Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas

There is no denying that Vincent Gallo is a different breed of cat. But his talent is equally as undeniable. Buffalo ’66 (1998) remains Gallo's finest work to date, in which he headlines the cast on top of writing and directing the low-budget independent film. A nearly unrecognizable Christina Ricci also turns in a memorable performance, as...

Clawing Back

While tech stocks (and plenty of others) continue to consolidate a bit after a steep rally, it is interesting to note that lost in the shuffle of Senate votes, the Dow, Bitcoin, and other issues is the improvement in crude oil. On the USO daily chart, below, which is the ETF for crude oil, we can see the steady progress over the last two...

Hunting Season Not So Easy This Year

One of the more interesting aspects of what has been a busy week of market news is that standard short attacks on names like ROKU do not seem to hold as much water as they once did, this one by Citron Research. I was fortunate to sell a ROKU long on Tuesday morning inside Market Chess Subscription Services before a series of tweets and media...

Tech to Teck Keeps Bears in Check

Even though the major averages are bouncing back this morning, namely the Nasdaq after yesterday's drubbing, the bounce still underwhelms compared to the selling and volume we saw on Wednesday. Thus, despite the pattern for this market to immediately shake off all weakness this year, I am inclined to give tech another day or two to see what it...

Reduce and Realign

Much like the photo above, it is rather easy to view today's market action as a major peak or "top." But beyond the tech drubbing, which is only one day so far, the reality is that plenty of other sectors seem to be happily enjoying sector rotation. We need to pay close attention in the coming days to see whether these rotations have legs. As...

Potato, Potahto, NVIDIA, Nevada: Don't Call the Whole Tech Off

Although we generally do not want to become too bearish, too soon on this historically resilient market, the aggressive selloff in the Nasdaq today is occurring on notably heavy volume in the midst of a classic sector rotation. I will flesh out what that rotation means, and some more actionable ideas stemming from it, in my usual Midday Video...

Late-Stage Waves

The clear rotation this morning down away from "FANG" plays and the general Nasdaq Composite Index towards banks, brokers, insurers, and retail stocks smacks of late-stage bull market rotations. When we think of "late-stage" moves, in may conjure up a variety of scenarios, though. Those who have been rooting for a market top will look for an...
