  • I'm somewhat surprised by the strength that we've seen so far in the market today. Europe appears to be on the verge of implosion, and we're rallying like there's nothing to be worried about (denial? short-covering?). I'm still long on SCO (oil 2x short), and will likely bail on it, if oil can push above

  • The market is showing signs of hitting a new rough patch, particularly with issues in Europe running amuk and unable to resolve any of their issues. Below I have three charts showing signs of cracking, and once they clear critical support levels, should see the bottom fall out from underneath them. All three are swing

  • The S&P is on the cusp of breaking out of that blasted triangle, and once it does, the move down in the market should be somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophesy as everyone and their mom seems to be watching it. Whether we break it (and yes we could bounce here still) is anyone’s guess, but

  • Here’s one of your more traditional “Security-Analysis” stock screens where I am essentially looking for companies selling well below their book value. The stocks below represent 14 companies that are trading at less than half its book value.

  • This is a chart that I don’t often publish, but I found it interesteing just how steep and extreme it is.  The T2108 is a Worden specific chart that shows the number of stcks trading above the 40-day moving average. Only twice have we seen moves in the market that were more extreme than what
