A Sunday Morning Sight to Ponder
I present the daily charts for recent-IPOs GPRO and BABA, respectively below, to illustrate how similar they look. Specifically, BABA looks just like GPRO did before a sharp breakdown in mid-December. Note the comparable descending triangles I have highlighted on each chart, with a series of lower swing highs (resistance, upper light blue...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
Odds Against Tomorrow (1959), starring Harry Belafonte, with Robert Ryan, Shelley Winters, Ed Begley, Gloria Grahame, is a rough and tumble film noir with sharp edges and stylish moments. Directed by Robert Wise, I consider this one of the best films that many have not seen, even those well-versed in the classics from the 1940s and 1950s....

In with the New
The first trading session of 2015 started off with a bang, in the form of an opening pop from strong overnight futures. However, that bang turned into a fade, as many notable stocks suffered weakness and/or choppy action throughout the session. I put on a few shorts (GOOG LOW) and am long a silver miner (SLW), feeling out some potential big...

We All Have it Coming, Kid; Chess Moves
I went short LOW, as per my earlier post today, at $67.65. The position is roughly 4% of trading capital, with a protective stop-loss above $69.70 (recent highs). LOW looks ripe to finish out this week with a week chart "shooting star" bearish reversal candlestick after prior steep uptrend, seen below on the weekly timeframe. My risk is...

Going Short a Premier Name; Chess Moves
With today's weakness, I am picking on one of the premier issues in the Nasdaq and the entire market--Google. I went short GOOG at $524.41, playing for a breakdown to fresh 52-week lows. The position is roughly 4% of my trading capital, with a protective stop-loss above $540. In order for the short to work well, GOOG likely needs to lose $523,...

Still Looking for the Duck of Death at Lowe's
It has been an incredible multi-year bull run for housing retail stocks, namely HD LOW SHW. Nonetheless, I still believe the likes of LOW (despite Gene Hackman, target="_blank">voice-over commercials ) is setting up as a short with meaningful downside in early-2105. Earnings for LOW are not until late-February, and the stock is...

Be a Leader; Chess Moves
I went long SLW, premier silver miner Silver Wheaton, at $20.69 just now, placing 4% of my trading portfolio capital in the name. My protective stop-loss is set below $19.80. I am impressed with the upside reversals in the precious metals and miners this morning, while equities in general have reversed lower. Metals and miners have been sloppy...

Starting the Year with Clarity
I am opening 2015 with a clean slate, having cut my trading positions last week for either small losses, small wins, or essentially scratch. This morning, we are looking at a gap higher which is fading a bit. AAPL is a drag on the Nasdaq, while recent breakouts like LOCK are under pressure. TSLA also looks to be rolling over here, while...
