TG Watkins Every time I talk about leveraged ETFs, someone tells me they decay. That’s not quite right. They don’t decay like an option does. What actually hurts them is leveraged ETF slippage, and it shows up on the way up and on the way down. These funds reset every day. They use derivatives, options and futures … Read more
The market has been looking stronger since mid last week, and if you caught my last two weekend videos, you saw me pointing at bottoming patterns before it started to move. On Monday, Amazon finally joined in. After a long pullback, it printed a green Moxie price trigger, with positive divergence on the Moxie Indicator … Read more

The Moxie price signal arrows you have been reading for years are still there, and sitting next to them now is a second signal that used to live only in my head: the trampoline trigger, printed right on your chart.

What happens when a trade setup looks great, then completely falls apart? I am following up on five agricultural and commodity stocks I highlighted a few months ago and would like to see where they stand today.
