How To Spot The Next Move
A discussion on some key levels to watch in the coming days. Where will the market go next? Video Length: 00:06:59
E AMC Networks: Sell-Off Presents Opportunity
We have closely been following AMC Networks (AMCX) for some time. The stock has suffered over the last 52-weeks, and is currently down 25.1% from the highest levels seen during the period: Source: Yahoo Finance In this column, we check back in on the company to help determine if there is a possible turnaround in […]
This Means War
Thursday went swimmingly. Just about the last thing the market needed as everyone tries to figure out whether there is or there isn’t a Powell “put” was for Trump to do something rash, but no sooner had Jay put the finishing touches on a half-decent performance on Capitol Hill than a “very stable genius” started a trade war. […]
Using Cash Secured Puts To Pick Up Stock For Less
Getting paid while you wait, I like the sound of that. A cash secured put is a conservative options strategy that can be used to purchase a stock for lower than the current price. Let’s say you’re happy to buy AAPL at $173. You’re definitely going to be happy to buy it at $165. Let’s […]
Stocks Slammed Into Red For 2018: Powell Plunge, Dudley Dump, Or Trump Turmoil?
Gluskin Sheff’s David Rosenberg summed it all up nicely…“Hmmm. Let’s see. Tariffs. Sharp bond selloff. Weak dollar policy. Massive twin deficits. New Fed Chairman. Cyclical inflationary pressures. Overvalued stock markets. Heightened volatility. Sounds eerily familiar (from someone who started his career on October 19th, 1987!).” h/t Doug Kass Only The Nasdaq remains green for 2018… […]
Bulls Retreat – Thursday, March 1
With continued volatility in the market, individual investors are increasingly becoming leery of equities without turning outright bearish. In the latest weekly survey of investor sentiment from AAII, bullish sentiment dropped from 44.65% down to 37.28%. That’s the second lowest weekly reading of the year behind only the 37.03% level we saw right at the […]
AUS/USD Slumps After News On China Housing Loan
China’s Citic Bank has halted new consumer loans in Beijing for individuals pledging their property as collateral, Bloomberg reported by quoting the people familiar with the matter. Citic Bank decided to halt the consumer loans for its own internal business reasons, rather than under prompting from Chinese regulators, according to the people. This is important asit may […]
Powell Set To Speak Thursday
Stocks Decline On Wednesday Yesterday, I challenged the market by saying it really wasn’t worried about Powell’s potential hawkishness. I said if stocks were really worried, they would be down more. The market answered the bell on Wednesday by falling at the end of the trading session. The S&P 500 fell 1.11% after being up […]
Mexico’s Oil Industry Continues To Disintegrate: Pemex Suffers $18 Billion Loss
The situation in Mexico’s oil industry continues to rapidly disintegrate as falling oil production and rising costs resulted in an $18 billion fourth-quarter loss for the state-run oil company, PEMEX. Part of the reason for the huge financial loss at PEMEX was the fall in the value of the Mexican Peso. While PEMEX’s costs are […]
Regression To Trend: Another Look At Long-Term Market Performance – Thursday, March 1
Quick take: At the end of February the inflation-adjusted S&P 500 index price was 114% above its long-term trend, down from 122% the previous month. About the only certainty in the stock market is that, over the long haul, over performance turns into underperformance and vice versa. Is there a pattern to this movement? Let’s apply […]
