Back in an Energy Short; Chess Moves

This is roughly a 4% position in my trading portfolio. Crude oil and energy stocks faded off the OPEC rumor and subsequent spike earlier this afternoon. They all remain in overall...

Inversion Issues for Tesla
Tesla Motors continues to operate at the cross-section of an important technical juncture. On the one hand, the case can be made for a broad, cockeyed topping pattern (light blue lines on daily chart, below). But on the other hand, Tesla is still a super-stock from 2013 with major disruptive abilities in the auto sector. Beyond that, the stock...

Connecting the Dots
The trade setup we discussed late-last week, for another round of weakness in crude oil, looks to be playing out this morning. In addition, connecting the dots to correlated assets, Russia is gapping down and energy stocks may be ripe to short, too.
