Sticking to Discipline

Despite green futures overnight and more M&A with biotech NITE being bought at a nice premium by BIIB this morning, the glaring weakness in the enterprise software (IGV) and cybersecurity (HACK) sector ETFs compels me to part ways with two longs I would prefer to hold, NEWR and SCWX. Although it may be just a morning shakeout, I am respecting...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas

Currently available on Amazon Prime, I am going to re-recommend a gripping thriller which seems to have been forgotten about over time: Marathon Man (1976), starring the impressive acting trio of Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier, and Roy Scheider. Written by the late, great William Goldman, and directed by John Schlesinger, the film hooks...

Patience Paying Off

The indices are still green but well off their opening high as I write this, forcing us to consider, yet again, just how priced in the "good news" is for the near-term. If we suffer a deep red close today, headed into the weekend of a new month, that would perhaps be more of a blinking red light than any of the previously mild fades we have...

Sending Everything Through the Proper Channels

Seven-to-ten years ago I probably would have attached a rather provocative photo of a sexy woman with a blog post regarding Lululemon's stock and chart.

Don't Get High on Your Own Overhead Supply

One of the more interesting aspects about the two-month rally which commenced on Christmas is how universal the opinion seems to be from market players and pundits alike that the current tape is rather extended as the major indices are seemingly bumping their respective heads against prior, tough resistance from late-2018. On the surface, that...

Find Me a Witness Who Can Testify

With all of the political happenings today, adding another layer of news flow on top of Fed Chair Powell's testimony before Congress, it seems all too easy to lose focus of what stocks are actually doing in lieu of the inevitable swirling headlines. Having the above in mind, we should note that this morning's weakness on the indices should not...

A Quick Drink

After several nearly two months of suffering from dehydration, bears enjoyed a quick drink of water this morning in the form of a weak futures session overnight somewhat spilling over into the opening bell. But even with mega cap firms like CAT and HD gapping lower, the market seems to be reverting to what it has done since Christmas--Quickly...
