Keep it Liquid in a Broken Market
The spreads are still cockeyed out there, and we have a fast market on our hands with signs of being broken. Keep it liquid, in terms of volume trades, with any instrument you trade, especially the ETFs (the levered ones even more than usual). Instead, shorting liquid ETFs is a better play than the inverses, in this environment. As with any...

Fall Into the Fall
The market settled into a bit of a scrum through midday, as the morning fireworks wore off and the Nasdaq and Apple even flipped green. At the moment, I am keying off the small caps in the IWM ETF, see below on the 30-minute chart. We are still below $121.50, a prior key level which was a warning sign when we lost it last week. Currently, the...

Price Ranges and Volatility: I Reckon I'll Have Me Some of the Big 'Uns
The initial bounce off the monstrous morning gap down in the market is being worked off sideways at the moment, seen on an intraday chart of the SPY, below.

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
The great writer/director Federico Fellini’s masterpiece, Amarcord (1973) is easily a top ten all-time film for me. I can still recall being mesmerized the first time I saw this one. As with most classic Italian cinema, the expert blending of tragedy and comedy is unparalleled and, frankly, flawless. The story weaves together several...

Someone is About to Get Conned
Throughout this bull market, the seemingly "easy," slam dunk trade espoused by many has been shoring spikes in volatility, either outright using options to bet against the VIX, or using some of the ETFs associated with the VIX to express a bearish bet on volatility (usually associated with equities snapping back off a fairly shallow pullback). ...
