A Closer Look at Debt
To follow up on the analyst of bonds from last week, you can see that a notable change in character continues to play out. Specifically, gauging the TLT (ETF for Treasuries or bond prices) daily chart, below, dip-buyers failed to defend that 50-day moving average (dark blue line) on the pullback following a rising wedge (light blue line)...

Riding the Momentum du Jour
Momentum traders continue to congregate in the small and mid-cap biotechnology issues, not to mention the internet security stocks. While VDSI is reversing sharply lower off its morning highs, CYBR and FEYE continue to run it up on the shorts. As we have discussed before, a wildcard for the multi-year bull run for biotechs is that they simply...

A Rocky Start for Commodities
As I noted on Friday when I opted for a peaceful long weekend, I decided not to swing my long silver position after considering a long earlier in the day (I sold for a less than 2% loss). In reality, I had no sense that silver would gap down as hard as it did after I sold it. But it is a good reminder that the stock market is like a bus...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas
The Conversation (1974) is one of those great films from the 1970s which is too easily overlooked, given some of the masterpieces which were also released during that time period. This one stars Gene Hackman and John Cazale, and is written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Hackman plays a much more secretive character than his famous...

Opting for a Peaceful Long Holiday Weekend; Chess Moves
After a solid week, with my seminal trade being the big long UGAZ win, I am opting to move back to flat into the long, holiday weekend with Presidents' Day on Monday closing the market for the full session. As such, I sold my USLV long at $24.15 from my earlier $24.49 entry for a small loss, less than 2%. I did not like the fade this afternoon...

Well-Defined Friday Afternoon Trade Ideas
This afternoon I am looking to see if natural gas, on the UNG daily chart ETF first below, can break up and out of the 20-day moving average (orange line). As you can see, it has been "gnawing away" at it. Perhaps I may take another shot at UGAZ today or next week if it does break higher. And crude may be setting up as a short again, off that...

Socially Awkward
Despite the resurgence of top holding LNKD, the SOCL - ETF for social media stocks - looks suspiciously weak here. To be sure, other components have formed a mixed bag. But Facebook, a top three holding in the SOCL ETF, continues to struggle after a well-define rising wedge breakdown, highlighted in light blue on the updated daily chart,...
