Assessing the Last Gasp of Winter
After the recent daylight savings time change, you get the feeling that Old Man Winter is close to his last breath. And when we look at the market, the issue is whether today is the last gasp of dip-buyers bulls before a deeper market pullback ensues or instead if they will simply repeat history and shoot us much higher, yet again. At any...

Taking a Stab at the Dow; Chess Moves
I went long SDOW at $19.22 with a tight stop below $19. SDOW Is the ultra-bearish Dow ETF. This position is potentially a day-trade for me, depending on how it plays out in the final 60-90 minutes of the session. The theory behind the trade can be seen, below, on the DIA (Dow ETF) hourly timeframe. Note that today's AAPL/DIA rally took the...

At the same time, the Nasdaq is lagging, even with AAPL's weighting, due to weakness in the likes of NFLX and TSLA, and benign action in PCLN. Thus, we have a bit of a confrontation on our hands, as...

Swapping One Bear for the Next; Chess Moves
With energy stocks rallying and outperforming today, potentially putting in lower swing highs across the board, I elected to step aside and sold my ERY long (triple-bearish ETF for energy stocks) just below $21 from the $20.37 entry I noted here for a win.

A Loose Aggressive Chart; Chess Moves
Into this move lower this morning, I covered half of my LVS short entered on Friday in this blog post , at $53.76 from the $55.34 entry to scale partial gains. I moved my cover-stop down to my entry price. LVS could easily just be getting started to the downside. But until we see more confirmation of a broad market correction I am going to...
