Next Stop for the Fear Train Is...
A powerful downtrend in the market has yet to create some real fear and raw emotion among market players, with a certain degree of aloofness perhaps dominating the tape.

Do Not Look Down
This would be the opportune time for bulls to stop looking down, what with the XBI now off nearly 6% (!) as I write this. In addition, the market at-large seems to be buckling under the selling pressure in small caps which we noted out of the gate this morning for Members on the private Twitter feed. After some choppy morning action, bears are...

Secular Arguments Running Out of Time
The theory that equites commenced a new secular (meaning structural, long-term) bull market in 2013 gained more and more traction as the S&P 500 Index held over its 2000 and 2007 highs for a good while, as the Dow, Nasdaq, even Russell followed suit.

Someone is Lying
A few market issues stand out into the morning's mild bounce from oversold conditions. First and foremost, the small cap stocks in the Russell 2000 Index and the small/mid-cap biotechnology stocks in the XBI ETF are lagging, once again. This is likely a function of a general "risk off" environment, with growth managers dialing back risk even...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas
On this Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend, an excellent film about civil rights and race relations in the south in the 1960s is Mississippi Burning (1988). I must say that whenever I see this one come on television, I simply do not turn it off, no matter how many times I have seen it. Based on a true story (note Dr. King pictured...

Like Clockwork, After Lunch
Headed into the final hour of the week of trading, stocks are bounce well off session low which were printed during the New York lunch hour. On the SPY ETF 10-minute chart, below, we can see the S&P had settled into an intraday falling channel after the huge gap down this morning.

Iceberg, Right Ahead
The type of price action we are seeing in 2016 is consistent with the initial leg down in a new bear market. Nearly one month ago, we noted the confirmed major top in the homebuilders, a major part of the market which is also one of focal points of the U.S. economy and a chic bullish rotation thesis for many headed into last year.

Specifically, "risk off" currencies like the Japanese Yen tend to come to he forefront, as do credit markets, as opposed to healthy bull runs in equities where those correlation tend to take a backseat to the " ...
