Play it Safe with Baba Booey
BABA has been a short idea we have been charting in recent sessions, as the $80 level failed to hold for the controversial stock. Earnings, however, are coming up later this week, on Thursday, which of course can trump this chart one way or the other. Into big strength, $80 then $86 would be levels of interest upside, whereas a major...

Making a Statement with the Dollar
Even with the U.S. Dollar ETF, seen below on the daily timeframe for UUP, trying to stabilize at its 100-day moving average and green this morning, select commodities are flexing, namely crude oil. In addiiton, natural gas has been on a tear of late and may finally be turning the corner into summer. Precious metals remain rather sloppy...

Tricky Motherfrackers
David Einhorn came out swinging today at the Ira Sohn Conference, sticking it to fracking plays and labeling them as "motherfrackers." In particular, his bear thesis and "motherfracker" commentary pointed towards Pioneer Natural Resources. (PXD). First and foremost, PXD reports earnings tomorrow, which could certainly trump any current...

On Track to Break Bad This Summer
Although it has been sacrilegious to suggest it, the failure of bonds to sustain an oversold bound of late does indeed constitute at least some change in character, compared to what we have seen for a while now. After I sold my TBT long last week (an ultra-short ETF targeting the likes of TLT), I expected at least some type of bounce in bonds...

A Wet Republic of Underwater MGM Longs
After the heavily-promoted but Mayweather/Pacquiao fight turned into a punchline of sorts due to its anticlimactic nature, combined with soft Macau numbers this morning, MGM Resorts International is notably lagging a market bounce. On the daily chart, below, note the potential for another breakdown below $21. Bulls will want to salvage the...

Back Over the Net to Berkshire Bulls
If you followed my work back in 2010 through 2012, then you know I was wildly bullish on Berkshire Hathaway as a long-term investment, not just due to the highlighted symmetrical triangle pattern seen on the monthly chart, below, but also to a myriad of other factors. As the largest component of the XLF, sector ETF for the financials, it merits...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
In light of the mega fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao later tonight, I am going to recommend an old favorite of mine, the boxing film Diggstown (1992). A James Woods classic, you will find one of his best performances in this overlooked late-summer of 1992 film. Woods plays a “good con man” in lieu of just another...
