Sneaky Sexy Strength in the Firearms Makers
Although they have earnings coming up in the next few weeks, it is still worth noting the quiet strength in firearms makers RGR and SWHC of late. Both of them had been fair money for a while, not doing much of anything. But, observing both respective daily charts, below, we can see both have been trying to carve out tight, technical sideways...

Follow-Up on Tesla
With the earnings sell-off for TSLA, the major topping pattern remains very much in play. We looked at chart yesterday, as a cockeyed head and shoulders formation. And updating it today, it looks as though the $200 area is of course of psychological important. But it also may be technically key, too. The sheer size of the pattern projects a...

Be the Predator, Not the Prey
One of the reasons I have been so quick to trim winners into strength and to abandon losers in this market is the amount of whipsaws we have seen, with gaps in both directions across all markets and head-fakes galore. With this in mind, I sold the rest of my UGAZ long yesterday to lock in a big, 20%-plus win in two days. After the gap down...

Here's to Your Health!
It looks as though the multi-year bull run in the likes of HAIN may have some more organic juice to it, especially over $59.50. On the daily chart, below, note the bull flag pattern I have highlighted which indicate buyers remain largely in control even after a prior move higher. I still believe HAIN to be a viable takeover target in the...

An Interesting Duo
Off of the COST news this morning, which obviously is not favorable to AXP, the stock is continuing on lower from the major topping pattern we have been observing for a while now. If you think it is is a coincidence that the stock had been weak for a while in front of such apparently surprising news, then I would remind you that technicals...

Closing Out a Big Two-Day Winner; Chess Moves
While the snapback rally in natural gas may very well continue tomorrow morning, it will have to do so without me. Into the final hour of trading, I sold out of the rest of my UGAZ long at $3.03 from Monday's $2.51 entry (noted in this blog post ) to lock in the rest of the win. I may very well revisit the long natty trade again this week....

A Look at Tesla Motors Before Earnings
TSLA is set to report earnings today after the closing bell. We know the marquee issue had shown signs of being a rare "super stock" in 2013, before a long corrective period ensued. While I believe that the singular event of an earnings report itself can often trump the technicals of a given chart, it is peculiar to see the stock sitting at...

Energy Charts Shaping Up in Winter
That $81 level on the XLE, sector ETF for energy stocks, continues to assert itself. While is may seem quaint, you can see for yourself on the weekly chart, below, how critical that level has been for many years now, with the horizontal light blue line. And after breaking down below it during the recent swoon, buyers are having a difficult...

The Berkshire Blizzard Likely to Take a Pause
Berkshire Hathaway, a top component in the XLF sector ETF for the financials, has hit its multi-year measured move, seen on the monthly chart, below. If you have been following my work for a while now, then you know that back in the summer 2010 I was a wild bull on Berkshire based on that highlighted symmetrical triangle on the monthly chart,...
