Give me more stimulus! I truly hate what has unfolded in my homeland over the past month or so. I am really saddened by it all. No longer is there an expectation that companies can fail due to bad management or decisions. Instead we bail them out. That sickens me. No longer do we simply

Oil Is Setting the Market on Fire! The S&P 500 is seeing some of its heaviest selling in weeks. The 11:30 eastern turn came and went with no pop at all. But don’t discount the bulls just yet. They have spent years figuring out new ways on how to rally the market into the close.

Another day, another rally, what else could you possibly expect.  Okay, maybe I am jumping the gun here a little bit, because the S&P 500 and Dow are in the red, but who cares, because with the Nasdaq trading higher right now, and the Russell 2000 extending its rally from Friday another 1/2 percent, what’s

No volume = No Sell-off The volume is the biggest issue for the market right now. It isn’t because there is this incredible euphoria taking place with the bulls and that as a result is just overwhelming the sellers, instead it is because there is no volume at all, and when that happens, the market

No doubt

Despite horrible economic news, the market has held its recent gains.  If you wondered what it looks like to climb the “Wall of Worry”, the stock market is doing exactly that right now, and doing an amazing job of it too.  Because the world is staying home to fight a pandemic, the economy is paralyze

A lot of people think a bottom is in, I’m doubtful of that.  I don’t trust this rally one bit and what is interesting is how closely it follows the narrative from October 2018. If that happens, we will ultimately chop around for some time, before eventually seeing the ultimate rug pull that takes the

The market has been in need of a rally like this for a very long time.  The question is whether it can actually hold such a rally into the next trading session, because it has failed, in glorious fashion, to do so since February 11th. Follow through to the upside would work wonders for the

Swing Trading Strategy: The Fed just can’t seem to help matters… Yesterday’s Swing-Trading Outlook, I mentioned about the Fed’s actions that “It may help the stock market today, but my biggest concern is how we’ve seen some pretty bold moves made by the Fed of late, and the price bump ultimately all fall apart before
