The market isn’t giving a lot of clear signals to the upside, but there are actually a handful of names that seem interestingly bullish in spite of the market’s overall bearish behavior. Part of what intrigues me about these setups is the general market action that is...
It’s time to really evaluate overall markets again. Breakouts or collapses seem to be getting into position in broad indexes, and once that first move happens, it could set up everyone else. So, let’s look first at SPY, the S&P 500 ETF that I monitor for our...
The market is always rotating its focus, and my goal is to stay 1 step or 1 day ahead. For now, that may mean staying ahead of the move with a focus on a little move in energy names. Oil has continued to be strong, and that’s an input to all energy-focused...
Is the market starting a new trend? How will earnings impact the potential trend? Is this the end of the concern over inflation? We have questions, and the market is starting to answer! Technology seems to be breaking out to a new bull trend, and...
Happy 4th of July! For those outside the US, I hope you were able to get a bit of a refresh with a day off from the equities markets. With the recent moves in stocks, I wanted to key in on something that is timely for the 4th of July holiday, and that’s oil. ...

Is the tech market’s recent price action a bull indicator or a bear indicator? What about this market is giving me my greatest indication of future expected movement? Is it the semiconductors (a traditionally accepted leader to the market), or is it the lack of...
Interest rates are rising again, and it seems like a good time to figure out the residual effects of this so I can find a profit source. My go-to is of course TLT, the ETF tracking 20-year+ bonds, but that’s more of a signal than an entry point. But it’s important to...
For decades, there has been a question of who has the better product – Pepsi or Coke. And I’m also intrigued in the soda wars, but not necessarily over the taste quality. Personally, I’m more of a coffee guy. But I am very interested in how their...
