Seeing the Short Side Line Up Well
I am seeing plenty of shorts setting up, including F GM, and of course major casinos like LVS MGM WYNN. In addition ERY remains at the top of my list. And TZA is on the radar to short the small caps. Simply put, I am still not seeing a good amount of actionable long ideas, beyond a few casual dining plays or mid-cap biotechs. I am flat here,...

GoPro Heading Underwater
One "tell" that momentum in a bull market is running low is when we see the recent-IPOs begin to lose their luster. Names like LOCO MBLY have been good example of this phenomenon of late, even if DGLY is rallying with headlines. GPRO is another example of a hot recent-IPO which has been soft even as the market made it way back to the highs in...

Someone Has to Win the Fight
Whenever you see a period of price consolidation, or compression, on a chart, it tends to indicate that some type of disagreement is taking place between buyers and sellers. As an example, we may see a series of lower highs, but also higher lows. And thus the disagreement. These disagreements can be of the quiet, mild variety, or they can be...

Good Lieutenants, Bad Lieutenants
There are plenty of good cops out there, and of course a few bad apples like there are in every profession. A good way to avoid dealing with the bad cops? Try not to break the law. Either way, DGLY is hot again today; the police camera maker. On the 30-minute chart, first below, keep an eye out for a move over $19.50 to see if the breakout...

Aftershocks from the Haircut in Oil
A reentry into ERY (triple-short energy sector ETF), which worked well for me last week, is still at the top of my list this morning as far as potential new traders go. On the XLE, energy sector ETF, daily chart, below, note how the recent multi-day bounce off well-defined support is threatening a rollover today. I still suspect many aspiring...

Late Night Strategy for Thursday
In addition to ACHN, let's keep BLUE on watch, seen on the first daily chart below, as one of the better-looking biotechnology technical setups for a long idea over $43. Both ACHN and BLUE have been basing nicely of late within the context of uptrends. And on the short side, I still have my eye on the XLE, energy sector ETF, especially if the...

Don't Be Piggish on the Bounce Plays
The energy sector bounce from oversold conditions in recent sessions has seen the likes of mega cap Exxon Mobil fill an open gap above, pictured on the first daily chart, below. The issue then becomes where we go from here. On the second chart, below, of the daily timeframe of the energy sector ETF, we can see a mild fade off the highs of the...

Flattening Out Into the Bell; Chess Moves
With major Nasdaq component AAPL regaining $116 into the bell, it appears, I elected to cut my starter position in SQQQ (ultra-short ETF of the QQQ) at $28.65 from my $29.23 entry for a loss. The theory behind the trade was that the Nasdaq would pull in more immediately. But even with premier names like AMZN pulling back, the Nazzy held in...

An Internal Battle in Medicine
A major part of the market continues to be the multi-year winning biotechnology sector. On the whole, they have turned in a magnificent performance, quickly rising from each shakeout along the way. Headed into year-end, it is tough to see any meaningful downside in the broad market unless the biotechs themselves put in a reversal lower. A major...
