A Glance Into the Abyss

Despite The Fed standing pat at its most recent meeting and not raising rates, some of the reactions by the "rate-sensitive" sectors hint at tightening cycle still underway. Specifically, the utilities are testing the 200-day moving average on the sector ETF for the first time since January. On the XLU daily chart, below, the ETF clearly broke...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

Netflix recently ordered a second season of Last Chance U (2016), its first sports documentary. And if the second season comes anywhere close to the quality of the first season's six episodes, it will be a huge success. Without question, the first season of Last Chance U , released this past July, surpassed the expectations of even the...

An Oktoberfest Truce for Deutsche Bank?

As we noted earlier, the heightened non-financial media exposure to DB over the last twenty-four hours or so reached a crescendo to the point where an imminent swoon became less likely. After all, if everyone is thinking the same, then no one is thinking. That is not to say DB has permanently bottomed, but as we finish the day, week, month,...

Operation Market Garden-Variety Pullback

A morning upside reversal in German bank Deutsche Bank is adding fuel to the broad market's upside rally as we speak. In some respects, the reversal should not have come as too much of a surprise, given the headlines suddenly appearing on non-financial media websites and television shows about the bank and its potential issues. Even if DB...

There's the Rub

Headed into the bell on what has been a wild session, the mega caps in the Dow look rather ominous and perhaps headed towards a major break. But the Nasdaq and small caps balance out the pessimism, with the QQQ ETF still above its 20-day simple moving average. Despite the DB concerns and the Dow swooning 200-points intraday, if bears cannot...

Back for Another Total DB Move

Bulls were well on their way to a fairly mild day of consolidation this morning, especially in light of yesterday's upside reversal, when Deutsche Bank reared its head again and a sharp intraday sell-off ensued. The Dow suddenly found itself down more than 200 points, and the S&P 500 Index actually breached yesterday's lows. I took the...

This Mime Speaks to Us

Mimecast is a name we have been long inside Market Chess Subscription Services, entering at $16.10 last week and looking for immediate upside. Instead, the stock struggled to reclaim its 20-day moving average and then got hit with a 4 million share, dilutive secondary offering earlier this week in the after hours Monday night. The London-based...
