Offsetting Stocks

The NFLX earnings selloff, combined with some weakness in JKS and even ZM this week, seems to be more than offset this morning by extreme strength in SNAP after its own earnings. Up a whopping 30% as I write this, the market clearly thinks it has been severely misplacing SNAP in some way, shape or form. And that strength is spilling over into...

Nostalgia is Not Such a Bad Thing

Headed into Netflix earnings tonight, stocks are enjoying a modest relief bounce after yesterday's sharp downside reversal. We will likely be hearing an update from the Pelosi/Mnuchin tag team regarding stimulus deal talks later this afternoon which, of course, is arguably the main focus of the market in the near-term beyond even earnings and...

A Literal Interpretation

Alternate Title: "If Zoom Goes, We All Go" A fairly obvious, bullish cup-and-handle setup on the IGV, software sector ETF, daily chart (highlighted in light blue, below), is on the minds of many bulls right now looking for any positive Stimulus Deal headlines to propel us higher yet for another round of TikTok tutorials on how to make a score...

Muchos Pendejos with the Conchos y Anteros

[Photo above is from a great independent film, by the way, Mexico's El Infierno (2010)] With the COP for CXO deal this morning, the energy patch continues to consolidate while the pickings are awfully cheap for the survivors of a long-term bear market and general disregard by investors for the sector at-large. As we have been discussing both...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

I cannot, in good faith, recommend that you watch Showtime's television series, "Dexter," which ran from 2006 through a downright awful final season into 2013. In fact, the final season was so bad that Showtime recently announced a revival of sorts, with a ten-episode limited return, to essentially try and wipe the bitter taste of one of the...

Value Funds' Doors Closed; Others Opening Up

A headline this week which read , "Value fund manager AJO with $10 billion assets to shut business," was just one in a long line of "value" funds closing down amid this epic market melt-up. Given The Fed's infatuation with disallowing price discovery in the organic sense, and their apparent animus towards savers, it is the tallest of tasks...

Hey Bears, How About a Courtesy Flush?

The aggressive re-pricing of high-flying software play FSLY after lowered guidance, combined with the dimming prospects with an imminent stimulus deal (not to mention lingering issues of, perhaps, a new round of second wave pandemic restrictions) are all weighing on the broad market this morning. Bulls are rebutting the FSLY-pricked-the-bubble...
