2026-05-04
Collapsing breadth. Stretched positioning. The worst seasonal window of the year. The worst year of the political cycle. And a war that won’t end. Market correction risk is stacking up. The S&P 500 hit a fresh record high last week. The median stock in the index is sitting 13% below its 52-week peak. That divergence is …
4-29-26 Oil Doesn’t Peak When The Strait Reopens — It Peaks Before $SPX $USO
2026-04-29
Commodity markets are forward-looking. Traders don’t wait for events to happen—they price in expectations early. So if the market believes reopening is coming, prices top out in advance.

3-13-26 Why Every Rally Is Getting Sold In This Market
2026-03-13

$SPX is beginning to lose momentum after months of steady gains, shifting from higher highs to lower highs.
A key factor is the presence of “trapped longs”—investors who bought the dip expecting another V-shaped recovery and are now selling into strength to exit positions.
That selling pressure is capping upside moves while key levels like the 100-day moving average are turning into resistance.
The next major level to watch is the 200-day moving average.

The South Park Market Of 2026
2026-01-23
I have been a “South Park” fan for as long as I can remember, and while the show isn’t a market guidebook, its brutal satire cuts through nonsense better than many Wall Street commentaries. Just like on the show, characters make absurd decisions and face absurd consequences, which is familiar to investors today. For example, …
