Be Careful What You Wish For
It is not so much that the market rallied hard yesterday and today after last week's drama and a weekend full of Credit Suisse fears so much as it is the promise and allure of the future being more friendly to bulls. Specifically, mounting pressure on The Fed to back off an intensely hawkish hiking regiment coupled with sharp language about...

You'd Better Be Street Smart with Where We're Going
After being among the very best performers for commodity names off the March 2020, a bonafide and elusive ten bagger, copper miner Freeport-McMoran since suffered a 50% haircut--You can see as much on the FCX monthly chart, below. Currently Freeport is rallying sharply this week with most commodity names. That said, the big picture is that as...

This Year's Fall Classic Will Be Double Bottom Callers
When I made the decision to take off over 90% of my bearish bets last Wednesday with Members, I did so with full knowledge that I may be leaving some gains on the table. However, after undercutting the June lows we have the S&P 500 rallying back above them today, as we speak. This is happening in the face of a steep selloff in TSLA, a red...

Fighting the Demons
While the Bank of England's actions yesterday morning are not repetitive of 2008, per se, in terms of Bear Stearns, then Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, followed by the great fall of Lehman Bothers, it does indeed rhyme with 2008. In other words, my view is that we are not only headed into a deep, consumer-led recession with corporate profits...

Smoke Break: Locked in Hard-Fought Gains
As much as I love a good fight I am not in the mood to disrespect the market's upside reaction to the negative AAPL news overnight and then, of course, the Bank of England QE news this morning. Given the market finally responded more forcefully to oversold conditions than recent sessions, and especially in the face of bad news, I am taking...

Covered Some Apple But We're Not Out of the Woods
I took advantage of the AAPL news overnight about plunging demand to trim part of a short position I have held with Members since a $165 entry. However, the larger point for me is that the Bank of England's action this morning smacks of desperation and genuine panic on the part of a major central bank. In my view, we are still in the fairly...

You Sure About That, Chief?
In my usual Morning Prep Video for Members pre-market, we looked at the 30-minute chart of the QQQ, updated below intraday. Into the pre-market spike in the futures both the QQQ and SPY were up against recent resistance dating back to last week (which broke as support). And into the teeth of the opening squeeze higher, TLT was clearly...

The Rally Everyone Sees Coming
While I admit I did take some partial profits in shorts this morning off the opening bell I am reticent to embrace the idea that an imminent, strong rally is materializing. True, you can point to some mildly oversold metrics coupled with elevated put/call ratios. But, as we hav noted with Members, bear markets have different thresholds for...

Lots of Bottom Callers Out There
So let me get this straight--Less than twenty-four hours after a much expected short squeeze rally after the FOMC reverse down hard to multi-month lows we now have a ton of bottom-callers out there this morning saying we are oversold and that sentiment is way too bearish? Recall that, as we noted last week, sentiment analysis in bear markets...

Human Nature Repeats for a Reason
It was not too long ago that market players (newcomers and surprisingly a ton of veterans, too) were proclaiming a new era where "stonks only go up," (sic) mostly due to The Fed, fiscal stimuli, and a plethora of retail participation speculating on easily accessibly apps and platforms taking on tons of risk via margin. Currently, a chunk of...

What if None of it Has Been Priced In?
Back in early 2020, as Coronavirus headlines swirled around the world, U.S. stocks totally ignored them well into February. It became a common trope that it was all priced in, as clearly the market was well aware of the headlines and the spread of Corona to many countries besides China (Italy e.g.). Of course, a few weeks later the market...

You'll Get Over It, Baby
Many moons ago I was sitting at a limit hold 'em poker table at the Harrah's Casino in the French Quarter, down in New Orleans. An elderly, frail man with a trachea voice box was gambling it up and playing every single hand, the hallmark of a reckless long-term losing player in poker. Of course, anything can happen on any given night in poker,...
