likely going to be tough for bears to really wreck the type of havoc they want to on this market unless and until we see that steep multi-year trend begin to show fatigue. So, I am keying off the reaction in Visa not just tonight but also the...

A Classic Look

It may seem as though the fade off the morning highs on the S&P 500 Index is a case of "here we go again!" But when we observe the 30-minute chart for the S&P's ETF, below, note the fairly orderly pullback (light blue lines) down to prior resistance (purple line). This presents an excellent test for dip-buyers the rest of the session to avoid...

Bank Bears Need to Hold On

In the face of more weakness in Treasuries this morning, regional banks are gapping higher, by and large. As TLT moves lower, rates edge higher, which can often benefit financials. While it is widely-known amongst market players and pundits that visible banking houses like GS and MS have been faring well lately, the regionals remain a bit of a...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

Directed by the great Louis Malle, Atlantic City (1980) is unfortunately bound to be forgotten. Much like the saga and downfall of the actual Atlantic City, New Jersey, in terms of both gaming and the city itself, the film inevitably became overshadowed by other films set in gambling meccas. Case in point: Atlantic City is among the...

Creating Suspense

Despite gaps higher in Dow giants MCD and MSFT, not to mention a recent snapback rally in AXP, the rest of the market is floundering. That said, dip-buyers continue to put up a fight at 2130 on the S&P 500 Index to prevent a further sell-off. This type of a action further drives home the idea of a choppy range, perhaps lasting until Election...

The Moment of Truth for Samuel Adams

The Boston Beer Company, the brewer and brand name of Samuel Adams, reports tonight, along with MSFT PYPL SLB, and a few others firms of note. The chart for SAM has weakened of late, with a name like BREW acting much better. SAM is important because it was one of the incredible winners since 2009 which may be solidifying a long-term reversal...
