Nike: Just Poster Child It

Headed down the home stretch of 2015, a likely popular topic will now be whether fund managers chase up winners into the holidays while leaving underperforming stocks and sectors by the side of the road. Nike may very well be the poster child for this issue, and undisputed winner for years on end now. I have argued that the long-term chart has...

Floating Along for Now

While much of the focus today is on the Square IPO, with SQ flat as a pancake after an opening move higher, and the KBIO drama we looked at in my last blog post, the high yield corporate and junk bond markets continue to flash disturbing signs of weakness. On the updated HYG daily chart, below, high yield corporates could easily be headed for...

Adult Swim Versus the Triple Lindy

With little biotech KBIO up roughly 400% today in a massive squeeze of one now-infamous short-seller in particular, it is worth reiterating that I am not a fan of short-selling without specific distinctions and elements met before even considering the trade. In this day and age of social media and taking things out of context, to throw...

Captivating Storylines Across Commodities

Gold and especially silver are finally showing signs of life this morning, with silver at least not afraid of its own shadow for the moment. I took down an overnight win in JNUG (triple-long ETF for junior hold miners) inside Market Chess Subscription Services, but may very well seek to reenter to complex on the long side later today if the...

Work Through the Maze

After the FOMC Minutes, the Dollar is holding relatively firm while stocks continue to rally. Many commodities are also reversing higher, namely gold miners, while bonds bounce, too. On the daily chart for the junior gold miner ETF, below, note the textbook "hammer" reversal candlestick printing off an ugly morning session. This reversal is...

Strolling in for the Main Event

In front of the Fed Minutes being released later today, stocks continue to bounce. For larger perspective, consider the IWM, ETF for the small caps, on the 30-minute timeframe, below. Either the head and shoulders top (outlined at top of chart) we tracked last week (on this timeframe only) will continue to be the controlling pattern, or the...

Inside the High Beta Elevator Down

GoPro has, perhaps, accounted for more retail traders' losses among the high beta momentum names over the last full year than any other stock in the market. Not long ago, we looked at the GPRO chart and surmised that once the IPO lows were breached, we were operating in an area with no prior price memory and therefore there was no telling how...
