E Market Briefing For Tuesday, Nov. 14
The market on Monday was fairly dull; recovering as outlined for the session; but with breadth and other aspects defensive. It’s on-hold just ahead of a decision on taxes mostly; with all the other buzzards sort of out there circling. Risk remains at a high level. Daily action – primarily saw a few Dow stocks […]
Can Retail Play “Base”?
Vintage is everywhere. Look at a stock like Etsy Inc. ETSY is an online shopping site that specializes in vintage items [among other things]. It reported last week. Sales, earnings per share and revenue were all up. From the nadir in March until the multi-month peak in early November, that stock merits watching this week. […]
Ride The Market Rally With Options
The one thing I was certain would happen over the past 12 months turned out to be the exact opposite. Last November, the newly elected president was committed to stirring up the typical D.C. drama. President-elect Donald Trump had a mission to “drain the swamp.” He promised to be a president who went against the […]
Goldman Discovers Something Odd: Stock Moves Are Increasing Even As Index Moves Are Decreasing
One wouldn’t know it by looking at the moves in equity indexes, but this earnings season has been unusually volatile for stocks, which however has yet to translate into bigger moves at the macro level.

In a statement announcing that Qualcomm rejected Broadcom (AVGO), the company said the board decided that the bid “dramatically” undervalues it.

Russell 2000 Turns Net Bearish Despite Intraday Recovery
The index-to-watch for Monday was the Russell 2000 and while it didn’t really excite it did suffer a net bearish turn in technicals. On the positive front, it held on to its 50-day MA for a third day in a row. There may still be enough for bulls to reverse the bearish technicals but there […]
Desperately Seeking 1995
The year 1995 wasn’t exact a good year to remember. There was the Oklahoma City bombing, the San Diego tank rampage, the New Jersey Devils winning the Stanley Cup in a lockout shortened NHL season, and some former Buffalo Bills running back named OJ getting into trouble out in LA. Steve Forbes would announce his […]
S&P De-FAANGed
Last week, a client was curious about the impact of the FAANG stocks (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Alphabet, née Google). These tech high-fliers have seized the conversation in equity markets over the last few years, and rightfully so given their strong performance, huge market caps, and torrid growth. As shown in the chart below, […]
