Jinx!
Is this it? Could it really be? At the risk of jinxing the constructive price action in the precious metals and mining complex this morning it is worth at least pointing out the group seems galvanized as the U.S. Dollar as come in off recent highs. As we pointed out and are playing on the long side with Members, Newmont Corporation at almost a...

Super Bowl LVI Sports Betting Analysis
Last year around this time we discussed in a video here the reasons why the sharp bet was probably to take the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the spread. The opening line versus the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV was Tampa +3.5 (meaning they were "getting" 3.5 points as the underdog), and then the first move was down to +3. As I discuss...

Shoveling Out from the Selloff
For the time being, which could last as shortly as this afternoon or possibly into next week, Nasdaq bulls have been able to stem the tide of selling thanks to AMZN and the SNAP squeeze. In addition, small caps are stabilizing a bit too alongside software, ARKK, and bios. Interestingly, the market has been able to shrug off the strong jobs...

An Important Message Lurking in the Shadows
Between the FB earnings calamity, not to mention SPOT, plus a broad market gap lower on the back of hawkish comments out of the ECB it can be rather easy to overlook the move higher in rates this morning. After all, I am sure most equities-driven traders probably just assumed that Treasuries would receive a safe haven bid into the teeth of a...

Oil: Where's the Tip-Tip-Tippin' Point?
WTI crude oil currently has an $88/barrel handle as I write this, begging the age-old question of where the precise tipping point is where high oil prices began to have noticeable deleterious effects on the economy to the point were the market simply cannot ignore it. When we saw the oil spike back in Q2 2008, I remember being at an airport in...

Bounces Rolled Up and Smashed
By my work, every single component of the ARKK ETF is in the red as I write this. While that may seem as though I am picking on Ms. Wood, quite the contrary--As recently as yesterday, I was playing one of her beloved holdings on the long side for a quick bounce: DKNG. However, as we noted with Members, the DKNG play was a quick date only, not...

Another Beijing Bears' Ceasefire?
Just a quick afternoon note that the 2008 Olympics were also held in Beijing, China. Those were the summer games, of course, in August (from the 8th to the 24th, to be precise). And coming up this Friday we have the winter games in the prominent, sprawling Chinese city, from the 4th through the 20th. One point to recall is that despite how...

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...
