Choose Substance Over Style
On the periphery of the commodities' complex for most traders can usually be found the likes of steels and solars, even chemical plays. The flashy, enticing plays seem to be solars--After all, solar power has repeatedly been claimed as the energy of the future, cost-effective and green, while steels, chemicals, etc., are seen as old hat. ...

We Know Where the Bird Turns from Red to Blue
In the wake of the MSFT for LNKD buyout earlier this morning, other social media/internet plays like TWTR and YELP initially rallied at the open. YELP is back to red as I write this, but has been coming on since its last earnings report and subsequent reaction, above its 200-day simple moving average. TWTR is still green, though. And after...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas
Unforgiven (1992) is arguably the best anti-violence film ever made; ironic since on the surface it appears to be a rather violent film. In light of the mass shooting overnight in Orlando, I am going to pick Unforgiven again, in case you still have not seen it.

The Greenback is Still Hanging on, and That Makes Things Messy
Around the same time the U.S. Dollar ETF, UUP, made it clear it would not relinquish its opening gains this morning after the first hour of trading or so, gold miners faded to red virtually across the board. Moreover, equities as a whole are coming in and at sessions lows as I write this, while UUP pushes session highs. Now, the inverse...

Underwater Scenery
Despite the rally in many biotechnology stocks since February, the lingering issue for the formerly leading sector remains the long-term chart. Specifically, the XBI (small/mid-cap biotech ETF) houses many of those high growth biotech issues, which could also be ripe to be bought out. Many of them are heavily-shorted and capable of explosive...

So is it Fair to Say That Today's Market was a Buffer?
Yeah, this market sure has a lot of a buffer/consolidation days, seemingly an in-between from the high energy "up" days and the benign grinding days. No real downside energy yet, though, from bears. More in my recap after the bell.

Natural Gas: This, Too, Shall Pass
After the natural gas inventory report this morning, natty is continuing the surge it has enjoyed dating back the last few weeks. We know natty has been a tough cookie to bottom-call since 2008, seemingly mired in a bear market with no expiration date. However, markets are markets. And this bear, too, shall pass. On the updated UNG (ETF for...
