This will be helpful for our universe and the overall market. We hope you enjoy it. ~more~ #041: Tue 11/13/2012 Unfortunately, this market is starting to remind us of 2007 and 2008. How so? ~more~ #040: Fri 11/9/2012 Markets have stablized today after two VERY ugly days. The S&P 500 has lost 6.6% from its high in September. Earlier this year we saw the S&P 500 lose almost 10% in an April to late May correction. The point is simple, we are getting oversold here. ~more~ #039: Thu 11/8/2012 We are on the road in Toronto as we presented yesterday at Bloomberg Chart Day. Clearly, not a fun day to be on the road. We came out of our SPY calls on Tuesday and that worked out perfectly. ~more~ #038: Mon 11/5/2012 We have two open postions currently. This morning Transocean (RIG) reported better earnings and the stock is up over 5%. This is helping our call position in Baker Hughes (BHI) and we think the whole oilfield equipment sector could begin to move. Our second position is in calls on the S&P 500 via SPY. We own December 143 Calls and feel that this should get the benefit of any relief rally off the election results. ~more~ #037: Thu 11/1/2012 We did not jump on this advance today as tomorrow could see a reversal if we have weak job numbers. Instead we will wait to get the numbers and then react. The S&P 500 was up 1.09% today. Impressive start and if we get positive numbers there could be some more upside tomorrow. ~more~ #036: Wed 10/31/2012 Markets have reopened after being closed for several days but there is no direction to the market. Why is our headline $140.91? Read on. ~more~ #035: Mon 10/29/2012 As Hurricane Snady bears down on the Northeast, U.S. markets are closed for trading. We will be back with comments when the markets reopen. It is likely markets will be closed for trading tomorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with those of you in harms way. ~more~ #034: Fri 10/26/2012 "Flow State" refers to be focused when you are skiing at a high level that requires tunnel vision to complete the task at hand. As a skier, I see many parallels to skiing and trading markets. ~more~ #033: Thu 10/25/2012 Today saw stocks fade on a weaker than expected pending home sales report. The market is a mine field. Just after the close Amazon (AMZN) missed as did Apple (AAPL). The point is simple. ~more~ #032: Wed 10/24/2012 Troubling developments have arisen in the markets in the past week. We use our retracement tool to analyze markets. It seems likely there is more downside action ahead. ~more~ #031: Tue 10/23/2012 Back on October 10th, we bought calls on SPY and six days later took a nice 25.70% gain. Today we are in a similar but different setup. We are similar in that the 6 Day RSI is now back below 30. But we have yet to rebound back above 30. We need this to happen if we are going to establish new bullish bets. Back in May, the 6 Day RSI dropped under 30 but took two weeks to move above 30. In the meantime, stocks got hammered. ~more~ #030: Mon 10/22/2012 Last week I was on the road in Chicago Wednesday to Friday seeing some clients and prospects. The week started off in strong fashion rallying into Thursday before Google (GOOG) prematurely released earnings and stocks faded. Friday saw stocks post their worst day since June. Our bullish bet in Baker Hughes was hit by this action and a weaker than expected earnings release. Today stock were weak but did rally the last hour to close with small losses. This action has a bias bent to it. The market has been unable to move higher since peaking on September 14th, one day after QE3 was announced. ~more~ #029: Wed 10/17/2012 We are moving Daily Comments to a slightly new format. We will update each morning key data points due for the day and then throughout the day update comments as necessary. ~more~ #028: Tue 10/16/2012 We are moving Daily Comments to a slightly new format. We will update each morning key data points due for the day and then throughout the day update comments as ncessary. This morning we get two key economic data points at 8:30 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. EDT followed by tonight's Presidential debate. ~more~ #027: Mon 10/15/2012 We are moving Daily Comments to a slightly new format. We will update each morning key data points due for the day and then throughout the day update comments as ncessary. This morning we get one key economic data point at 8:30 and the several geopolitical events of note. ~more~ #026: Wed 10/10/2012 The S&P 500 peaked on Friday and has now sold off for the past four days.The intraday peak on the S&P 500 was 1470.96 and is now at 1432.56 which is a drop of 38.40 points or 2.61%. There have been six such pullbacks since the June low. Everytime the media tries to scare everyone as if it bleeds it leads. ~more~ #025: Tue 10/9/2012 The first lesson to be learned in trading is that there will be losses. We are no exception. We expect to be right 80% of the time but it is how we handle the 20% that are losers on how much money you will make from our recommendations. ~more~ #024: Mon 10/8/2012 Land grabs occur when industrialized nations or corporations acquire farmland in the Third World. These deals—sometimes as leases, sometimes as outright purchases—are usually made with corrupt local officials, at terms exceedingly unfavorable to the local population. The purchasers then grow food on the land, and export it out. ~more~ #023: Fri 10/5/2012 Political turmoil can cripple the production of resources on a national level. This is most obvious in times of war. Of course, we aren’t (yet) at the point where there are large-scale wars over specific resources ex Iraq and Afghanistan over the past ten years. But some sociopolitical analysts are predicting that overt wars for food, water, and other resources will be a growing phenomenon over the next century. ~more~ #022: Thu 10/4/2012 In our most recent publication of our sister publication Gold & Energy Advisor we review the seven reasons why there are HUGE opportunities ahead for our sector and the overall market. Today we look at Reasons 1 & 2. ~more~ #021: Wed 10/3/2012 Unlike many that proclaim to be "in the know", James and I currently view the glass as half full rather than half empty for our sector as well as the equity market as a whole. How can this be when so many "grumpy old men" are proclaiming the end of civilization as we know it? Easily if you follow the age old adage, "...don't fight the Fed". In our most recent publication of our sister publication Gold & Energy Advisor we review the seven reasons why there are HUGE opportunities ahead for our sector and the overall market. ~more~ #020: Mon 10/1/2012 If you saw the headlines, Dow up 135 and S&P 500 up 9 you would be impressed. We are not with today's move. Why? ~more~ #019: Fri 9/28/2012 Next week marks the beginning of the fourth quarter. Traditionally, one of the strongest times for stocks in the year. Will the markets act favorable in the fourth quarter or will threats of the fiscal cliff, European woes, Chinese slowing and a poor earnings outlook doom stocks? ~more~ #018: Wed 9/26/2012 The S&P 500 has had one heck of a move from the June low moving from 1266.74 to a recent high of 1474.51. Currently, the S&P 500 is at 1441.59. This represents a pullback on a closing basis of -1.65%. Along the way to 1475.51 there have been 3 moves that saw a closing basis pullback close to 3%. As long as we stay around 3%, this current environment is simply a case of two steps forward and one step backward. Why do we care about the S&P 500 if we are trading in the energy and commodity markets? Because they set the tone of the overall atmosphere for stocks. ~more~ #017: Tue 9/25/2012 From the time you get a recommendation to execute the trade, there are certain mechanics that should be in place that need to be followed. Why do we mention this today? ~more~ #016: Mon 9/24/2012 We consider ourselves to be rational traders as opposed to "mad" or "crazy" traders. The difference is that we have a defined systematic process as opposed to a "mad" process that reactions to the day to day headlines. As time marches forward, we will continue to expose you to relationships that we follow to guide our trading. This morning we look at GLD vs EPV. ~more~ #015: Tue 9/18/2012 One of the greatest squash players of all time is Victor Niederhoffer. He also happens to be a famous hedge fund manager who worked for George Soros as well as on his own. Although Niederhoffer seems to have trouble every four to five years with risk, his returns have been outsized over time both on the up and downside. Nonetheless, the man is a genius on the squash court and in the markets. He is well worth reading anything he weighs in on and I recommend his book “The Education of A Speculator”. ~more~ #014: Fri 9/14/2012 If you listened to the media pundits, they are now all bulled up. Does this make sense? Come listen to our webinar today and find out our thinking on this subject. ~more~ #013: Thu 9/13/2012 The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) and the weekly natural gas inventory number drove our thinking today. Why? ~more~ #012: Tue 9/11/2012 The German Constitutional Court will rule on the viability of the EU bailout and whether Germany can go along with it tomorrow morning at 4:00 a.m. EDT. Our take? The Court will approve what happened but limit future actions. The question is how stocks react to this result? ~more~ #011: Mon 9/10/2012 Several articles today peak our interest. The first talks about how Chinese growth is slowing. A weaker Chinese economy will slow demand for energy. Second this week is all about Wednesday. Why? ~more~ #010: Fri 9/7/2012 There is no reason to establish new positions on a Friday that will carry into the next week. Why? ~more~ #009: Thu 9/6/2012 This morning Baker Hughes (BHI) gapped open on a market gap. Initially, it began to and then bounced back into the 10:00 a.m. EDT trading hour. We locked our gain in. Why? ~more~ #008: Wed 9/5/2012 Stocks are range bound as investors await ECB game plan tomorrow from its President Mario Draghi. There is news on WFT and BP. ~more~ #007: Tue 8/21/2012 Today was a weird but not atypical trading day. First we went straight up and then straight down on the equity indexes mid morning. Meanwhile, GLD broke out on the open and traded sideways the rest of the day, still gaining more than 1% for the day. ~more~ #006: Mon 8/20/2012 For whatever reason, the market continues to struggle on Monday this summer. Despite that, we were able to establish a new position. Kinder Morgan (KMI) will sell $1.88 billion of assets. S0 M&A activity continues. The head of the IEA noted there is no need to free up the Strategic Petroleum Reserve due to a rise in gas prices. Take note the U.S. needs more refineries. ~more~ #005: Fri 8/17/2012 Markets have not been very liquid as this week we have seen volume 30% below the three month average. Fridays are even worse for liquiqity in the summertime unless it is the first Friday of the month when the employment data is released or the third Friday of the month when options expire like is happening today. ~more~ #004: Thu 8/16/2012 Today we closed out our GLD bullish call spread established on Monday. The trade performed well gaining 39.62%. But why did the trade work? ~more~ #003: Wed 8/15/2012 Many purchases and sales of investment maanagers and hedge funds were updated yesterday and gold was bought via GLD from several notable managers. Today we will also look at a note Goldman put out and how to trade our ideas. ~more~ #002: Tue 8/14/2012 Just came back from a meeting and catching up on the last hour. John Paulson's latest holdings disclosed. Why do we care? The guy has now lost more money than he ever made. The lesson of Paulson CONTROL RISK. ~more~ #001: Mon 8/13/2012 Either James or I will offer up comments on what we are seeing in the gold, materials and energy markets. ~more~ |
