Days like yesterday can make your week or month as NFLX calls provided some HUGE returns. The market sold off at the open, only to rally mid-day, and fall again end of day. Figured with all the intervention from world banks, we would see a nice ramp up. Time will tell.
Todays highly anticipated jobs reports disappointed as folks were expecting 100,000 and we got 80,000. Unemployment rate stayed… Read More
We have written about NetFlix (NFLX) quite a few times over the past year, and have shared our somewhat bullish outlook. This stock has had an epic fall from grace that all other growth stories will be compared to going forward. The question to ask is if the growth story is over or are we in Chapter 3 of a novel? Time will tell as this NetFlix story is filled… Read More
It is starting to feel like the melt higher is beginning. Some of the growth stocks and sector leaders saw some nice moves on an otherwise flat day, meaning big money is starting to chase the performance that is coming. Could be wrong, but getting ahead of the move may be a nice way to play things.
Earnings season starts monday, so maybe a somewhat quiet week. Today we… Read More
I have written countless times about the intervention in this market. How a retail trader can become brainwashed by the headline news, only to be blindsided by the 2-3%+ market squeeze ignited from some more can kicking by the powers that be.
One only need to look back to November 2011, to see the last time a floor was put into equities via the World Central Banks. This… Read More
How does that saying go? When it smells like shit, looks like shit, tastes like shit, and came out of an a^^hole… it probably is shit… right? Well yeah. So lets apply those adjectives to the world economy: little to no growth in developed economies, huge debt issues in europe, a slowing china economy, a U.S. fiscal cliff, along with political unrest and change in some of the emerging countries.… Read More
Futures are green and the Vix is red here with 45 minutes to go to to open. We knew about the possible Moodys downgrade for months now, so to think it was one of the causes for the large sell off yesterday is interesting. Either way, yesterdays action seemed different then any of the sell-offs in may. Still somewhat a short term bull, but starting to question that sentiment. (SUBSCRIBERS ONLY) Read More
Yesterday was a volatile day, with big swings after the fed decision to extend Operation Twist until the end of the year. Figured the USD would get weaker, but it had held its ground, causing a sell off in Silver, Gold, and exacerbating the sell off in OIL. The VIX was down big even on the high volatility, meaning FEAR is leaving the market.
The fact that we are holding… Read More
Futures have been slightly green to flat pre-market. The currency market has been the ‘tell’ as of late, with risk currencies leading the charge.

Did the title to this blog post get your attention? I hope it did. Fear is a powerful emotion that can cause irrational decisions by typically normal folks.
Fear is a distressing negative sensation induced by a perceived threat. It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific stimulus, such as pain or the threat of danger.
The market in May… Read More
Hopefully as the ‘sheep’ retail traders/investors were changing the channel from CNBC during the last two weeks market ramp, they came upon a classic Seinfeld episode entitled “the Bizzaro Jerry”, where everything was the polar opposite… Up was down, right was left, and wrong was right. We wrote many times over the past week about the impending short-term bull market. How folks would be forced into equities, and… Read More
