Rekindling Last Winter's Hunt

It is interesting to see some of the higher beta, even controversial, names with a story of explosive moves, notably from this winter, coiled up at the moment. Issues like AMC GME and OSTK (below on it daily timeframe) all fit the bit, especially as we see red in the likes of ARKK NFLX TSLA to lag a broadly green market. We hinted at this...

Decision Point After a Rainy April

The last few weeks of April have featured plenty of rainy days outside as well as inside when we stare at our screens in the market. Equities have worked through many a sloppy open in recent weeks, including this morning's, despite a legitimate market monster leader like AMZN green after earnings (albeit well off its own highs of the session)....

Let's Call a Meeting

One of the most counterintuitive aspects about speculation is the concept of laying off the action. The very idea of traveling to the casino only to force oneself to not gamble seems absurd--After all, what is the point of going anyway? Well, some days the poker table is full of only tough players and/or your cards are running cold. And some...

One Leader Goes One Way, The Other Leader Goes the Other Way...

With yet another sluggish open in equities, it is fairly clear that the market is acknowledging the gravity of today's lineup: The FOMC later today during the session, AAPL FB earnings after the bell, and then President Biden's address to a joint session of Congress for the first time later this evening. In other words, the market is biding its...

Riding it Out

On the back of a post-earnings 3-4% selloff in TSLA, equities staged a sloppy open off the bell. Indeed, at the time of this writing we still have the senior indices sightly in the red with spotty underlying upside momentum thus far. However, and perhaps of the utmost significance, the small cap stocks in the Russell 2000 Index continue to...

We Are Definitely in Season

I do not reckon I am being overly-dramatic in saying that this week figures to be the most jam-packed combination of micro (earnings) and macroeconomic (the FOMC, Biden's families plans speech, GDP, inflation data) events likely through at least June, if not the entire summer. Tesla earnings get it all rolling this evening, setting the stage...
