Another Episode in Russia; Chess Moves
In what may turn out to be a day-trade, I went long RUSS here at $11.74 with a protective stop-loss below $11. This position is roughly 4% of my trading portfolio capital. RUSS is the triple-short ETF for Russia. If I do decide to swing it, then it is predicating on the RSX, Russia country ETF, hitting the orange line on the weekly chart,...

All Eyes on the Highs
The Nasdaq Composite Index and biotechnology sector ETF, IBB, are printing fifteen-year and fresh all-time highs this morning, respectively. At this point, new highs on a daily basis is a surprise to very few market players. Still, this type of action is to be respected in terms of either playing along or not yet stepping in front of it. While...

Locking in Some More Natty; Chess Moves
I just sold off another piece of my UGAZ long here at $3.19 from $3.04 entry yesterday to scale more gains after locking some in yesterday as well. I am now down to about 1/3 position size, with a stop-loss still below $2.88.

Scaling Some Fast Gains; Chess Moves
I sold half of my ERY long here at $19.16 from the $18.15 entry I noted yesterday in this blog post . I raised my stop-loss to my entry price for the other half of the position. Crude oil and energy stocks are getting hit this morning, which is obviously helping the triple-short bearish ETF in ERY. They are still in downtrends, which means...

Trimming Some Quick Intraday Gains; Chess Moves
I just sold roughly 1/3 of my long UGAZ position at $3.16 from $3.04 entry noted earlier today. I am simply trimming some quick gains intraday, from my earlier purchase noted on the blog. My stop-loss is still below $2.88.

Update from Last Stand Hill
As I have mentioned before, I am looking at this recent weakness in the precious metals and miners to amount to a "last stand" for gold bugs to prevent another leg down in a multi-year bear market. If this is to be a major bottom for metals and miners, then the upside reversal we are witnessing at the moment, after the Fed Minutes, had better...

Blocking Out the Rebound Rally; Chess Moves
I went long ERY at $18.15 with a stop-loss below $17.70, possible day-trade in this triple-short energy sector ETF. This position is roughly 4% of my portfolio. I am betting on energy heavyweights like CVX SLB XOM pulling back in the coming trading sessions, if not today. XOM is in the news just now with reports of a possible explosion at a...

Another Round with Natty; Chess Moves
I went long UGAZ, the triple-long natural gas ETF, at $3.04 with a protective stop-loss below $2.88. This position amounts to roughly 4% of my trading portfolio capital. I may very well simply day-trade this position today, depending on how it acts, with the inventory report tomorrow morning. Keying off the natural gas straight-up ETF, UNG, we...

The I of Hurricane Janet
The market is in a bit of a lull into the late part of this morning's session, with hot names like FEYE finally showing some short-term signs of cooling off. As far as day-trading ideas, GPRO may be ripe on either side of the trade, depending on how the zoomed-out 5-minute chart consolidation (below, in the light blue lines) resolves. I am...
