We opened up on the indices, and they came back down to fill their respective gaps.

We trended higher the rest of the day,...

Where is the defensive rotation?

I was told US Stocks were in a bear market.

For those keeping score at home, the NYSE new lows...

The SPX futures popped above 3,800 last night and then retreated.

Now we seem to be climbing back to that area. This 3,800 area will have some resistance, then 3,827.

It’s a new week, but the same insiders are still buying.

Form 4 filings for the wood pellet producer Enviva $EVA have been hitting the wire nonstop this month.

Why are you an investor?

Have you asked yourself that recently?

Why do you take time out of your life to enter into the arena...

I'm old enough to remember when stocks would go up for multiple weeks at a time.

They used to call those uptrends where I'm from.

Wednesday night we held our October Mid-Month Conference Call, which Premium Members can access and rewatch here.

Stick save, as they like to say, "and a beauty," as J.C. would add.

We saw a bearish reversal yesterday afternoon in the indices.

For today, I'm watching to see if the SPX can hold 3,638, then 3600. We'd need to get back above 3,689, then 3,700, to head back...

I interrupt this bear market to bring you stocks that are going up.

While people are crying about their stocks going down, we're focused on the winners.

That was a fun day in the live trading room. J.C. joined us, and it was fantastic!!

Now, on to the markets folks.

One of the things that continues to really stand out to me is the relentless outperformance in Energy stocks, even in the midst of a major correction in Crude Oil.

The bond market is the biggest and baddest market of them all.

All these crypto currencies can go to zero and no one who matters will care.

The SPX futures are back above 3,700. That's a level I'd like to see maintained.

And I'd prefer SPX above 3712.

The largest insider transaction on today’s list is a Form 4 filing by the senior vice-president of Dave & Buster's Entertainment $PLAY.

This is the fourth Form 4 filing reported for Dave & Buster’s since last week.

Today was more of a consolidation day for the market. I'd prefer that the SPX hangs onto 3,669, which it did (and hopefully does in...
