These Woods is for Livin'

And these markets is for tradin'. A pep talk like the one Richard Harrow received in the woods may be in order for some, as the market is functioning like a classic trader's market for now, buying the hot CPI number but then fading the opening pop as we speak. The main takeaway for me is that we are entering both the heart of earnings...

The Next Battlefield Maneuver

Should commodities stage a new leg higher within a reasonable period of time, the refinery stocks continue to look undervalued and under-appreciated. Names like CVI PSX and VLO have already run up sharply over the last ten sessions or so, and I would not be chasing them here before a brief consolidation. However, the likes of Holly, below on...

In other words, the "Greenspan" boys and girls who came of age (like I did) with the likes of Fed Chairs Greenspan and Bernanke,...

Back to the Well One Too Many Times

Shares of GameStop, easily one of (if not the) poster children for the sort of liquidity bonanza The Fed created since March 2020, popped hard last evening after the bell on news the firm plans to create a marketplace for non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. As you know, NFTs have become the chic phrase du jour related to crypto. And the GME fanatics...

Sneaky, in Camouflage

Recently, but not today, we have seen the pattern of a notably weak Nasdaq and growth stocks while the Dow was strong. The old timers would say that the Dow was lying in this setup, to allow for the big money to distribute or unload shares of growth titles to the unwitting retail players who assumed that the market was A-OK because...

Sloshing Around

Mixed early action virtually across the board is leaving many traders discombobulated as to whether the selling in growth stocks has truly abated. To my eye, there remains a distinct state of denial with respect to the Fed tightening already set in motion. Many simply refuse to accept that The Fed will actually hike rates and reduce their...
