Intermarket Day is one of my favorite days. Yes I'm a huge nerd. Deal with it!
This is when I go through many markets relative to each other. These markets include individual U.S. Sectors compared with the overall U.S. Stock market. We also ...
Today is the 7th anniversary of the S&P500 closing low in March 2009. This date, March 9th, has gone down as the historic low in the stock market after the financial crisis of 2008. But the truth is that the market of stocks bottomed out well...

Changes in trend rarely get cleaner and as well-defined as the distribution taking place in the semiconductor space. The infamous head and shoulders topping pattern is as clear as day in this one. Today we're looking at the Philadelphia Semiconductor...
With all of the bad news and negative sentiment surrounding the high yield bond market, I think this is a place where we want to be buyers, and no longer sellers. High yield bonds are just a fancy way to refer to "Junk bonds". At the end of the day,...
