I received a ton of great responses via Twitter and email for this week’s Mystery Chart, so thank you for that.
A lot of you were leaning toward the long side, with different approaches and stops. Some were neutral, but none of you were getting short.

A few weeks ago I wrote about Shippers, Casinos, and some Construction/HomeBuilding Related stocks being some of the weakest areas of the market. About the message the market would be sending if those stocks couldn’t see downside follow-through after breaking down.
So let’s check in on those “shitty” stocks.

This week we have a special guest on the podcast: Eddy Elfenbein of Crossing Wall Street and PM for the $CWS Exchange Traded Fund.

As many of you know, these two are near and dear to my heart so it’s cool to see the Fundamental community embracing them in similar ways. This was a fun conversation! [Read more…]

New Mystery Chart!
For those new to the exercise, we take a chart of interest and eliminate the x and y-axes and and all labels eliminated to minimize bias. The chart can be any security in any asset class on any timeframe on an absolute or relative basis. It can even be inverted or a custom index.

As long as Mr. Market wants to keep grinding volatility premiums in options lower, we’d be foolish not to be buyers of long calls with expirations 4-6 months out in individual names that are showing signs of upward momentum. Who are we to argue with Mr. Market?
The next candidate on our list hails from the telecom space. [Read more…]
