Light and Tight Are Right
In this market environment, keeping positions light while also keeping a general tight leash on all trades has served us well in terms of not over-extending ourselves into a myriad of overnight gaps, either way, in recent weeks.

Over-Under on the Half Underwater Market
For at least the last few sessions, crude oil and equites have detached a bit from a previously very sensitive correlation. While I would not assume the correlation is finished, once and for all, it may very well buy bulls a few more days of a relief rally, especially with the S&P 500 Index on track to close back over its 20-day simple moving...

Someone Talked!
Stocks failed to follow-through on some boucle attempts this morning, as bulls and the potential to really trap in bears shorting the weak open. True, FB GOOGL NFLX PCLN TSLA are firmly in the green here, but below the surface not much else is moving with upside energy.

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas
One-Eyed Jacks (1961) is probably not at the very top of list of films starring Marlon Brando which immediately comes to mind for many people. But it is certainly worth a viewing, as Brando wound up directing the picture after Stanley Kubrick was fired. In fact, this is Brando's only film which he directed.

Let's Hope Zika Goes the Way of Zima
With news of the Zika Virus spreading to the United States, it is easy to conjure up the Ebola panic a few years back. The obvious HazMat suit plays back then were APT and LAKE, with LAKE currently being the more liquid and viable play over $13. However, in the case of Zika it is probably best to watch to preventive/treatment plays in...

The Real Champion Might Be Gassius Clay
While most market players are closely watching the wild swings in the crude oil pits, what with the constant news flow and apparent (until today) correlation to equities, natural gas may the champion of the two who floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.

Stocks are mostly higher this morning after Japan embarked on a negative interest rate policy ("NIRP") overnight in a close decision at the Bank of Japan, though biotechnology stocks are still relative weak and abruptly stopped me out a day-trade long earlier this morning.
