Easy There, Guy, with Your "Base Breakouts"

It has been so long since we have seen a protracted bear market (in terms of duration, not the March 2020 percentage drop) that I suspect even many veteran traders have forgotten just how frustrating bears can become just when you think you have correctly declared the bottom. Specifically, protracted bear markets so often superficially feature...

Do More Scouting Before You Claim Victory

Considering the Nasdaq and other major indices still have down sloping 200-day simple moving averages, I am amazed at how many market veterans (let alone the newcomers since 2020) are declaring the bear market dead and a new bull market underway. Then again, this is recency bias at work, what with the one-way spectacular rally we saw off the...

Update on Tesla

It occurred to me--as I noticed tons of rapid Tesla bulls and bears had blocked me on Twitter over the years and I had never directly interacted with virtually any of them--that the TSLA crowd continues to be as cult-like as any in global markets, perhaps aside from Bitcoin or (dovetailing with crypto). As an example, I bet my TSLA bullish...

The "Easy" Trade Setup

To be sure, there is no such thing as an "easy" trade in markets. In virtually all forms of speculation, you will hear many arrogant types boast about how great they are and how it all comes so easy to them. As an example, I cannot tell you how many brash poker players I have seen go on a hot streak and literally lecture the loser of a given...

This Market is a Real Glitch

After a slew of halts off the open in some major names due to a NYSE glitch, it appears as though we are back to normal as dip-buyers make their daily effort. Glitches aside, Microsoft earnings this evening, followed by TSLA tomorrow night, figure to be the next immediate market moving events. And then the main event should be the FOMC next...

On a Collision Course

Courtesy of @WallStJesus, the chart below shows financial conditions easing considerably in recent months. And that goes double since the start of 2023. The market is clearly not interested in thinking too far ahead beyond trying to price in the bold assumption that The Fed will not only pause their rates hike soon but actually start easing in...
