Martha Regaining Street Cred
After basing out for several years following a swoon, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. is showing some serious sign of late in the last few weeks. I had previously been looking for some type of bottom to be scalloped out, but the stock continued to be "dead money" for quite some time, grinding sideways to a halt. However, I was reminded...

Taking in More Green on a Green Holiday; Chess Moves
i just sold another piece of my GOGO long at $21.69 from the $19.93 entry last week. I am taking advantage of more intraday strength in the name, in the face of a red market, since I took initial gains this morning here . I am now down to about 25% size of original position, with my stop-loss raised to my entry price. As for new ideas, I...

Setting Sail on the High Dow Seas
The new short Visa trade I entered in my last blog post is going to be a big one, insofar as it pertains to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Note that Visa is now, by far, the most heavily-weighted Dow component ( click here for source). The theory behind the short trade can be found on the daily chart, below. We can see a well-defined...

Making More Trades; Chess Moves
My short book currently consists of AXP and GOOGL, as I believe both positions are intact for my thesis. And I just added to the short side of my book by going short Visa at $266.44 with a protective cover-stop over $280. This is a 4% portfolio position, and I am playing for the largest Dow Jones Industrial Average component to break down a...

Operation Dinner Out is a GoGo; Chess Moves
I just sold half of my GOGO long here at $21.33 from my $19.93 entry last week noted in real-time in this blog post , in order to scale partial profits. I moved my protective stop-loss up to my entry price, in order to protect the rest of the gains, thus far. The stock is moving nicely, despite broad market weakness this morning and recent...

Winter Light Before the Holiday
A nice broad market rally today in front of the St. Patrick's Day holiday tomorrow leaves bulls feeling pretty confident in another V-shaped really to fresh highs on the major averages. I still am looking to see ore broad-based quality technical setups before I would consider loading up my portfolio with swing longs. But that does not make...

Sidestepping Danger; Chess Moves
I played TSLA on the short side earlier this year for a nice win. But I did so knowing full well the risks involved in playing a momentum darling with a charismatic CEO, not to mention a company with a cult following and a heavily-shorted stock. While that trade worked out, it looks like this one will not. Given today's move higher after CEO...

While the Dollar Lounges Around Today...
Far be it from me to call a top to the impressive U.S. Dollar bull run since last summer. However, with the pause today in the greenback I am stalking a quick long scalp in the gold miners. Specifically, the GDX, ETF for senior gold miners, might be good for a quick long over $18.20, then $18.30. Still, miners have much to prove, and I would...

Into Outer Space
The wildcard for this market continues to be whether we see the multi-year winning biotechnology stocks stage a "blow-off" higher before we see some type of standard correction on the S&P 500 Index. On the IBB, biotech sector ETF, quarterly chart below, note that price is pushing the upper Bollinger Band. In addition, with today's rally the...
