You would think investors have been acclimated to the new market, since last summer volatility has been king and more recently it’s making a bigger comeback. I wanted to put some thoughts together about the current situation, to try and make some sense of it. I recently heard the professional money managers are […]

The desire to be perfect cost me plenty of money in the early days of my trading career. Why? Because a perfectionist cannot take a loss, so small losses can easily turn into bigger losses for the trader who is not able to admit being wrong. Plus the trader will try to book a profit […]

Notice that in addition to our regular daily charts, we’ve added some longer-term (weekly) charts at the end of today’s thoughts.

The NASDAQ was Friday’s biggest loser (barely) falling by 48.6 points, or -1.95%. For the week the composite lost 64.8 points, or 2.59%…easily the biggest loss of the three major indices. As of right […]

If you think a bearish tide doesn’t sink all - or almost all - ships, you may want to scan through some charts of the major sectors and industries for the last few days. We had to look high and low for anything that wasn’t getting destroyed.
Why fight the trend? Why not just jump on […]

It seems like we always get the question “What does a perfect trade look like?” Unfortunately, there is no specific answer. In fact, there may not even be one single answer. As much as we can try and describe many of the factors that are ideal for a trade, only time and experience can really […]

Dramamine anyone? What a roller coaster ride! Just when it looked like the bulls might get their act together, we go and get a day like Friday. All of the weekly gains were wiped away, and some key technical support lines were breached.
The irony is that what caused the selling - terrible jobs data - […]

The NASDAQ’s close of 2505.0 on Friday was 53.9 points better than Thursday’s close - a 2.2% improvement. For the week though, it still wasn’t enough to pull things out of the red. The composite closed down 39.9 points from the previous week - a loss of 1.57%. Despite the loss though, we like […]

A few days ago we commented on high a colossal number of ‘new lows’ for the NYSE was likely to be a signal that the bottom had already been made. We also discussed how the NASDAQ exchange was basically showing the same data - too many new lows for the selling to persist much longer. […]

Don’t over-react to Friday. Yeah, we know that’s like telling the sun not to rise. However, it was strangely bearish, while only on limited volume. If it was indeed an omen of worse to come, there should be plenty more downside opportunities to take advantage of. If it was instead - as we suspect so […]
