Market Forecast: Choppy with a Chance of Thunder Bolts
Amid the many complaints by traders about today's boring, choppy session, a few under-the-radar names are moving interesting moves. To follow-up on the theme we discussed in yesterday's full-length Weekend Video Strategy Session for Members (which I posted here on the main site, too), protectionism could easily be a developing theme for U.S....

Will Starbucks and the Consumer Fend off Diabetes?
It is fitting, in light of the controversy Starbucks had to quash earlier this year, that the sugar rush SBUX and indeed many marquee consumer names have enjoyed going back many years is still under scrutiny by the market. Beyond that, SBUX and the likes of DIS NKE UA, among others, have shown discernible cracks in their respective foundations...

Volatility Still Sleeps with the Fishes
To kick off the week leading up to Memorial Day Weekend, stocks are drifting with a bullish bias, particularly in the biotechnology arena. Interestingly, the volatility ETFs, such as VXX UVXY TVIX, are in the red as I write this while the actual VIX is green. One way to interpret this action is that the retail trader is wholly complacent,...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
Even if you are not the most steadfast basketball fan, I still recommend the well-crafted "Bad Boys: 30 for 30," courtesy of ESPN, available on Netflix, among other places to watch. During arguably the Golden Age of the NBA in the 1980s into the Michael Jordan-dominated 1990s, the Detroit Pistons won back-to-back Championships in 1989 and...

With This Market, You'll Need a Certain Zen
The day-to-day whipsaw continues for equities, as bulls seize back the initiative today even if more work is ahead of them next week into the Memorial Day weekend. For now, we are focusing on some special situations seemingly obvious to the chop, as well as to the Dollar, which I will update for Members in my regular Midday Video coming up....

These Freedom Fries Don't Run
As has been the theme of recent blog posts regarding the U.S. Dollar, even though miners stages an explosive rally in the winter and spring months we need not get carried away assuming the greenback will meet its demise in a straight line to the downside. And then there is also the issue that King Dollar has just staged a bear trap for the...

RS Stands for Relative Strength
Into this most recent consolidation for miners and steels, what we like to do for Members is to point out an update group of names holding up well, or exuding relative strength. Reliance Steel is easy to remember, then, a name we had previously noted as being not far from its prior 2008 highs (which is a claim very, very few global miners or...

More Celebration for Shorties in This Sector
The main sector in the broad market we have abhorred, going back a good while, has been solar. Simply put, the technicals in the TAN, solar sector ETF, have been undesirable for as far back as it can be recalled. And, more importantly, the continuos risk of individual solars blowing up, so to speak, has not yet abated. SUNE is one such example,...
