Opportunity in the Chaos What a week. Last week I laid out some of our knowns and unknowns heading into the storm. The 4th known was… Capitulation rallies can be fast and brutal. And guess what? This one was no different. Wednesday brought one of the...

Why I Follow Price Weeks like this are a great reminder of why I got into technical analysis in the first place. In 2019, I was early in my public accounting career, a freshly minted CPA, knee-deep in Excel and financial statements. I studied DCF, margin...

March Sadness Confession. I’m a perma-optimist by nature. I love when the market goes up.I love seeing people succeed.And the reality is: when we’re in an uptrend, that tends to happen a lot more often. So yeah, I root for the market to go up. Now, I get...

The S&P 500 HATES Rotation The S&P 500 is not what most people think. Ask a random person on the street: “What’s the S&P 500?” Most common answer I get: “It’s a stock index made up of America’s 500 largest companies.” Fair. I don’t expect...

The Truth Hurts Another down week in the market. Risk management remains the priority. I admit—it can be lame. It’s much easier to run some all-time high scans and post those charts. If only it were that easy. My work starts with the market environment...

It’s About Respect I spent the week away from the markets in Mexico. The food and weather are hard to beat, but my favorite part?Stepping away from the chaos of the markets and getting a chance to reflect. Silence and solitude are rare in everyday...

See a little…see a lot. During practice, my football coach used to repeat a mantra: “See a little, see a lot, see a lot, see nothing.” He point was to focus on the details during practice and master them. In a game, it gets loud and chaotic. When you try...

Boy Scout 101 A fire needs three elements to sustain itself. Known to the Boy Scouts out there as the “fire triangle.” Heat, fuel, and oxygen. The stock market isn’t much different. Heat – That’s trend. And the S&P 500? It’s in a long-term...

SLAP CHOP Let’s be real. No one misses cable TV. But if there’s one thing I do miss, it’s the infomercials. Billy Mays had the football uniforms spotless.Tony Horton had the whole house shredded with P-90X by summer. And lately, the S&P 500 seems to...
