Two Firms Getting Their Lunches Eaten
Ford, upstaged by GM, and United Airlines, upstaged by Delta and others, both look like actionable short ideas into weakness, as seen on their respective daily charts, updated below. UAL looks like a head and shoulders top brewing, while Ford is breaking down from a bear flag, today. Overall, the market is still hinging on the runaway melt-up...

Summer Break or Summer Breakdown
Equities are exuberant this morning off a slightly cool CPI print, namely the small caps, Nasdaq, and rate-sensitive sectors. We still have the FOMC at 2pm EST, followed by a Powell press conference, which makes this rally all the more euphoric given the total lack of respect for any risk which may present itself later today. Still, bulls...

It Ain't Just the Regional Banks
Not only are the regional banks, housed in the KRE sector ETF, a lingering issue conveniently ignored by equity and credit bulls alike, but now we have the larger banks weakening alongside them. Yesterday we saw the KRE act poorly at prior support and largely unnoticed as NVDA, the FOMC, oil, and other topics grabbed headlines. Today we have...

Literal Diamonds in the Rough
Shares of Diamond Offshore are popping by more than 9% as I write this on the back of a buyout offer from Noble Energy this morning. Both firms are offshore rig contractors, with NE bigger than DO. Interestingly, shares of NE are higher, too, which is not the typical arbitrage play in mergers & acquisitions--The acquiring firm usually gets...

Everything Works in Cycles
I recently read an article which noted that Automats are on the verge of a comeback in New York City. It would not surprise me to see laundromats pop up in more volume, too, as washer/dryer units in homes and apartments inevitably break from old age, wear and tear, and during times of inflation coupled with potentially slowing economic...

I. Was. Front-Running!
In many respects this particular stock market has turned into one, massive, front-running machine. While I understand many will counter that equities have always been a discounting mechanism, which I tend to largely agree with, this regime has featured a nonstop effort to price in any and all bullish outcomes to the extreme max. Not only have...

Tough to Make This Connection
You may be surprised to learn that the IWM, ETF for the small cap-led Russell 2000 Index, is currently trading at levels it traded at back in December 2020. For all of the talk about the epic NVDA bull run, the Magnificent 7 names, as well as the likes of COST building a kind of Tower of Babel off the charts into the sky being equated with...

We Salute the Sector, Not the Stock
The NVIDIA-versus-the-world dynamic seems like it is even more at play today, to kick off the new month. Specifically, as I write this shares of NVDA are higher by 3% while the semiconductor index in the SOX is down by more than 1%. The Dow is down by about 400 points amid a plethora of broad market reversals lower from the open, when it seems...
