Making a Move on the Nasdaq; Chess Moves
I placed 4% of my trading portfolio capital into a long SQQQ position, just now, at $29.23. SQQQ is the ultra-short Nasdaq ETF. I am playing for major Nasdaq components, such as AAPL GOOG, among others, to pull back in the coming days, dragging the Nasdaq down with them and their heavy weighings. My protective stop-loss on the trade is if SQQQ...

Duck and Cover from These Two Charts
Although they have been readily dismissed by equites bulls, high yield corporate paper and junk bonds both point towards a decreasing appetite for risk on the horizon. On their respective ETF daily charts, below, you can see that high yield corporates and junk have failed to confirm the rally in equities since October. Beyond that, the threat...

Apple Tide Rolling Downhill
The $116 level on Apple was an area I have been observing for a short-term character change to the downside. As you can see on the updated daily chart, below, Apple suffered a "flash crash" variation of its own this morning, with dip-buyers trying to take advantage of the very fast move down.

Gold bears were quite vocal last night in the hopes of...

I sold the rest of my ERY long (triple-short energy sector ETF) at $22.21 just now, closing out the final 2% portfolio position it was. I had previously taken partial profits at at $21.66 from my $18.32 entry discussed in this blog post .

Late Night Strategy for Monday
Futures are soft, and there are several reasons I outlined in my Weekend Market Film Session to be cautious. Nonetheless, if the holiday rally ensues I am still eyeing the casual dining space. BLMN has an improving chart, seen on the daily timeframe, below. Also watch KONA for another entry over $25.80, but be aware it trades thinly. And on...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
If you have not seen Europa Europa (1990) then you are doing yourself a disservice. In my view, this is the best Holocaust film ever made. Based on the real-life story of Solomon Perel, a Jew in Nazi Germany who got separated from his family and tried to conceal that he is Jewish while joining the Hitler Youth, we see behind enemy lines of...
