One Time, Dealer! One Time

The casinos did a nice job of bouncing back today, with LVS MGM WYNN all posing threats for a year-end rally. Beyond them, I want to see if the main slot maker IGT can stabilize for another push higher before 2017. And then there is MPEL, a pure play on Macau gaming which has also been solid of late.

Netflix Just Needs to Be Coached Up

NFLX still looks good on multiple timeframes, but just needs another push and hold back over $120 this week to go long for a Christmas run. More in my recap after the bell.

Glimmers of Glitter for Gold

In light of the Italy vote result, the overnight gold fade had to be rather frustrating for those positioning for some type of calamity in global markets. Still, in spite of the fade, the Euro rally may be what the doctor ordered for gold to muster some type of reversal down here. Clearly, observing the GLD ETF daily and monthly charts,...

Convict Your Convictions with an Impartial Jury

One of the more challenging aspects about speculating in markets revolved around the scenario where we become exciting at the prospect of a big-time, "home run" thesis for a potential legendary trade, only to see it take too long to develop. At that moment, the issue then becomes whether to show more patience or instead seek to reevaluate the...
