Better Call Paul, Season Two

Treasuries have not yet buckled, but the price action in soft commodities (and indeed most commodities) of late, coupled with a weakening Dollar, sure smack of the early stages of some type of inflation trade. We have discussed this topic before. And the resilience of the bond market is truly legendary, with TLT actually on the cusp of a new...

However, a peculiar aspect about this rally has been the underperformance by many notable consume leaders, most...

If Team Cocoa Gets Going, It's All Over

Considering not only the surge in buy volume on the DBA ETF of late (which tracks a basket of major soft commodities), coupled with DBA breaking above a decisive bottoming formation and remaining stubbornly overbought through this morning's session, the issue becomes if we see cocoa (thinly-traded NIB is an ETN), a soft which has been lagging...

Slowly Finding Themselves Trapped

Considering the daily grind higher we have seen in markets, coupled with many under-watched stocks and sectors basing tightly and attempting upside breakouts, a pertinent issues is whether bears who bet on resistance acting as a brick wall are slowly finding themselves trapped.

Don't Do it, OG!

With Bill Ackman's VRX long down sizably this morning, the possibility for sharks circling around Ackman's other holdings remains a distinct possibility.

Bulls are running again this afternoon, as perhaps too many market players are either betting on or fearful of a large fade at obvious resistance on the indices for it to actually materialize...at least right away.
