Trimming Some Quick Intraday Gains; Chess Moves
I just sold roughly 1/3 of my long UGAZ position at $3.16 from $3.04 entry noted earlier today. I am simply trimming some quick gains intraday, from my earlier purchase noted on the blog. My stop-loss is still below $2.88.

Update from Last Stand Hill
As I have mentioned before, I am looking at this recent weakness in the precious metals and miners to amount to a "last stand" for gold bugs to prevent another leg down in a multi-year bear market. If this is to be a major bottom for metals and miners, then the upside reversal we are witnessing at the moment, after the Fed Minutes, had better...

Blocking Out the Rebound Rally; Chess Moves
I went long ERY at $18.15 with a stop-loss below $17.70, possible day-trade in this triple-short energy sector ETF. This position is roughly 4% of my portfolio. I am betting on energy heavyweights like CVX SLB XOM pulling back in the coming trading sessions, if not today. XOM is in the news just now with reports of a possible explosion at a...

Another Round with Natty; Chess Moves
I went long UGAZ, the triple-long natural gas ETF, at $3.04 with a protective stop-loss below $2.88. This position amounts to roughly 4% of my trading portfolio capital. I may very well simply day-trade this position today, depending on how it acts, with the inventory report tomorrow morning. Keying off the natural gas straight-up ETF, UNG, we...

The I of Hurricane Janet
The market is in a bit of a lull into the late part of this morning's session, with hot names like FEYE finally showing some short-term signs of cooling off. As far as day-trading ideas, GPRO may be ripe on either side of the trade, depending on how the zoomed-out 5-minute chart consolidation (below, in the light blue lines) resolves. I am...

Two Stocks Minding Their Own Business
Amid some mild weakness in the broad market this morning, it is hard not to notice both SKX and PAYC consolidating their recent breakouts quite well. Both stocks are in confirmed uptrends. And if the market continues to cooperate for bulls then SKX above $67.30 and PAYC over $34 should work well. In particular, SKX has reasserted itself as a...

A Notable Spread
This is just a brief afternoon note to bring your attention to the GASL outperforming the likes of BOIL and UGAZ on the natural gas ETF front. Natural gas and crude oil have both reversed higher this afternoon but overall remain in sideways consolidations. For now, they continue to be fast trading vehicles, especially using those levered and...

Ideas to Consider as the Gravy Train Chugs Along
With the S&P 500 Index hitting the big, round, psychological 2100 number this afternoon it is tough to step in front of the indices as they grind higher seemingly in perpetuity. Under the surface, though, we still may have two way trading opportunities. As I noted earlier, small and mid-cap biotechnology issues along with internet security...
