It is a New Battlefield; Adjust Accordingly
The team with the longest winning streak in New Jersey high school football currently (33 games and counting) is Caldwell High School, a program with which I am quite familiar. The Chiefs, located in West Caldwell, have been a powerhouse for a school of their size--especially a public one--for many, many decades, with several state...

Where Are We Going, Where Have We Been?
The title of this post is a variation of the title of a short story by Joyce Carol Oates , “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?," featuring one of the most evil, cunning characters in modern American literature, Arnold Friend. Ironically, many literary critics have argued that Friend was not even a real character in the story, but...

It's Supposed to Be a Non-Judgmental Intervention!
With rumors swirling about Japan's Ministry of Finance intervening in currency markets to support the free-falling Japanese Yen, let us get one thing abundantly clear: Intervening (or perhaps the mere appearance and perception of it) in global markets by government entities and/or central bankers is always from a position of weakness and...

What's the Old Saying? Credit Leads
High yield corporate bonds (HYG ETF, first daily chart, below) are sporting fresh breakdowns this morning, not to mention junk bonds and investment grade corporates (LQD ETF on second chart).

Let Me Tell You a Couple of Three Things
Dow component and retail titan, Nike, below on the daily chart, is gapping up hard after earnings last evening. And just like with Disney, another Dow component, which gapped up in August after earnings, it would not shock be if all of the bullish cheers will soon be silenced again.

Change the Seasons, But Not My View
With TBT, the ultra-short ETF essentially betting hard against TLT and betting on higher rates, poking above $40 this morning I decided to right-size my position in long TBT wither Members down to a regular, 2% size (meaning 2% of my dedicated Market Chess educational portfolio)--My cost basis on the overweight position was $28.85 and I have...

You See Bottoms; I See Complacency
Stocks are slowly dripping lower with modest intraday bounce attempts, for now at least. However, the noteworthy action this morning is that both rates and the Dollar are spiking. I have not been shy at all in voicing my view that, ultimately, a new bond secular bear market is underway and that will be the undoing of the great equity chase...
