We’re tracking a household name that — with the exception of four wild days during the Christmas nadir — has been riding it’s 200-day moving average quietly higher and is setting up for what could be a big move. [Read more…]
The Perfectionism Crutch
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
Two weeks ago I was scheduled to film two segments for Real Vision and the experience brought up a good topic that I’ve been meaning to write about using my personal experience; Perfectionism.
The night before I was supposed to film the segments I didn’t get much sleep, hadn’t exercised in a few days, and just wasn’t feeling 100%. Needless to say, these were not the conditions I’d prefer for important filming.*
Regardless, I’d agreed to do it and I needed to show up and do the work.
Now that I’ve had time to reflect, let’s see what perfectionism, failure, and fear of “shipping” have got to do with that experience.
India Outperformance Reaccelerates
India’s recent rally has reaccelerated its trend of outperformance relative to the rest of the Emerging Market space.
In this post, I want to outline two charts we use to track this trend and another that helps explain why it’s happening.
[Options Premium] Long Play Short Leash
When you’re bullish on a name and options prices — in terms of volatility — are the cheapest they’ve been all year, the prudent move is often the simplest move: buy longer-dated calls. And the decision is even simpler when you have a clearly defined level to show you where the trade idea is busted. [Read more…]
Cash Works If You Let It
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
One of the hardest things to do in life and in markets is admitting you don’t know. But when you’re only in the market to make money, and not to be right, saying I don’t know can often be the best answer.
That’s why I put out a post titled “Relatively…Confused” just two days ago because when I go through my chartbooks I see extended themes that are not offering great reward/risk opportunities right now.
The Trends We Indirectly Follow
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
There are trends people tend to pick up on indirectly, usually by looking at individual stock charts or ETFs on an absolute basis, seeing the relative strength/weakness, and connecting the dots.
See something in one chart; it may not be all that special. See it in a lot of charts from the same area of the market…you’re usually onto something.
That’s the indirect way, but if we look at a trend directly, we can get a better feel for the exact strength of that underlying trend/theme.
In this post, I want to highlight a few trends that I know people are aware of, but may not realize their severity.
[Premium] Making Cents Out Of US Dollars
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
The US Dollar has frustrated the majority of market participants this year, particularly if they’re only looking at the US Dollar Index.
With that said, we’ve been focused on other US Dollar pairs that aren’t getting much attention but are trending well and providing us with plenty of opportunities.
[Options Premium] Riding the Diagonal Track
In a recent report, the All Star Charts team highlighted some mixed signals and the lack of trend in many areas of the stock market right now. These are often frustrating situations for straight stocks players. Luckily for us options traders, we can craft strategies that best suit any market environment we may be in. For today’s play, we’re going to get a little creative, mixing a credit spread with a calendar spread to establish a unique risk profile in a name that we’re cautiously bullish on. [Read more…]
