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,...

Behavioral Finance and the Role of Psychology
Here is some Saturday morning education, via YouTube. Try to relate the concepts discussed in this video to the markets and trading. Deviating from an absolute belief in the principle of rationality, Professor Shiller elaborates on human failings and foibles. Acknowledging impulses to exploit these weaknesses, he emphasizes the role of...

You See Helicopters Spinning?
A key part of any bullish commodities thesis is likely to hinge on the wildly-extended U.S. Dollar finally pulling back, given the inverse relationship there historically. The Dollar ETF weekly chart closed this week out with a "spinning top" candlestick. I will cover that topic and much more in my Weekend Video Strategy Session this weekend....

Glimmer of Shine in the Cold Winter
The main reason for my new JNUG long can be found on the GDXJ (the straight-up junior gold miner ETF) daily chart, below. Note how the juniors ran higher this week to the upper Bollinger Band, rendering it overbought in the short-term (yellow arrows). But it is the circumstance under which the miners react to that overbought condition which is...

Back in the Miners; Chess Moves
After selling NUGT SLW for wins earlier this week, I just went long JNUG, the triple-long junior gold miner ETF. JNUG is a volatile one, even more than NUGT, for example. Nonetheless, I am impressed with the bears' failure to take down the miners this week after a sharp prior run-up. I am positioning for a secondary leg higher in the precious...

Doubling Up on the Bearish Airline Thesis; Chess Moves
I went short UAL at $65.13 with a protective cover stop-loss above $68. This is roughly 4% of my trading portfolio capital, as I am pressing the bearish airlines bet alongside my current AAL short. On the daily chart, below, note UAL leaning down against well-defined trend support (light blue line). In addition to the long-term overhead supply...
