Ratios and Such

It has been a wild week thus far, here are some internals. Banks are back into a bullish position, goddamn whiplash got me. There was a new X made in my primary market indicator, which is a great sign for equities. Risks are still high, but if the dollar continues to fall, this should continue…


Market Movements

With the dollar going down faster than my H.S. prom date, let’s see where we stand. The emerging markets like Brazil and India are breaking downtrends and upper bollingers. LQD continues to rip north on large volume, but I’m getting out for larger returns in precious metals. While there are many gold miners, few are…


God Bless the King

I don’t wear cologne. No deodorant. That shit smells gross, girly, and is liable to give you cancer. Real women like the sent of my putrid sac, and if they don’t, they grin and bear it. Nevertheless, that doesn’t keep me from dreaming about a magically scented potion that would bring even the prudest of…


Interesting Indexes

Some markets are stronger than others. Here are 4 potential leaders. The international markets are performing better than domestic ones. The insurance sector has acted surprisingly resilient, Berkshire Hathaway anyone? Spend your grandchild’s future now, just don’t take away my drugs. Silver is looking sexy as it breaks above recent resistance. I’m buying the dip,…


State of the Market

The market continues to rally as the Fed lowers key lending rates. Rate cuts are having a negative effect on US bonds relative to foreign ones. Up volume significantly outweighed down volume, continuing the bullish theme. More stocks are trading above their 50dma on lower volatility. New highs are becoming more prevalent as this index…


Shipping Gold

With the bottoming of the BDI and a breakout in HUI/GOLD, here are two stocks to watch. There might be a quick short in AEM, but longer term, it’s looking like a market leader. DSX is getting extended, but buying the dip is an attractive proposition. The market is still in bad shape and exhibits…


Ratio Roundup

My indicator was down today, but not broken. One sector is in critical danger. The financial sector made a new O today, indicating an increasingly volatile and bearish environment. The buywrite/index ratio is rising (bearish), but it approaching a falling 10sma (bullish). This breakout in the HUI/GOLD is bullish for gold stocks, so I’m buying…


Monday Mutterings

I hope to God that the chart below is a misprint and not a premonition. If bonds make a move like that, this crisis is going to take a turn for the worst. Though we closed positive Friday, my indicator fell, suggesting a bearish divergence in an uptrend. Buy on the dip is still in…


A New Hope

The Baltic Dry Index has been falling for months, but that may be changing. If you look closely, the index has registered its first X since September. This is a good sign for the badly beaten shipping sector, as well as the global economy. For those unfamiliar with the BDI, it is a benchmark for…


The Pain Of Gluttony

Thursday evening, itching all over and writhing in pain, I prayed to the Twin Pink Goddesses Bismol and Benadryl. It was getting harder to breath as red and white splotches began to texture my skin, but there was nothing to be done. Note to self: don’t use the epipen for recreation, you just might need…
