Dating Games; Earnings Games
I spent the better part of the last few hours trying to get ahold of someone in the corporate department for one of my holdings to see whether or not they actually had earnings tomorrow morning. And with the way corporate phone lines are set up now, it seemed like a miracle that I was able to get another human being on the actual phone to get...

Coming Home for the Holidays
In the midst of what seems like too many market players and pundits alike focused on whether or not we see another pullback before a potential year-end move higher, my focus is more on the underlying health of various key sectors. Recently, we have seen the likes of semiconductors flash spurts of brilliance, although they be able to reasonably...

Dicerna for the Discerning Trader
There is nothing inherently wrong with choosing to abstain from trading individual biotechnology issues. After all, we have seen plenty of examples of the years of biotechs looking sharp, acting well with promising drug(s) in the pipeline, only to gap down an obscene amount due to a disappointing drug trial and/or an unfavorable decision by the...

Remember American Express?
Still in the Dow. Still relevant. Still an iconic brand. With the Dow Jones Industrial Average surging up and out of a multi-month/quarter consolidation, it is hard not to think that AXP will reemerge as more of a high profile stock, once again. Inside Market Chess Subscription Services, we noted the name for Members this morning as breaking...

A Journey Full of Danger
You just knew there would be the inevitable adversity as energy stocks embark on their journey to cement a major bottom. Just this morning, for example, the sector is fighting to shrug off FANG or Diamondback Energy's roughly 13% post-earnings selloff. The good news is that Whiting Petroleum (WLL) actually went green this morning off its own...

Time to Zig When They Should Zag
Stocks are mostly cooling off this morning after a nice run in recent sessions, something which is entirely understandable and to be expected especially with a variety of post-earnings selloffs from the likes of AMRN UBER SHAK. Going forward, though, the larger test will be whether this digestion spawns a larger pullback and conjures up...

Long Live the Commodities Bear Market, Part Deux
More good news for the working thesis that the energy complex has put in a long-term bear market bottom: Natural gas is confirming an intermediate-term inverse head and shoulders bottoming formation, seen below on the UNG ETF daily chart, with a strong gap up above its 200-day simple moving average (yellow line) today. True, natty is enjoying...

Let's Take a Recess from the Recession Talk
Further strength in the broad market today, including the suddenly explosive-looking small caps in the IWM (ETF for the Russell 2000 Index) is surely putting bears on the run. For a while now, the overhang of choppy price action in the face of geopolitical, economic, and monetary risks, not to mention global growth slowing, all served to give...
