Squawk Morning Briefing: Reaction to BLS on Our Minds
We tend to repeat ourselves when approaching important news events: It’s the reaction to the news that matters. In the case of the equity markets, the declines this week have not yet tipped their hand as to whether the decline is coming down in an impulsive manner. A swift decline could create the impulsive move […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Overshadowed News
The week of the BLS report typically is full of economic news, and this week is no exception. Nevertheless, it seems that excitement over moves in Silver has taken center stage. Don’t forget that we have this important report tomorrow. The reaction to it may set the stage for the next move in equities.
Squawk Morning Briefing: The Awesome Power of Consensus
Consensus can be a powerful tool. A group that finds itself in agreement can be very successful. But consensus for its own sake can be an equally impressive destructive force. We mention this because we are presenting an analysis that suggests that the top may be in for equities and another that suggests it isn’t. […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Don’t Miss the Move
There is more than one way to miss a move. Certainly being late is one way, but so is being consistently early.

Squawk Morning Briefing: Will it Last?
markets will continue to do what they want, and for the past few days that has been to move up. While the conditions have been ripe for a turn down, nothing has caused traders to seize that potential. A down move will come eventually and the wave structure of that move will likely tell us […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Markets’ Untapped Potential
Many of the charts we watch look like they have nearly complete wave structures. That creates the potential for a change in trend. From a market behavior standpoint this means that we could explain a change in trend from these levels if it were to occur. That is, a disruption that starts sending markets down […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: A Question of Answers
In Letters to a Young Poet Ranier Maria Rilke wrote, “Learn to love the questions themselves.” The implication we take from that quote is that there is beauty to be found in the uncertainty all around us. We should take some time and bask in glorious complexity of the things we don’t understand. Of course, […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: The Boy who Cried “Sheep”
We have been discussing for awhile the likelihood of a lasting top being formed. However, only price action can confirm a top is in place. So while we discuss the possibility, we need to wait to see when/if it is realized. Otherwise it would be crying wolf.
Contributing our view is the overwhelming sense of complacency […]
