Bringing Home the Bacon with These Two Ideas
I am skeptical of the market bounce so far, as it has the hallmarks of a temporary relief rally. The Russell 2000 Index closing over 1,190 would change that thesis to be more bullish, though. In the meantime, if the market rally continues I still have my eye on RRGB, one of the better casual dining long setups. On the first daily chart, below,...

Cutting Two Early Losers; Chess Moves
As you might imagine, I do not like the action in both natural gas and the biotechnology sector this morning, relative to the long and short positions I hold in each, respectively. Because my style is to religiously keep losses contained, I cut both positions here. I sold UGAZ in front of the natural gas inventory report at $8.68 from the $9.04...

Late Night Strategy for Thursday
On the long side, BKW is back in contention after Wednesday's stunning outperformance to the bloody market sell-off. On the first daily chart, below, a move back over $35 can trigger a long starter position, especially if the broad market is in bounce-back mode. And on the short side, extended airlines like UAL printed exhaustion candles, seen...

Making More Chess Moves
I closed out the rest of my NUGT long at $13.20, from my $13.09 entry, to avoid turning a winner into a loser. Yesterday, I took off part of the nice win in this blog post . As usual, precious metals and miners are tough to trade, which is why I am so fastidious about staying disciplined with them. I also went long BIS, the ultra-short...

Adding to a Winner; Chess Moves
I added more to my UNP short position, marking it up to a 6% portfolio position now. I added to the short, just now, at $113.72 after my original entry at $118.73 in this blog post . Rails continue to get hit. And the UNP hourly chart, below, is flashing signs of breaking down below a bear pennant pattern (highlighted). I am keeping my...

Swimming with Sharks; Chess Moves
Natural gas has been a tough one to trade for a while now. But I am fortunate to have taken down some big winners in the UGAZ, triple-long natural gas ETF, in many instances over the past year or two due to disciplined trading, technicals, and strict stop-loss adherence. With this in mind, I went long UGAZ at $9.04 with a protective stop-loss...

Steve Wynn Wrapped in Red for the Holidays
WYNN and the major casinos have been perennial short setups I have charted for a while now, though I am still surprised by how violent the move lower has been. On the first daily chart, below, note that WYNN has staged, for all intents and purposes, a mini-crash. The stock is too oversold to short, but not my kind of a long either, and risk...

What're You Doing with That Lawnmower Blade?
It looks more and more like gold bugs aim to kill the potent bear which has been in effect for several years now, as the precious metals and miners are difficult to trust in terms of sustaining rallies. Nonetheless, I still maintain the complex is likely to be bottoming here, with gold bears unable to follow-through lower on recent sell-offs....

Late Night Strategy for Wednesday
If the broad market follows-through higher or acts constructively after Tuesday's upside reversal, then MIDD UTHR are two actionable long trading ideas on further strength. On their respective daily charts, below, note the orderly price consolidations within the context of overall uptrends. Another push towards recent highs makes the threat...
