Hacking Into These Two Charts with Precision
BlackBerry has been a popular ticker for short-term traders for a while now. And updating the daily chart, first below, we can see that Friday's weakness apparently was a failed move lower. We know that from failed moves in the market often come aggressive moves in the opposite direction. Thus far, we are seeing just that in BBRY, with today's...

Looking to Be an International Harvester of Gains
CORN and WEAT still look to be acting best of all soft commodities. I remain long CORN and would consider adding to it over $27.65. The 30-minute chart of the CORN fund, below, shows a nice consolidating after the breakout two weeks ago. WEAT may very well be bull-flagging here, as well. If there is no upside follow-through, then I may harvest...

A Simple Job Down in Cuba
CUBA has been a good day-trading stock over the past few sessions. We profiled the 20-period moving average on the 5-minute chart last week after the initial political news about Cuba was released.

Trading Vehicles Only or You Can Kiss Your Money Goodbye
The price action in natural gas of late is a good reminder that highly-levered ETFs such s UGAZ (triple-long natty) are designed to be trading vehicles only, rather than buy-and-hold for a retirement account.

Coke's Chart a Messenger of Looming Knockout
After an impressive and steady nearly six-year uptrend, Coca-Cola's stock chart is now displaying classic warning signs of an imminent top. On the daily chart, below, note the loose and sloppy price swings in recent months.

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
I consider L.A. Confidential (1997) to be one of the best films from the 1990's. Based on the James Ellroy novel, and set in steamy, noir-ish 1950s Los Angeles, the film focuses on three main scheming, gritty policemen tracking several murders with some shady connections to the police department. The all-star cast features Kevin Spacey,...
