FEEDPreface to all four parts: In the face of a brutal, brutal bull run over the past ten years, the past twelve months, and the past nine weeks, a lot of otherwise good shorts have been obliterated. I have a stable of 40 surviving shorts, which I am sharing this weekend in four equal parts. [Read More...]
Remark-Able
FEEDIt hasn’t exactly been a newsworthy, awe-inspiring day, so I went through my fifty ETF charts and plucked out eight I thought were worthy of a few words. So here we go (click on any for big version): [Read More...]
Miners Firm Up
FEEDIt looks like the precious metals miners have a good shot at success. Look at what has happened to the triple-bearish fund DUST. It had been shaping up to be a potential bullish breakout, but a few days ago, it cut below its ascending trendline. On top of that, it’s got a bearish engulfing patternRead More 0 Comments [Read More...]
Vol Matrix Tweaks
FEEDRegarding the new Volatility Matrix page, I received absolutely no bug reports or improvement suggestions, so it seems that it is already perfect (!) Anyway, we have made a few cosmetic tweaks, including the addition of some social sharing buttons. Give it a try. [Read More...]
Beating Cramer’s Meat
FEEDHas Jim Cramer ever given a good recommendation? I’m just curious. Anyway, I just stumbled across this from last June: Since Cramer is probably the best-known, most famous stock market idea guy on the planet, let’s check in on those “two cheers”, shall we?

FEEDI stumbled upon this totally by chance, and it’s mesmerizing. These men didn’t know their conversation was being recorded (it isn’t clear who was doing the bugging), but it is riveting, particularly considering how high the stakes were. The mutual respect is also inspirational. [Read More...]
A Dozen to Ponder
FEEDI’ve got a clean 60 short positions in my portfolio now, and – – should science fiction strike and the market actually go down more than a single day – – I’ve got a dozen more on my radar. Here they are, and click any one to get a huge version of the chart. [Read More...]

Marseilles Musings
FEEDHello from the “Bring Me My Coffee” shop at the Vieux Port in Marseilles. I have spent the entire week in the south of France, and having never been here, have some fresh impressions to share.

Gartman: the final fade
FEEDI was intrigued – – but not the least bit surprised – – to see this headline: While Dennis claims that he’s throwing in the towel in order to work on his golf game, I strongly suspect the true reason is that these markets have become untradeable, except for the buy-AAPL-and-hold-forever technique, funded wholly byRead More 0 Comments [Read More...]

Cereal Killer

Sickly Unicorns
FEED(Note: I did this post Sunday night on the plane, so it’s a little out of date, but the point still holds). The withering continues.
