While it is certainly true that imminent further downside was a distinct risk, as I noted for...

There's No Such Thing as a Perfect Game in Trading

The various head-fakes we have seen in this headline-driven market of late have slowed down even the most enticing of growth long setups out there, mostly clustered in the software-related complex.

Interesting Correlations

Despite quite a few software and healthcare growth standouts continuing to act well, be it the likes of SMAR TWLO or a big-time winner from earlier the year, Tandem Diabetes Care, below on its daily timeframe, you get the sense that broad market concerns are keeping a lid on things for now. As a result, I have been relegated to a wait-and-see...

Time to Call it for the Summer, Right?

The temptation my very well be to cash in one's chips on the long side today and prepare for seemingly inevitable market volatility this summer, especially in light of the China/U.S. trade war tensions taking a very serious turn yesterday. Moreover, U.S./Iran tensions are not helping the cause either, in terms of adding yet another point of...
