The ARKK is Taking on Water
I am still short ARKK via a long SARK play. And as you can see below on the updated daily chart Cathie Wood's growth stock buffet is at risk of support trend and the key $38 level. Given the Nasdaq rally in Q1, the ARKK weakness is all the more concerning to the bull case. Going forward, I continue to look for another meaningful leg down in...

No Rate Cuts Without Calamity
After the spike up in crude oil so far this week, let us also remember that winter is behind us and summer driving season ahead.

Sugar Coated Rally Mountains
The great sugar bull market continues, as illustrated by the thinly-traded SGG ETN monthly chart pruning fresh highs, below. With sugar on a tear it is tough to see inflation collapsing anytime soon, especially given the ubiquity of sugar in the modern American lifestyle.

Another Round
Amid higher rates we have stocks showing an appetite to gobble up just about anything, including some alarmingly negative commentary out of Micron last evening.
