Ack and Forth Herbalife Goes
To update a chart I posted on Stocktwits earlier this month, the multi-year timeframe for controversial company (and stock), Herbalife, seen below, is responding quite well to its 2012 prior lows (horizontal light blue line). And just as HLF responded to the the highs and saw swift rejection, despite massively bullish if not giddy sentiment...

Your Sunday Morning View
Brazil-based metals and mining company, VALE, is worthy of a discussion later today in my Weekend Video Strategy Session, based on its chart. In addition to the rallies staged by many commodities and miners late-last week, VALE could be ripe for a tradable rally in the days or even weeks after being badly beaten-down. Earnings are scheduled...

Of all the places in America, the two most basketball-dominated states are Kentucky and Indiana.

Breaking Vegas: The True Story of The MIT Blackjack Team
Here is a very entertaining and educational documentary based on the books by Ben Mezrich that cover the true story of the legendary MIT Blackjack Teams. While cheating is, of course, wrong and a poor strategy in terms of both ethics and being a lousy long-term strategy (crime doesn't pay), the documentary is worthwhile in terms of assessing...

Come Back Next Week for a New Season: Chess Moves
Into the weekend, I am calling a last-minute audible here and moving to 100% cash. Overall, I had a pretty good week, grinding out wins and cutting losers to contain them without no major gaps against my favor. As spring commence, I want a clean slate and an open mind to fresh positions next week. I will update the numbers, but here is the...

In One Photo: The Week That Was for Metals
While far from concrete evidence of a major bottom in place, the precious metals and miners did come fighting out of their coffins this week; especially silver. While the macro cross-currents of the U.S. Dollar, Euro, Fed, etc. could all be attributed as reasons for the rally in the metals and miners, gold bugs are still breathing headed into...

Making Sense of the Battles
Along with equities rising and stealing the headlines, commodities look to be turning in a solid week overall, namely gold and especially silver. Even copper, however, participated in the post-FOMC rally, along with some softs such as corn, coffee, and wheat. At issue is whether any type of commodity trade has legs in the coming weeks, or...

A Proper Level
I sold another piece of NUGT long at $11.29 from my $10.25 entry and am now down to roughly 1/3 position of original size now. I also moved up my stop to my entry. Regarding crude oil, and keying off the USO ETF, first below, I am watching the $16.80 above to see whether black gold can sustain more than just a temporary pop into next week. ...

Mixed Trades; Chess Moves
A winner and a loser here. I sold half of my JO coffee long above $25.20 earlier from my $24.07 to lock in partial gains, trailing my stop to entry on the final half of the position. And I covered my HD short for a loss at $117.66 from my $113.85 for a contained loss. Shorting the steep trends like HD LOW SHW continues to be fruitless. But as...
