Now That the Chipotle Jokes Are Out of Everyone's System...
After a soft open, followed by a spirited snapback rally, equities as a whole are drifting through the New York lunch hour. Crude oil is in the crosshairs for many bottom-fishing traders, as are energy stocks and MLPs, as a whole. However, I suspect another day or two of washing out lower would get us closer to a more textbook tradable bounce...

Unintended Consequences for Yield Hunters
The interesting part about economics is that you always must ask the question, "And then what happen next?" to paraphrase Warren Buffett. Applied to the market landscape we face presently, the reality is that many, many years of ZIRP and QE has seen, in effect, misallocations of capital which have ended poorly, even as the major indices have...

Not Used to Seeing the Fangs Underwater
The FANG gang in the Nasdaq, the acronym for FB AMZN NFLX GOOGL, is under some pressure today. If bears are going to reverse this market lower into Christmas, it is likely that FANG will need to crack from what has been an incredibly resilient uptrend for all four leading issues.

Stocking Up for Winter
The news flow clearly points towards the potential--or at least the perceived potential--for tighter nationwide firearms regulation in the coming months. While the debate rages on, firearms makers SWHC and RGR both surge higher today. SWHC had been a quality long setup last week, positively diverging from the market on Thursday. However, we...

When Sunny Gets Blue
What a difference a year makes. Last December 2014, we took a bullish view of the mid-cap biotechnology firm Bluebird, a fairly new issue at the time. The chart had set-up technically and looked ripe for breakout higher. While the velocity of the move higher certainly was a surprise, the bullish action was not. However, the steepness of the...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
One of the great Jack Nicholson's more overlooked films (these days) is Five Easy Pieces (1970), which delves into the notion of the divide between blue and white collar jobs, mindsets, and people. It is also a good story about chasing after places, things, and people, which often comes at the expense of inner peace. I consider this some of...

They Stayed on the Path
As the market snaps back hard today, it is a good reminder to always keep a running list of stocks exuding relating strength into market weakness, as we do for Members constantly. These are stocks we look to see who have stayed on their respective paths, not blown off the path by market turbulence. Typically, that is a sign of strong underlying...
