I’ve been publishing The Wall Street Examiner and its predecessor since October 2000. I also publish LiquidityTrader.com, and was lead analyst for Sure Money Investor, of blessed memory. I developed David Stockman’s Contra Corner for Mr. Stockman. I’ve had a wide variety of finance related jobs since 1972, including a stint on Wall Street in both sales, analytical, and trading capacities. Prior to starting the Wall Street Examiner I was a commercial real estate appraiser in Florida for 15 years. I was considered an expert in the analysis of failed properties that ended up in the hands of bank REO divisions, the FDIC, and the RTC. Remember those guys? I also worked in the residential mortgage and real estate businesses in parts of the 1970s and 80s. I have been charting stocks and markets and doing analytical work since I was a teenager. I’m not some Ivory Tower academic, Wall Street guy. My perspective comes from having my boots on the ground and in the trenches, as a real estate broker, mortgage broker, trader, account rep, and analyst. I’ve watched most of the games these Wall Street wiseguys play from right up close. I know the drill from my 55 years of paying attention. And I’m happy to share that experience with you, right here.

Chart Picks – Tons of Fake Signals Are Mostly Noise

Yet again, whenever I pick a few shorts to add to the list, the market smacks me upside the head. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. It’s like our permabear friends, whose names I’ll withhold out of respect for the dead, who have been warning for 12 years that the market is about to crash. They will be right one day. Well, every few months I’ll see a few short picks that I like and add them to the list. We’ll probably keep losing money on them, but one day, I’ll be right. You’ll see! 😆

Plunging Neckline

It has been all downhill since I noticed the double top yesterday. Dramatic turn of events. But the ES S&P futilitures had reached their upper measured move target from the reverse head and shoulders breakout, of 4350. At that point, the trading algos all decide that they’d go no further, triggering their Sell Mortimer algos.

Now we’re at the point at 4 AM in NY that the price could drop back below the upper line of the big megaphone pattern.

Hot as Brat – 7/6/21

Lee Adler

Welcome back! I hope you had a great holiday. I had a traditional one, walking around Ljubljana, Slovenia, taking photos. Then yesterday, I got on a bus to Bratislava, and boy is it hot here. Today they’re predicting a high of 93, tomorrow, 94, and Thu…
