Pressing the Eject Button Into the Bell; Chess Moves
I decided to sell my RUSS long for break-even into the close. I am not looking to take overnight risk without much profit cushion there, especially with the headline risks associated with Russia. I may, however, revisit the position tomorrow. I am back to being long solely NUGT, a final piece of a winning position. Ideally, for me, gold miners...

Reversal of Fortune
The market reversed higher abruptly this afternoon, after drifting in the red for much of the day. Shorting U.S. equites remains a tricky endeavor--You can see how quick I was to trade around my shorts in recent weeks, closing them out late-Friday. As it stands now, we have NFLX earnings after the bell this evening, and the ECB on Thursday....

Hitting Russia Right in the Goldeneye; Chess Moves
With oil remaining weak and vulnerable to washing out again, I went short Russia as a proxy. Specifically, I went long RUSS (the triple- short Russia ETF) at $24.60 for a potential day-trade , may swing overnight. My protective stop-loss is below $23, though I may cut it sooner if it goes against me. This trade is roughly 4% of my trading...

Don't Miss the Train at These Two Stations
First and foremost, I still see plenty of "holding and hoping" from crude oil longs, despite another gap down today. While shorting crude down here is a tough trade, I am not so sure we have seen that true sentiment shift toward fear, panic, then apathy, which we typically see at a bottom. Thus, I continue to remain flat in the crude oil...

Gold Bears Playing Hide-and-Go-Seek
The easiest conclusion to draw with this morning's gap up across the board in the precious metals and miners complex is to note how overbought they are in the short-term. Indeed, observing the gold ETF daily chart, below, we can see that price has been "riding along" the upper Bollinger Band in recent sessions, and is now gapping free and clear...

Locking in More of a Big Win; Chess Moves
I sold another half of my NUGT long @ $20.37 from $16.88 entry noted in this blog post . I also previously scaled gains at $18.96 in this post . I am down to a small "runner" in the position now, willing to let it ride in case gold miners continue to go crazy to the upside. I raised my stop-loss up to $18. Overall, the precious metals and...

Monday Night View of Oil
I present the current chart for crude oil, stretching back several weeks. You can plainly see the steep decline, followed by recent bounce attempts. First and foremost, the highlighted yellow area shows what could be a potential inverse head and shoulders bottom, with $49.70 being an initial area above to clear in order to sustain a meatier...

Sunday Matinee at Market Chess Cinemas
A Prophet (2009) [“Un prophète” (original title)] is a terrific thriller about a young Arab man sent to a Corsican prison, where he must deal with the ruling mafia. I have recommended this one before. But believe it is worth another post, given how few people have seen it. The film is able to attain a certain depth to the characters and plot...
