Last week was a big shake out and threw a curve to anyone grabbing the dips and phoning in their trade to grab a gain. This is a bit different and requires a different approach. What we are looking at this week is where the money coming from all of this selling is...
This market is still trying to figure out what it wants to be when it grows up but for the time being it is still growing. Blane Markham took the reins today and covered for me while I am on the road and brought us up to speed on the broader market, updated us on last...
We don't want to be counting chickens yet but we are seeing more progress towards an agreement than we have in weeks. The markets seem happy and we are going to be watching the open to see how this plays out. The question is will this be enough to prop up the...

Following up on an RTX trade from last week that pulled in a quick 25%, Blane Markham jumped on a quick chat with me yesterday and talked about the rebound (again) and spotted a great set up. It wasn't in an area that I would expect but this healthcare play exploited...
