Three Card Monte Market
There are so many moving parts to the current market, with aggressive daily rotations and dispersion, that it can drive one mad to try to time every near-term top and bottom across the board.

Back in the Metals, Planning to Add
To keep things actionable around here, precious metals and derivative miners seem to be finding a bid after their recent harsh shakeouts.

Leaving Las Vegas Without Spending So Much
Casino operator MGM is being sold aggressively today despite trying to sound optimistic on its earnings call after reporting record net revenue, pointing to long-term opportunities in China, Japan, and online with BetMGM. Be that as it may, the firm missed on bottom line earnings and is being punished in kind by the market. For our purposes,...

The Three Amigos the Next Three Days
I see rates are softening this afternoon after another recent push higher. Be that as it may, we have the full gauntlet of major earnings coming the next three evenings, starting with GOOGL tonight. On the GOOGL MSFT AMZN (each successively reporting the next three nights) weekly charts, below, I am still looking for the law of large numbers...
