Lessons from a Rocky Market
As we wind down a volatile week in the market, many seem eager to look for reasons for a rally instead of a further sell-off. I will discuss the broad market more in-depth over the weekend in my Weekend Video Strategy Session. But as we zoom towards the bell on to close out the week, consider LNKD. I discussed on last Sunday's Strategy Session...

Pressing a Bet; Chess Moves
I added to my open GOOGL short here at $551.18, pressing the bet for further weakness next week. My original entry was noted here earlier this week at $557.15 with a cover-stop over $585. My cover-stop remans the same, and the position now equates to roughly 6% of my portfolio capital. The bear thesis of a weekly topping pattern is still...

A Look Across Multiple Timeframes for Lumber Liquidators
As I mentioned in recent video market recaps, although it is tempting to play for a big, contrarian bottom with a widely-disucssed swoon for both the stock and company's reputation, the idea was to resist the urge to play LL for anything more than a quick long scalp. On the monthly chart, first below, the best case bulls can make is that the...

Pier to Somewhere or Nowhere
Below you will find a 10-minute chart of the SPY, actively-traded ETF for the S&P 500 Index. After some heavy selling this morning, buyers are trying for a bounce into the afternoon. To my eye, the purple lines could easily denote a bear flag, simply setting up more weakness into the end of week. $205.20 looks to be a short-term battleground...

Jumping to the Other Side
Below I present the AmEx weekly chart, a name I went short earlier this morning. Note the major confirmed top, targeting the low-$60's. I do not believe the recent bounce qualifies as evidence of a false breakdown, or bear trap. Instead, the most basic interpretation of the chart is the AmEx is jumping from bull to bear after multi-year run,...

This Trade is a Contender Now; Chess Moves
I just went short AXP at $80.07 with a cover-stop over $84 on a daily closing basis. This position equates to roughly 4% of my portfolio capital. AmEx is a name I have charted extensively as a bearish confirmed top for a while now. And after a snapback rally I am simply playing for that top to continue to force the issue lower. I will present...

Long Gogo Into the Bell; Chess Moves
Into the closing bell, I went long GOGO at $19.93 for a daily chart bull flag/short squeeze breakout. My stop-loss is under $19. GOGO is a heavily-shorted stock, and for good reason--The in-flight WiFi firm was smashed after is IPO last year. But not it may be trying to come back to life. And the daily chart indicates as much, with a bull...

Covering Up Some Late-Winter Laggards; Chess Moves
Staying true to my word, I am going to ditch a few of my holdings in order to either lock in wins, prevent winners from turning into losers, or keep losses small. Specifically, I covered my CMG short at $669.64 from my entry of $660.16 for a loss. I would rather step aside here than risk the name drifting up on me without a profit cushion....

Shifting Gears; Chess Moves
I covered the rest of my FB short, just now at $78.78 from my $80.19 posted entry and rolled that money over to a new TSLA short at $190.88. I had previously scaled half of the FB short here at $77.88 . While FB may just be getting started in terms of rolling over, I am seeing more relative weakness today out of TSLA. And I know I can always...
