Slippery When Wet Markets
It is only fitting in dead of winter that have markets seemingly skidding on black ice, not easily seen when we open green like this morning but which becomes more apparent once bulls attempt to venture to new highs. Specifically, the small cap stocks in the Russell 2000 Index and crude oil are two notable weak spots today, likely not only...

The Strong Silent Type
You likely do not hear much on social finance or the financial news media about Emerson Electric Company, a St. Louis-based diversified global manufacturing company. But despite year-over-year earnings decline for this quarter, reported this morning, EMR is surging up and out of a tidy daily weekly base, seen below. To extrapolate, this is...

Sometimes it Rains
"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." - Bull Durham (1988) I did not much trading today, instead opting to refine our list of the best performers in a notably sluggish tape. Small caps remain a downside concern, but we know bears have had major issues sustain any type of downside momentum in this market of late. We...

Aftermath of a Super Celebration
After some good action on Friday, we have a sluggish tape on our hands today. One possible reason would be too many market players fighting off some of the aftermath of their Super Bowl parties and celebrations, if not libations. But we saw this type of action last week, too, before Friday's rally. So, with the small caps in the Russell 2000...

Bai Bai Resistance for Baidu
The morning after a "Bai Bai Bai" Super Bowl commercial, above, China internet giant, Baidu, is making some noise for the first time in a while. Specifically, over the last few months BIDU has been rather quiet in comparison to other China internet stocks, such as JD. But as one of the bigger China names in terms of market cap, I was looking to...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
Everyone knows the great English film director Alfred Hitchcock for his Psycho (1960) masterpiece. He has plenty of other fabulous pieces of work in his collection as well. My personal favorite is the thrilling and provocative Rope (1948), in which two men murder one of their supposedly intellectually inferior classmates, and then...

Good Super Bowl, Bad Super Bowl
Following up on recent blog posts, it may depends on your bias, but so far NRG is emerging as a possible Super Bowl winner, given that the big game is being played in Houston's NRG Stadium. Of course, the stock's rally may have literally nothing to do with the extra media attention the firm is receiving, since the chart has been steadily...

Surviving the Backdraft from FireEye
After its latest earnings, well, fire, the market seems to be suggesting that the issues FEYE is facing are limited to that firm on a micro sense, since other cybersecurity plays are some of the best performing this morning. Beyond the DATA FTNT gaps higher, CHKP CYBR PANW PPFT SYMC are just a few HACK holdings acting well. Overall, as we have...
