Apple Tide Rolling Downhill
The $116 level on Apple was an area I have been observing for a short-term character change to the downside. As you can see on the updated daily chart, below, Apple suffered a "flash crash" variation of its own this morning, with dip-buyers trying to take advantage of the very fast move down. As we head towards the final two hours of trading, I...

The Signs Are Changing
The sharp upside reversal in the precious metals and miners from the drubbing in the futures is quite the development, considering the progress from "losers to winners" that we saw taking place in recent weeks in terms of buyers arriving just when they were previously giving up the ghost. Gold bears were quite vocal last night in the hopes of...

Locking in the Rest of an Energy Winner; Chess Moves
I sold the rest of my ERY long (triple-short energy sector ETF) at $22.21 just now, closing out the final 2% portfolio position it was. I had previously taken partial profits at at $21.66 from my $18.32 entry discussed in this blog post .

Late Night Strategy for Monday
Futures are soft, and there are several reasons I outlined in my Weekend Market Film Session to be cautious. Nonetheless, if the holiday rally ensues I am still eyeing the casual dining space. BLMN has an improving chart, seen on the daily timeframe, below. Also watch KONA for another entry over $25.80, but be aware it trades thinly. And on...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
If you have not seen Europa Europa (1990) then you are doing yourself a disservice. In my view, this is the best Holocaust film ever made. Based on the real-life story of Solomon Perel, a Jew in Nazi Germany who got separated from his family and tried to conceal that he is Jewish while joining the Hitler Youth, we see behind enemy lines of...

Stop Giving Away Your Power as a Person
“Remember that failure is an event, not a person.” -Zig Ziglar If you cannot take losses, and especially numerous small losses, then you cannot trade over the long-run. That is pretty much my philosophy when it comes to the market, as losses are inevitable in the same way that even the best baseball hitters are successful only 30% of the time....

BONT NILE are two laggard retail plays which could easily see more of a bid into Christmas. With Black Friday upon us, both stocks are acting well today. BONT is a beaten-down chart and trying to move up off the "right side" of a long, potential base bottom. And NILE is still potentially bull-flagging under well-defined $37 resistance. Keep an...
