Tales of Underwater Retail
While Michael Kors is gapping down hard after disappointing earnings, perpetuating that stock's established downtrend, Tiffany is gapping higher. On the updated weekly chart, below, however, failure by buyers to reclaim $100 may very well lead to a larger topping pattern in light of the stock's multi-year bull run. For a while now, many retail...

Raising with Air
In poker, the phrase "raising with air," means to raise an opponent when you are holding a hand of basically no value--The quintessential bluff, or setup for a bluff later on, if you will. The weak action in the transports of late continues to be cavalierly dismissed by many a market player, trivializing the significance of rails and airlines...

The Sting of a Real Pattern
Going back to last Friday on the private Twitter feed for Market Chess Subscription Service members we observed a rising wedge pattern forming on the 30-minute chart of the QQQ, ETF for the Nasdaq-100.

While the likes of SCTY and SUNE may still be in play as potential long setups in the solar sector, the reality is that most solars continue to fizzle out just when they need to get going to the upside. The action in YGE in recent quarters is still a fair warning about just how risky playing the solars can truly be, with Yingli cratering from...

Big Summer for Big Blue
IBM, being the second most heavily-weighted Dow component and Nifty Fifty relic, is still relevant through no fault of its own. On the updated monthly chart, below, "Big Blue" may finally be ripe to make its next big move after a steep breakdown to conclude 2014 and confirm a major topping patter, followed by a multi-month grind higher to the...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
On this Memorial Day weekend, The Messenger (2009) tackles the most somber side of war head on in a brutally cold and honest way, without any of the "action scenes" we have become accustomed to in even the most graphic of war films. Ben Foster, Samantha Morton, and Woody Harrelson dominate the screen, with Harrelson delivering one of his...
