GNRC, the firm which sells backup generators, was up this morning and is now off nearly 3%. Natural gas continues to weaken, a perennial disappointment for...

Commodities Came Down with a Classic Case of Pre-Halloween Diabeetus

Lost in the shuffle of the natural gas swoon as well as the metals and crude oil whipsaws has been the resurgent strength in sugar, taking over the reigns in the soft commodity complex while cocoa pulls back after a summer rally. Using the SGG ETN as a rough proxy, below on the daily timeframe, note the sharp rally this week in sugar. The...

There is Beauty in That Decay

Leveraged ETFs such as NUGT (triple-long GDX, senior gold miners) and TZA (triple-short IWM, the Russell's small cap stocks), as well as FAZ (triple short XLF, financial sector) all reversed-split.
