Not So Fast, My Friend

Stocks are pushing lower yet today, with apparently too much traders expecting the usual snapback rally which the market has generously conditioned them to expect in recent years. That generosity, however, may very well prove to be fool's gold, as I suspect plenty of those prior gains have already vanished, and will continue to do so at a rapid...

An Ambush in the Oil Market

While equities drift today, as the S&P 500 Index is seemingly stuck in a 1930-1950 range now, crude oil sharply reversed lower after popping immediately following the inventory report this morning. On the updated daily chart for the USO, ETF for crude oil, below, note the triangle consolidation for nearly the past month is at risk of breaking...

The Futures Ain't What They Used to Be

After reversing the reversal of a reversal (probably off another reversal) off the futures last night, the cash market today is back in the red as I write this, with small cap stocks leading lower. Bears likely need to start pressing soon, or we are likely to see yet another late-day bump, as we have been seeing of late. Overall, the market is...

Biotechs tried to bounce at the open but were immediately sold, again, into strength, and are currently lagging many sectors and indices. As for intraday context, I noted on private feed not long ago inside...

There is No Joy in Coalville

Despite promising late-summer rallies in the likes of ACI and BTU, after a few other coal miners had declared bankruptcy, Arch and Peabody failed to sustain that strength and have now given up most or all of those gains. While those rallies gave a glimmer of hope to investors in ACI BTU that they had definitely survived the coal onslaught for...

This should be a good one. via YouTube Starring Christian Bale, Steve Carrell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt, in theaters Christmas. When four outsiders saw what the big banks, media and government refused to, the global collapse of the economy, they had an idea: The Big Short.

Like Ships Passing in the Night

There is an air of eerie quiet to this morning's gap lower in the market, which may be a consequence of weeks (or perhaps quarters) of choppy price action rendering many market players too fatigued or lethargic to even become fearful. They may also be complacent, too, since each apparent bout of selling has been bought for a good while now. Of...
