Exxon, Risk On!
Exxon earnings this morning look to have lit a fuse (a much less damaging one than the Standard Oil fire in 1900 in my original hometown of Bayonne, New Jersey, pictured above) under the entire oil sector, with big XOM up more than 6% as I write this. For a while now, we have focused our long watchlist ideas with Members on energy and some...

A Trashy Rally
The absolute worst sectors and stocks in recent moths are leading this morning bounce, with the likes of ARKK, HOOD, biotechs, and software all soundly outpacing just about everything else. When I moved to 100% cash in my trading account last Friday, I suspected we could bounce from oversold levels in the trashiest parts of the tape, albeit...

A Break in the Battle
For the first time in the good while I find my trading account back in 100% cash, as the lack of resolution this week among countless reversals both overnight and during the session render this market uniquely treacherous. Simply put, the lack of conviction by both bulls, for a relief rally, and by bears, to force the issue with another leg...

Dollar Doing The Fed's Dirty Work for Now
Seeing as The Fed has not actually tightened yet, the U.S. Dollar surging of late is arguably a situation where it is doing the heavy lifting for The Fed. There have been rumblings of this sort of mechanism in markets for a while now, where central bankers need only talk about the idea of tightening rather than actually tighten. But this...

Allow Me to Sober Up This Drunk Market
It is worth reiterating that violent price swings, wild indecision, overnight and intraday reversals, are all part and parcel of a corrective or even bear market. They are not the exception but, instead, the rule. And are to be expected. TSLA, for example, is now down 7% as I write this after having sold off last night, then went green, etc.....

Biding Time Before The Fed
A dramatic upside reversal in shares of Microsoft last evening during their guidance seems to have spawned a squeeze higher in the broad market spilling over into this morning's price action. As noted here and with Members, I took off the reminder of my swing shorts earlier this week and, beyond a few inter-market plays, have mostly been...

Looking for Mr. Goodbar...And Daddy Powell
I do not profess to have a crystal ball, nor all the answers. But I do have an opinion about the changing market regime. Headed into the FOMC tomorrow afternoon, stocks recovered from sharp losses for the second session in a row as we work through the final hour. It is often said that bull markets climb a wall of worry, so to speak, while bear...
