What Is Wrong With Cash?

by

If there is one thing that has worked since October, it’s cash. I feel like people are afraid of that word. Like you’re doing something wrong for raising some (or a lot of) cash. Do you think it makes sense to always be fully invested? I don’t.

I look at everything through the lens of potential opportunity cost. What else could we be doing with that money? In liquid markets, sometimes it’s treasury bonds, other times it’s gold, and of course all of the market neutral pair trades and options strategies to profit from sideways markets.

Cash is an investment too. Why do you always have to be all in? You want to think 50 years out? Go ahead. We’re only concerned about the next couple of quarters. We’ll worry about next year, next year. And 50 years from now? I only hope to be around sipping wine and ripping through charts. We’ll see…

So about today. [Read more…]

From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting

My presentation at Chart Summit 2019 focused on market breadth and how we like to keep our process of looking at the subject pretty simple.

While that presentation covered a number of our methods of measuring the market’s internals, in this post I want to share some stats we pulled this weekend that help provide some valuable context around the market’s rally from the December 24th lows.

Fibonacci Analysis: A Conversation With Todd Gordon

by

One of the cool things about Chart Summit this year was that we were all surrounded by smart experienced market participants with unique styles and approaches to the market. When you have a collection of talent like this, I think it’s wise to pull them off to the side and pick their brains. In this conversation, I ask Todd Gordon about Fibonacci Analysis and why he uses it so frequently. Some people like to dismiss it, and that’s fine. If I didn’t think it helped, trust me, I wouldn’t use it. But it’s been helping me every day for well over a decade. I really enjoyed this chat with Todd and I’m thrilled that he was able to be a part of the first ever live Chart Summit in Breckenridge, CO. [Read more…]

Podcast: Chart Summit 2019 Review With JC & Sean

by

I can’t believe we pulled it off! Two weeks ago, I co-hosted my very first financial conference and it was an amazing success. I think it exceeded all of our expectations, including the hosts and the guests. I’ve never been to a conference that promoted getting outside and exercising and then matching that excitement with consistently incredible speakers who each added value in their own unique way. Now that we’ve had a chance to digest everything that happened, I sat down with our Chief Options Strategist, Sean McLaughlin, to discuss the event and some of the things that stood out the most. I hope you enjoy this quick rundown of our 2 day Technical Analysis Conference in Breckenridge, CO that we proudly call “Chart Summit”. [Read more…]

Shorting Casinos With My Homies

by

From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting

Throughout the week we’ve been raising some caution flags about the short-term direction of Equities (here, here, and here).

Now that we’re seeing some downside follow-through for the first time since December, I wanted to outline a few more potential short setups on an absolute and relative basis.
