Next Case!
Despite a gap down in the natural gas trade, which I quickly cut out of this morning, it was a good day of trading with the big JNUG win, AAL LOW TSLA V gains on the short side, and a winning UVXY Day-trade long (I did stop out of the final piece at around breakeven after scaling a win initially). Equities, as a whole, suffered more selling...

The Best Nation in the World is Rotation; Chess Moves
First and foremost, I scaled off a piece of my UVXY long at at $29.14 from $28.32 entry earlier today noted here . I trailed up my stop-loss to my entry price. Next, I went long USLV at $22.26. USLV is the triple-long silver ETF. With the big run-up in the gold miners today, especially our juniors in JNUG, I am playing for some rotation...

More Scaling, More Trailing; Chess Moves
For the sake of discipline, I scaled off another small piece of my JNUG long at $42.30 just now, from Friday's $35.59 entry noted here , and prior gains I locked in this morning at $39.33 in this blog post . I now have a small "runner' position left on, just in case the miners go completely bonkers to the upside and shock the world this...

In for a Quickie; Chess Moves
I went long UVXY, the ultra-long volatility ETF, at $28.32 with a protective stop-loss below $27. This position is about 4% of my capital. And I may very well day-trade it before the session is over. Volatility did a good job of digesting its morning gap up without giving much back, seen on the 30-minute chart, below. I am playing for an uptick...

A Tough But Worthwhile Race
Shorting Tesla feels like a race against time, in some respects, as the super stock can explode higher at any moment with its charismatic CEO and cutting edge concept and brand. Still, even super stocks feature sharp corrections along the way, which is precisely what I am playing for at the moment. I have largely avoided shorting Tesla in...

Scale and Trail, Baby. Scale and Trail; Chess Moves
With GDXJ (and JNUG) now quickly hitting it upper daily chart Bollinger Band, I am now up big on my JNUG long in a very short period of time with overbought conditions in play. I still think the junior gold miners can lead the precious complex higher. But discipline is forcing me to scale partial gains here, at $39.33 from Friday's $35.59 entry...

Ride the Winners, Cut the Loser; Chess Moves
On the whole, it is a good morning for my portfolio, with AAL TSLA UAL shorts working nicely to the downside while my JNUG long is moving well upside. However, a sore spot is the performance in natural gas, which stopped me out above $3.60 on the UGAZ ETF for a loss from my $4.07 entry the other day. Natty is a volatile one, and this move down...

Coffee Brewing Season
As we discussed last week, and as I delve into further later today in my Weekend Video Strategy Session, coffee is off to anther strong start. It surged in early-2014, and looking at the seasonality, courtesy of David Stendahl , the stars are aligned for another good move in the first quarter. More on this later today in the video.

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
Your Friends & Neighbors (1998) was writer/director Neil LaBute’s follow-up to his debut hit of In the Company of Men (1997), a tremendous film which I recommended here and periodically reference in my posts. This time around, Aaron Eckhart (who played the legendary Chad Piercewell in LaBute’s debut) plays the pathetic schlub. However,...
