Covered Some Apple But We're Not Out of the Woods
I took advantage of the AAPL news overnight about plunging demand to trim part of a short position I have held with Members since a $165 entry. However, the larger point for me is that the Bank of England's action this morning smacks of desperation and genuine panic on the part of a major central bank. In my view, we are still in the fairly...

You Sure About That, Chief?
In my usual Morning Prep Video for Members pre-market, we looked at the 30-minute chart of the QQQ, updated below intraday. Into the pre-market spike in the futures both the QQQ and SPY were up against recent resistance dating back to last week (which broke as support). And into the teeth of the opening squeeze higher, TLT was clearly...

Picture It: Wall Street, 1937
Unlike some other folks I do not pretend to know every micro move of the market--Calling every little single top and bottom, sometimes intraday, and then going radio silent when said call does not pan out. Instead, you get me here every day working through markets in real-time with real money. Thus, we would be remiss not to point out the 1937...

The Rally Everyone Sees Coming
While I admit I did take some partial profits in shorts this morning off the opening bell I am reticent to embrace the idea that an imminent, strong rally is materializing. True, you can point to some mildly oversold metrics coupled with elevated put/call ratios. But, as we hav noted with Members, bear markets have different thresholds for...

We Need More Fear, Dear
You may have noticed the very same folks who hold themselves out to the world as being superior to "Twitter Furus" or the like are now thoroughly succumbing to the very thing they criticized--Trying to either "nail" every single tick in a random (near-term) bear market or, in hindsight, sell a story where they are so hedged that they "win" in...

Lots of Bottom Callers Out There
So let me get this straight--Less than twenty-four hours after a much expected short squeeze rally after the FOMC reverse down hard to multi-month lows we now have a ton of bottom-callers out there this morning saying we are oversold and that sentiment is way too bearish? Recall that, as we noted last week, sentiment analysis in bear markets...

Human Nature Repeats for a Reason
It was not too long ago that market players (newcomers and surprisingly a ton of veterans, too) were proclaiming a new era where "stonks only go up," (sic) mostly due to The Fed, fiscal stimuli, and a plethora of retail participation speculating on easily accessibly apps and platforms taking on tons of risk via margin. Currently, a chunk of...

What if None of it Has Been Priced In?
Back in early 2020, as Coronavirus headlines swirled around the world, U.S. stocks totally ignored them well into February. It became a common trope that it was all priced in, as clearly the market was well aware of the headlines and the spread of Corona to many countries besides China (Italy e.g.). Of course, a few weeks later the market...
