Momentum Book Update

I’m gonna keep this pretty short and just hit the major points.  I sold a lot of stock on Monday bringing my cash levels to over 60%.  This run has been quite amazing and large momentum moves often end with a bang.  Fundamental news often matches up with technicals at tops and bottoms, both intermediate [ READ MORE ]

It’s amazing, the inability of sellers to keep the market down into the close.  One of the main indicators I’ve been watching throughout this rally is the ability for sellers to close the market on the lows, and continue the selling into the next session.  It should be pretty obvious that this hasn’t taken place [ READ MORE ]

Dude, where’s my volatility… The market took the express train past the rally highs this week and provided yet another round of excellent swing trading to the long side.  While everyone was buying puts and inverse ETFs to protect profits from an organized pullback, the market marched higher, stopping them out one after another.  Are [ READ MORE ]

I’ve been rather lazy about giving short market updates lately, I’ve got a ton of other stuff going on so the videos at night have been better for my schedule.  As well, you haven’t seen any charts here, mostly because they are all on Chart.ly, make sure to be checking in there on a daily basis [ READ MORE ]

The market is one again trading above rising 20 and 50 day moving averages, a huge feat.  I had expected serious resistance up around the 20 day moving average which we blew through in short order.  Consolidation of this move is still warranted as we are in overbought territory short term.  The $SPY stochastics are reading [ READ MORE ]

It was a frustrating week for the bears.  Several times it seemed as if all it would take to tip us over the edge was a hand full of sell programs.  After the major hammer from last Friday it seems that the bears have run out of ammo for now.  On the swing time frames, [ READ MORE ]

Wow, if Friday didn’t get your heart racing then you shouldn’t be a trader, that was a lot of fun.  We may have seen an intermediate term bottom put in yesterday as the big boys bought materials in size going into the close.  Let’s start with Monday though when it seemed we may have escaped [ READ MORE ]

Another week of schellacking for long only strategies.  The market took a bath this week, led by materials and tech, which until Thursday morning made up about 2/3 of my portfolio.  I was playing buy the dip, it obviously didn’t work.  My cash position at the open on Thursday was south of 5%, I loaded [ READ MORE ]

Oyyy, it was a tough week for long only strategies any way you cut it.  The market trapped the chasers with three major distribution days and then puked for two straight.  I made a calculated decision to lower my beta early in the week but didn’t significantly raise my cash level.  I still see many [ READ MORE ]

An interesting week it was indeed.  We came in on Monday to see the market ripping, it was frothy, and everyone knew it.  Problem was that few were willing to sell into the strength, myself included, for fear of missing out on a melt up move.  I hung on, took some pain, and added a [ READ MORE ]
