It’s Been Years Since A Meaningful Crossover
As we gasp and wheeze toward the end of the quarter (well, at least that’s what I’ve been doing, having been sick it seems most of the year!) I thought we’d take a moment to look at a very simple thing. That is, the moving averages (without anything else) of the S&P 500 cash index. […]
Low Tech
So Wednesday was all about Tesla and Amazon, with the former plunging on concerns about fatal accidents that are maybe/maybe not related to Elon Musk’s Autopilot/auto lawsuit feature and the latter falling on jitters about whether Donald Trump is going to get sick enough of the Washington Post to take it out on Jeff Bezos.

The US Dollar Rebound That No One Is Talking About
Chris Temple joins me to focus on the rebound in the USD. Looking like a potential short term triple bottom it is not out of the question to see the dollar continue to move higher. This goes in the face of the long Euro, short USD trade that has been in play since early last […]
What I Am Looking At While Waiting For A Major Breakout In Precious Metals (Or For Godot*…)
In my opinion, there is a good chance that precious metals will finally break above the latest cyclical tops established in July / August 2016.
