Greetings and Happy Friday, As I mentioned in my trading room a bit ago, I am closing early today for a dentist appointment and then hitting the road for the weekend. I just published my thoughts on the case for higher yields this Q1 – the When, Where and Why. It’s timely given how low […]
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving break. I want to apologize for being quiet/inactive. My beloved pet, Moe, of 13 years is dying and it has taken my focus. I am flying one of my daughters home from Europe (they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving abroad so she wasn’t here last week to say goodbye). I will […]
My live trading room will be closed Friday. But my new Trailing Stop feature of my Brokerage-Triggered Trade Alerts will go live so I can get back to actively trading and running the room on Monday. Samantha
With an interest rate decision out at 2:00 PM EST and press conference at 2:30, the market will be dead until the Fed, so I am not having my usual 9AM open for my Trading Room, but will start at 1:30 PM and likely keep going until after AAPL reports at 4:30 ET. See ya […]
Eventful day, too, with NFP at 8:30 AM then US Trade Balance print and Powell speaks at some point. Yes we bounced strongly off that SPX 2875 level given Thursday, but the 200 day is now a magnet and that’s where I expect we will be sooner rather than later. Trade safe and talk to […]
Greetings and welcome to FOMC Day. Typically the market is sanguine leading up into the FOMC minutes and press conference, so I will close the trading room this morning and open up this afternoon in time to navigate the market reaction to the Fed rate decision and Powell’s response to questions on what went bump […]
It’s the Friday before Labor Day weekend and markets are rising on hope (and end of month rebalancing) into expected trade talks between Trump and Xi today – right before the long Labor Day weekend. Keep in mind Monday is Labor Day and markets are closed. Tariffs go into effect, or they don’t, September 1, […]
Markets, as of close today, had retraced the entire drop from Sunday night. It was not an easy bounce to play and I said I found the move to be more technical in nature than fundamental and as such hold it with suspicion. After the close, we got more Huawei news and Yuan currency moves […]
A new month brings NFP Friday and Trump has an announcement at 1:45ET on EU tariffs. I want to get my arms around market reaction and put on some new positions before my 11:00 call.
I will re-open my trading room 1:45ET in preparation for the FOMC minutes at 2 and 2:30 press conference. Housekeeping: I have also worked with Zeke to fix some of the recent issues that occurred with recent Trade Alerts: Bad Fills on Wide Bid-Ask Orders: Trend trade THC was up 61% when I went to […]
Good morning, Members. I’m having some technical issues this morning and need to seek some assistance. I will attempt to get the room up and running as soon as possible and will send an alert as soon as keyboard issue is fixed. Thank you for your patience and it’s good to be back!
Trading Room is Closed Wednesday – Friday June 19th, 20th and 21st Samantha is traveling to NYC for meetings, presentation at the Benzinga conference and sourcing apartment for her daughter doing an internship at an architectural firm this summer. She will be busy and away from her trading desk for the remainder of the week.
Other HIV drugs will also be tested...

6\ For example, one company is testing its HIV protease inhibitors, for new #coronavirus, which was designed to block HIV replication, and previously effective for SARS (Though SARS is only 79%🧬 related to this virus). Other HIV drugs will also be tested. https://t.co/OkPvukkA7g
The Fed isn't going to like it... but Powell will have some explaining to do tomorrow about the central bank's "not QE" program.
The noise around this question -- if "liquidity" via T-bill buying is driving stock markets -- has gotten too loud to ignore.

This new risk - #CoronaVirus - deserves a healthy measure of respect. Guilty until proven innocent kind of thing. Be safe out there.
