Cuomo Brings Down The Martin Act On Kennay
Ken Lewis, who drew much of our ire but never merited his own category tag, might have finally left Bank of America, but that’s not enough to get him out of Andrew Cuomo’s crosshairs: Former Bank of America Corp. Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Lewis was sued by New York Attorney General...
Taleb: Every Human Should Short US Treasuries
Avast, Nassim Taleb declares Treasuries to be aboard the failboat, thinking “Well, it’s safer than Europe” won’t bolster things on this side of the pond very long: Feb. 4 (Bloomberg) — Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of “The Black Swan,” said “every single human being” should bet U.S. Treasury bonds will decline,...

Barney Frank, Porker Of The Year. Mmmm, Pork…
I don’t envy anyone tasked with identifying the politician that perpetrates the most pork projects. Sensibly, Citizens Against Government Waste usually puts it to a vote, and the winner of the “Porker of the Year” title is none other than Massachusetts’ own Barney Frank. Some of the achievements on his roster: Frank...
Punxatawney Phil saw his shadow, so we’re expecting six more weeks of winter. And Australia failed to hike their interest rates as expected this morning (theirs, incidentally, is at 3.75%), so we expect the US to not start hiking for quite some time. Well, we expected that anyway, but the...

It's really hard to show the "speed" of stock movements without recording trading in action. I'm guessing that's why most sites don't talk about the speed of a movement very much. For those without trading software (it's a necessity for serious trading), you will have an even harder time getting...

Capital losses aside, I am having a “field day” with this market sell off. It’s one thing for the bears to get all riled up when the market is lifting off. It’s an entirely different animal when this fucker is tanking, 1929 style. I must admit, I lost millions today,...

About my only bright spot today was SGY. But even that turned against me later in the day. My initial position was off the 5-min chart, and I doubled up after a nice pullback on the 10-min. Like I said... it was all for not as price came back down.Stopped...
Quite the crazy day. Started off with a quick 3 strikeouts in IAG, HST and SSRI. Then rebounded with some nice action in AMSC and CMA. It was a bit of a roller coaster and I hope that's not a sign of things to come for the rest of the...
Didn't know what to expect today with OPEX and, well, just being Friday. But I ended up in a really nice trade with BHI. I took my first trade off a break of the 10:40 bar high (nr7) and the next bar was also an nr7 so I ended up...

The PPT score is giving an oversold signal, given the accuracy of the damn thing, I think it makes sense to go long here– even before the jobs report. I am buying Research In Motion Limited (USA) (RIMM: 66.17 0.00%) here, as it sits on the 100 day moving...
There should be a pretty clear direction to where the market is heading, near-term, after the jobs report on Friday. If we take a look at the S&P 500, we are sitting right above the 100 day moving average, but below the 50 day. The bears are licking the chops right...
I am seeing a bunch of bearish setups taking place in the market, but I am also seeing signs of life. The market needs some follow through in order to keep stocks from falling off a clip here, names like Google Inc. (GOOG: 526.778 0.00%) & Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN:...
I bought Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS: 15.37 0.00%) here @ 16.55, with a stop right below the 50 day moving average @ 16.40. Casinos had a great day yesterday, and I like the pullback, I’m in for a trade....

Breadth Update, Special Delivery

Breadth Suggests Lower Prices…
My take is that closing at the bottom of the box, with several days of no bounce, little buy strength, and a new closing low, means that we will probably get more downside. I’m targeting 1030-1050, on the contingency that we close below 1080. That said, this will be the third...
Yesterday’s poor breadth reading is catching up with stocks, as the S&P revisits the day’s low, additionally, leaders viz., Apple Inc. (AAPL: 192.05 0.00%) and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS: 150.68 0.00%) (among many other notables) are showing considerable weakness after this mornings surge. This combined with us still...
Platinum: Gold’s Fat Cousin, or Sexy Sister?
Last year I did the unthinkable and combined technical analysis with “fundamentals” to back a trade that ended up working out pretty well. The trade was long bullion. Here was my methodology, which involved little in the way of “homework” and more in the way of speed mortaring and pestleling on...
Today there was sell strength of 352, which indicates strong distribution. We moved exactly to the end of the box after solidly breaking the prior days lows, and closed exactly on 1115 support (box low). Tomorrow, I expect a bounce, due to a possible capitulation reading (see next chart). It...

Why Big Government Doesn't Work

Breakout in Non Ferrous Metals

What We Can Learn From Extreme NYSE TICK Readings
Through 13:00 CT, I calculated the number of NYSE TICK readings that exceeded +800 and the number that were lower than -800.For 800 stocks to uptick or downtick simultaneously, we need to see buy or sell programs executing. The total number of +800 or -800 readings thus gives us...
