Morning Market Briefing – Friday- 08/30/2013

Yesterday, the market was shocked and owed with unexpected good news. The second quarter GDP was revised up to 2.5% from 1.7%. At first, it seemed that good news was bad news. The US market began at the lows. However, once the news was out that the good news (GDP growth) was in fact not so good; the market climbed most of the day on weak volume. In the afternoon, a late day reversal canceled much of the days gain. […]

Morning Market Briefing – Thursday- 08/29/2013

On Wednesday day, the market realizing that there is nowhere else to invest went back to risk on mode. Throughout the session, cautious broad-based market melt up continued. Much of the issues causing the Tuesday panic did not materialize (as expected). World War III with Syria was downgraded to tomahawk missile-ing airfields and turning Syria into a no fly zone. The market appears ready to sell off, but as predicted it didn’t. The whales wanted a sell off (P/E ratios are relatively high), but they didn’t get one. With rates this low, real state so overvalued and forever emerging markets currencies devaluing, US equity markets still overs the best potential return. Today, futures are pointing again to a slightly green open. The market is back in wait and see mode. Its waiting for bad news to happen so we can sell off, which would cause rates to remain low and risk on back in play. […]

Morning Market Briefing – Wednesday – 08/28/2013

Yesterday’s market blood bath was relentless. Throughout the session, broad-based selling resulted in the major averages settling on their lows for the day. The market makers prayers to the war god were finally answered. They needed something, anything to create enough fear to increase the trade volume. Nothing hurts Wall Street profits more than stagnant, unsure, timid, low-volume markets. The probability of U.S. military involvement in Syria was the jolt required to move the market. […]

Morning Market Briefing – Tuesday – 08/27/2013

This morning, stock futures are all indicating weaker opening across all sectors. In Europe, the markets are also taking a hit. Kerry’s comments appear to be the big story and the media has declared that a strike on Syrian can be days away. We at Alphas Edge just wonder if the robot traders will interpret the dead and destruction as bullish for the markets. […]

Time to buy some POTASH STOCKS!

The dust has now settled, and the situation is becoming clearer. Everyone that wanted out is out, everyone that was shaky is out, and everyone who was bullish panic-sold out. The sellers have left the building and big money has stepped to build a new floor on the stock price. Perfect time to buy, catch a little retracement and get out before the verdict is out whether or not the floor was set too low or too high. But do we really want out now that I’m in? Oh hell no! After extensive analysis these last few days, it was discovered that one of those 3 stocks is a gem. When analyzing IPI (Intrepid Potash Inc.), we accidently stumbled into those stock opportunities that just make you giggle. First off, we could only find ONE reason to sell IPI, and that was Uralkali released information (which is old information and definitely priced in). However, we found many reasons why IPI is a short, medium and long term opportunity. The charts are all bullish. The MACD, MFI, ROC, RSI, slow stochastic, fast stochastic, volume, and Vol+MA all indicated bullishness. As a conservative investor, who is wrong 1 out of 100 trades, charts alone aren’t a good enough reason for us to buy. You see, at Alphas Edge, there are stringent rules and guidelines that greatly improve the odds of making money, and we follow them. So we started to research with the goal of quantifying the future for Intrepid Potash and what we found pleased us. They have a few large scale projects that are expected to greatly increase production and at the same time reduce production cost. That smells like money to us. But don’t take our word for it, do you own research. […]

Morning Market Briefing – Monday – 08/26/2013

Different week, same story, as the market hangs on to slight weekly gains you would almost think it’s a bull market again. But internally, something has changed with the market. The market climbed higher on low volume and sold off on high volume (when not halted or broken). […]

Is Current US Society Doomed?

Ayn Rand once wrote, “Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors–when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you–when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice–you may know that your society is doomed.” […]

Morning Market Briefing – Friday – 08/23/2013

You can always count on Thursdays for market glitches and fat fingers. I remember when on Thursday May 6, 2010, the DOW dropped 1,000 points. Everyone was quick to identify the problem; a huge bearish E-mini bet caused all markets to go into sell mode. The selling kept escalating to a point that no robots were buying, only selling. While traders (smarter than robots) attempting to buy ridiculously priced stocks were having orders reversed, canceled, or simply neglected. Personally, I don’t think it was an accident. Ironically, those crazy days are the days that make me feel sane. Can only be because I love the game, I love the challenge, and I’m ridiculously good at it. […]
