Playing Field Position
Watching the Houston Texans upset the previously-undefeated Cincinnati Bengals last night in a defensive battle, I was reminded of the antiquated notion of "playing field position."

Bright Green on the Dollar Means Dim Commodities
At least for now, the continued strength in the U.S. Dollar is blunting any semblance of upside action in most commodities. For a while now, we have noted with Members that sugar and cocoa were two stalwarts in entire commodity complex. But natural gas and precious metals and miners, along with crude, continue to be disappointing just when it...

Don't Count Out a Hillbilly Thanksgiving, Just Yet
It seems as though the death of Wal-Mart has been greatly exaggerated, with each sell-off by WMT's stock greeted with patronizing I-told-you-so's about how capitalism works, by city slickers. But in reality, all WMT has done is come back down hard to its primary multi-year breakout level from 2011. Headed into the end of November, on a monthly...

A Strong Attempt to Get Back Into Power
In the face of bad news, stocks are snapping back hard this afternoon. The morning weakness in several key parts of the market is abating, for now, as the volatility index is getting decimated. For perspective, the Russell 2000 Index ETF, below on the updated 30-minute chart, are still well below their breakdown level from last week, with the...

Keep Tabs on These Argentinian Delicacies
Both BFR and GGAL, two South American banks headquartered in Argentina, have been acting better, technically, than many large U.S. banks of late. On the daily chart of BFR, below, for example, note the tight basing pattern over all major moving averages. GGAL has a similar chart, as well. Both BFR and GGAL report earnings this Wednesday,...

A Double Whammy
If rates do keep going higher, it would likely only add credence to the idea that retail plays with REIT exposure, such as Dillard's, have broken trend for a meaningful period of time. One of our Members pointed out the DDS shellacking earlier this morning, magnifying the continued weakness in many consumer-related areas. But the REIT...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas
With France headlining the news, unfortunately in this context, and in everyone's thoughts, let us therefore shed light on a terrific French film for some silver lining. An excellent World War II/Holocaust film that does not get nearly the credit it deserves is the Louis Malle-directed masterpiece, Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987). Gritty and...

You Want it to Be One Way
Luck, by definition, is streaky. The streaks, even outliers, at times can seem like the norm. But just as in most forms of gambling it is the very acceptance of the new paradigm which actually leads most speculators to ruin when the smoke-and-mirrors is lifted and markets change again, as they inevitably do.
