While you watched Greenland headlines, SPX did exactly what I said it would

Let's get something straight here. I spent the entire weekend talking about one thing: 6835 on the SPX. That was the level. That was where things would get interesting if we broke through it. And you know what happened this morning when all hell broke loose with the Greenland nonsense? We hit 6835 (

Three Stocks Just Flashed The Same Warning Signal

Three stocks just flashed the SAME warning signal. Costco. Emerging Markets. Broadcom. And I'm betting real money they're about to reverse. Here's what Wall Street doesn't want you to see...

Why This Market is More Fragile Than It Looks

Google is up 2% right now while the broader market bleeds. That's not strength - it's a warning sign. This morning I watched something unfold that every trader needs to understand.

Retail Is King of the Hill

The futures were unchanged this morning. Know what happened at cash open? The NASDAQ ripped higher the second retail could start buying calls. I've been in this business long enough to remember when S P futures actually told you something about the trading session ahead. Not anymore. Overnight trade

Welcome to the People's Republic of NVIDIA

You probably saw the headlines: "Dow rallies 600 points as investors see little market risk from Venezuela action." Chevron surged 4%, energy stocks celebrated, and everyone's talking about rebuilding opportunities. Look, let me put this in perspective for you. ExxonMobil - the biggest energy player

Overnight Futures Just Became Useless

What the hell happened this morning? I'm sitting here a couple hours into 2026, and I just watched something I haven't seen in years. The overnight futures were screaming - up huge, decent volume, everything pointing to a strong open. Then retail walked in at 9:30 and said "nope." Wiped out 10 handl
