I am thinking it is revealing itself because many are using it. Here is the trick and it is really apparent in pre-hours or after-hours. Find an...

Today I noticed something interesting going on. I noticed how there were buyers, but they were overwhelmed. And that got me to thinking. Who on earth would sell now? Seriously let's think about this a bit. If you are in deep do-do with your portfolio would you sell? Probably not. Are there...

I read this article and it said, "oh there is a descending triangle forming and that spells bad news. Really? It does? Why? Because analysts say so? > "We know only that 'triangles' such as this one tend to resolve themselves to the downside,'' writes Dennis Gartman this morning in The Gartman...
