Surviving a Jurassic Park of Resistance

In a video for Members in recent weeks we covered a long-term look for the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, the "SOX." As you know, the chips were at the epicenter of the Nasdaq dot-com bubble at the turn of the century. But on the return trip to those 2000 highs we expected at least some pause over a period of months, if not quarters, as...

Selling with an Eye Towards a Buy

I sold down the rest of a SNAP long first thing this morning inside Market Chess Subscription Services, mostly looking to take advantage of the stock receiving another upgrade in the face of a weak tape. Still, part of me wanted to hold SNAP for an even bigger win, as it human nature. That said, the weekly chart, below, illustrates just how...

Solar Stocks: Oasis or Mirage?

As crude oil strengthens yet again today, coupled with buzz that domestic solars are beneficiaries (intended or not) from the Trump protectionist measures, one cannot help but return to the solar stocks, a group which has been off the beaten path for a good while now.

Growth at Low Tide This Morning

On the back of some visible Nasdaq names like ROKU and TSLA trading lower due to their own company-specific issues, tech as a whole is taking it on the chin this morning, namely the software growth stocks. It may very well prove to be merely a shakeout, but as we are seeing those shakeouts can be rather convincing. And, of course, there is...

Celebrate Them Staying Up There

Traders have a tendency to shun names which we feel we have "missed," be it a sizable earnings rally or a rally seemingly out of nowhere. However, to succumb to those short-term emotions if often a mistake in terms of unnecessarily missing out on future opportunities.

Still Sounds Like a Bird

It has been a while since we highlighted Twitter's stock, not because there was anything to hide but rather because the name was simply grinding sideways and falling through the cracks of the market as a whole. And, yet, there is no denying that the stock has come a long way since sipping into the mid-teens a few years back during a botched M&A...
