Quick: Someone Tell the L.A. Mayor That Silver is Having a House Party

Dating back to 2007, the $25 level on the UUP ETF, seen below on its monthly timeframe, has been a notable price magnet in terms of how this U.S. Dollar currency ETF (which pits the Dollar versus a bunch of developed economies' currencies, in aggregate) tends to revert after violent price swings. Thus, with increasing headlines and market...

Tie Goes to the Money Runner

A virtual tie amongst those firms reporting earnings last evening and this morning, namely BYND DIS LVGO SQ TDOC TWLO, is a glaring theme so far today, with DIS SQ boosting the bull case while BYND LVGO TDOC TWLO are selling off a good deal. The caveat, of course, is that the likes of LVGO TDOC TWLO all screamed into earnings and, thus, are...

A Slow But Not Deserted Station

Crude oil, understandably, gets virtually all of the attention in the energy sector most of the time.

Lonely at the Top

We have a bit of a tug-of-war in the market today, as dominant earnings winners like AAPL AMZN FB (though GOOG is soft) seek to offset small cap weakness (IWM is down 2% as I write this even with the indices off their morning lows), as well as assorted other fades. Headed into what is often a choppy, if not outright volatile and bearish, time...

You'll Like This Throwback

Although it seems like markets are changing in ways which render traditional analytical and observational methods obsolete, in reality we are seeing variations of, for example, post-1929 crash Wall Street and even monetary and fiscal responses.
