Sift Through the Summer Drift
Despite an opening gap higher off the overnight strength in the futures session, market players who came back off the holiday eager for energetic action figure to be somewhat disappointed this morning. Indeed, many stocks on my screens early on are well off session highs, though I am looking to see if bulls can regroup for another push higher...

Happy Independence Day from Market Chess!
(Pictured above is a photo from New Your City on July 4th, 1912, Independence Day Parade) At times, the stock market can seem like a neverending grind.

The Motion in the Market's Ocean
The major averages are still largely rangebound, especially the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average, while the small caps in the Russell and tech plays in the Nasdaq Composite remain a few percent off recent highs. However, with bulls defending the big, round 2,700 level on the S&P yesterday, as well as the 50-day simple moving average,...

Hey, Dr. Jones, No Time for Love
An ugly downside reversal around high noon on the east coast has me lightening up an already-very light trading portfolio this afternoon. Although there are quite a few individual names I remain impressed with, I am not looking to fall in love with a market which is clearly not going to love me back, at least for now. In general, the constant...
