You Bust the Joint Out; Ya Light a Match

It sure has seemed like burger joints HABT and SHAK have been partially run by Big Pauly , what with their seemingly endless destruction of capital for the last 18-24 months at odds with creating shareholder value. Their respective weekly charts, below, illustrate as much. Simply put, the market has declared HABT and SHAK to be clear losers...

Add This Wedge to Your Spreads

On the back of the crude oil weakness today, note that high yield corporate and junk bonds have recently been showing some cracks in the foundation. If you doubt there is at least some correlation between HYG JNK and equities, note the JNK ETF weekly chart, below, which shows us that junk and stocks both bottomed in February of this year right...

Biding Your Time

To be sure, the pace of the market action in equities continue to astound in terms of how lethargic and indecisive it truly is. Patience and resisting the urge to put on too many wagers is an underrated aspect about nearly all forms of speculation. But it surely applies to the current market, perhaps into Election Day or at least FOMC on...

Just Think of it as Turbulence in the Skies

It is often said that an airplane experiencing even rough turbulence is barely noticeable from an outside observer looking at the plane objectively, as opposed to being onboard and feeling as though the plane is on the cusp of losing control. In reality, the plane is not dropping or moving around nearly as much as it seems. The same might be...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

Goliath (2016), a legal drama web series by Amazon Studios, premiered earlier this month for its inaugural season. Much like a few other new streaming series we have recommended of late, one season does not a brilliant series make. However, the show is off to an excellent start with its entertaining, gripping first season. Billy Bob...

The Spookiest Chart of Them All

I suppose I could throw up a chart of VRX, some of the biotechs, CMG UA, or perhaps some macro indicator with a small sample size of why equities are in trouble. But, in reality, the election, equities, macro data, and many other news headlines may be masking the biggest issue of them all, one we have been slowly tracking for a good while...

Punt Team on the Field

After a GDP beat this morning, stocks are bouncing back from yesterday's selling. Small caps are higher by a but more than a third of one percent as I write this, enough to stave off an imminent wipeout but not enough to reverse the recent breakdown below $120 support on the IWM ETF. Nasdaq stocks are largely trying to shrug off the AMZN...
