In a Lonely Place
I have spent the better part of this week toiling away at refining the running list of names holding up and acting best in this mixed market, without putting fresh capital to work, just yet. As I noted earlier, despite the chips rallying hard today we have yet to see the rest of the tape become truly excited by the likes of INTC LRCX TXN XLNX. ...

Bittersweet Chips
Despite impressive action in the semiconductor space this morning off LRCX TXN and XLNX all rallying sharply after last evening's earnings reports, not to mention INTC this morning too, the rest of the tape seems a bit too sluggish, all things considering. Specifically, one would think with a critical part of the tech sector like chips...

Big Blue Needs Better Help
Despite an overnight rally led by Dow futures largely on the back of IBM (or "Big Blue," as it is known) earnings, equities are experiencing a notable dip as I write this. In fact, the small caps in the IWM and the S&P 500 Index's ETF, SPY, flipping back to red. Simply put, bulls will need to show they have sufficient conviction to step back...

I Mean Are These Algos Something, or Are These Algos Something
To follow-up on my morning blog post, today's steady selling is taking a good many bulls by surprise as we work through the final hour. My bias is to let some of the stronger charts of late, like VEEV, back-and-fill this week in lieu of my focus being to press for an imminent broad market rollover. However, I am open to the scenario of a...

You Know What They're Looking At? Us
The relief rally since Christmas has been convincing enough to the point where one could easily (and many have) taken shorter-term timeframes and inferred from the price action that a brand new uptrend has already been set in motion. That working thesis may eventually come to fruition. However, until we see actual evidence on the daily...

Masquerading Market
This market has been masquerading as various beasts for a while now, be it the horrifyingly epic December market on the cusp of a 1929-style crash, or the one-way drift we have seen of late on the indices even if the action below the surface remains mixed. To be sure, seeing the indices up again this morning, led by the Dow considerably...

Still Chugging Along
Despite multiple opportunities for the broad market to roll back over from an obvious confluence of potential resistance levels (the 50-day simple moving average on virtually all of the major index charts, retracing up to range from late-last year from which we broke down in December, the big, rough 2,600 level on the S&P 500 Index, etc.), the...

Back to Boring or Back in the Trap?
The indices seem to be plodding along here, with nary a worry about BREXIT developments, U.S. government shutdown, running directly into potentially devastation overhead resistance, nor some initially weak bank earnings. Indeed, the low volatility grind higher is reminiscent much more of a smooth bull market than a sloppy, violent bear--Unless,...
