In these moments we often focus on mental toughness inside Market Chess Subscription Services by 1) Not over-trading and letting the market settle down, and 2) Working through the grind and...

The Mini Ice Age Cometh
With this morning stronger-than-expected jobs report now behind us, we have a bit of an "ice age" for just under two weeks now. Earnings are more or less over with, as far as the big names are concerned, and we have a lull in major economic data/macro events until the CPI and FOMC beginning December 13th. With this in mind, it is critical for...

Don't You Hurt My Precious!
Equities as a whole are dealing with what seems like a daily fade this morning off the open, as the Dow, S&P, Nasdaq, and small caps are all soundly in the red as I write this. True, we do have the jobs report tomorrow morning pre-market which figures to be the last major macro event before the CPI/FOMC on December 13th and 14th, respectively....

Silver's Acting Great and No One Cares Except the Weirdos
It is often said in markets that from failed moves in one direction come aggressive moves the other way. And that goes double for failed moves around signifiant technical junctures. In the case of the sliver metal ETF, updated below on the daily timeframe, we had a horrendous session on Monday bringing out the usual hecklers chanting something...

Parabéns on Your Trip to Brazil
I bet you did not know that Brazil-based Gerdau (GGB, below on its updated daily chart) is the largest producer of long steel in all of the Americas. Despite the political changing winds and turmoil in Brazil, complete with omnipresent risks, GGB has been one of the better acting charts in the entire steel sector for a good while now. Its...

Propeller Plane Trading Session
Probably the worst flight I ever experienced was over twenty years ago on a ninety minute propeller plane ride in Italy from Rome to Florence into the teeth of a rainstorm. Because of the short flight time we of course flew at a lower altitude and thus the plane got bumped around to no end with some (apparent) somersaults to boot. Needless to...

Got Brine on My Mind
Brining, a method used centuries ago to preserve food (mainly meats) from harmful bacteria growth, becomes all the more relevant these days for Thanksgiving not for hygienic reasons but rather as a way to tenderize the tough, lean meat of the bird. Some spices, vinegars, even a little booze, among other goodies, all help to ensure that your...

Price is What You Pay; Value is What You Get
As a protracted bear market continues to unfold you will eventually see the pundits on financial news television pivot (wink, wink) from steadfast bullish predictions into blasting markets for being irrational and thus creating compelling "values" across the board. Let us take two recent earnings reporters this week as example. Zoom Video,...

Putting Out Fires
Saudi Arabia came out and denied the earlier reports of an OPEC supply boost, and now we have crude rallying back to flat on the session after a massive gap down this morning. As we noted on Twitter, the USO ETF (for crude oil itself) had gapped entirely below its lower daily chart Bollinger Band, a rare circumstance indeed which is indicative...

More Drama
News of the Saudis eyeing a surprise production increase in oil is seeing crude dump out again and can probably explain the recent weakness before the news dropped, too. All of this is happening as we still wait for China to fully re-open. As a result, oil stocks in the OIH XLE XOP ETFs are mostly taking it on the chin to kick off the...

Dances with Bullard
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard, not one shy to make headlines, was out and about this morning spouting some rather hawkish monetary rhetoric . The U.S. Dollar caught a solid bid off the news, and we can see the continued inverse correlation between the Dollar and most stocks/most commodities as the latter are...
