Still on the Prowl

Despite the sleepy market action today, or perhaps because of it, bulls are still far from feeling threatened in terms of bears succeeding in rolling this tape back over. Simply put, the old axion about not shorting dull markets has generally survived the test of time on Wall Street for good reasons. Furthermore, the small cap outperformance...

Don't Play Taps for Retail, Just Yet

During the swoon we saw to close out 2018, not to mention parts of January when department store titans like Macy's and Nordstrom gapped down violently, retail stocks suffered a fair amount of damage even compared to other sectors during the correction. However, some intriguing names have been popping up of late, including the likes of Lovesac...

Improper Nostalgia

While bears have drawn plenty of historical analogies between the current broad market landscape versus, say, the spring of 2008, when a seemingly convincing rally fell apart at the seams and led to one of the most violent crashes in the last fifty years, we also must acknowledge that a plethora of tech plays (mostly in software, cybersecurity,...

Playing Hard to Get

The seemingly inevitable market pause at a confluence of obvious resistance on most of the major index charts continues to play out, though bears are making their case more forcefully today than yesterday. Still, if we wind up merely backing and filling sideways for a few more days before bulls reassert themselves it is most definitely worth...

We Can Draw Lines Any Way We Want

One of the more challenging aspects of real-time, hands on charting software in the social media age is maintaining a certain degree of objectivity and consistency in our analysis. After all, we are the masters of our charts, at least superficially, and are therefore capable of drawing lines any way we wish. But if we are going to be on the...

I Wonder if You Wonder

Lest we become too immersed in the innuendo scene from my favorite film noir ever made, Double Indemnity (1944), I will simply state that I wonder if you truly wonder about whether a chart like Fitbit has turned the corner. We know FIT remains heavily-shorted, and seeing the squeezes today in the likes of OSTK and SNAP should keep our ears...

It's Not Just a Game

Names like ATVI GLUU (which had been acting brilliantly for months on end) EA GME TTWO are all either getting pummeled this morning or, ion the case of GME, have been in a bad technical spot for a while now. Needless to say, the "gamers" space is clearly not on the level of enterprise software in terms of technical health and prospects for...
