Keeping one's mouth shut is a great virtue, as in Don't tell anyone else about it—silence is golden. Although this precise phrase was first recorded in 1848, it is part of a much older proverb, "Speech is silver and silence is golden." Elon Musk went on a live webcast last night and smoked weed, drank whiskey and
fired up his flamethrower and he said "running a car company is hard." No kidding! Where is the board of directors to tell him to shut up and execute? Do they realize every time he opens his mouth or Tweets, he's causing a liability for the company? The other notable news today is the Chief Accounting Officer resigned after being on the job for 1 month. There have been several high ranking finance people leaving in the past six months. The company needs capital, has some large debts due soon, and their bonds are currently trading at 83 cents on the dollar. This is just one of the many issues facing Tesla besides looming competition, production issues, and SEC/shareholder lawsuits. I'm short Tesla and I am not covering.
The US markets are starting to make a small turn lower while the European markets continue a steep decline making multi month lows. I feel Europe caught the contagion from Emerging Markets and soon it could spread to the
US. Some market leading stocks like Amazon and Google are now well off highs. Energy stocks look weaker and banks continue sideways to slightly down. Three are pockets of strength in rails and some retailers and even a few in tech that look decent. (FEYE is one I like in tech). Now is not the time to be adding more on the long side and my call has been to raise some cash, tighten stops, and to look for hedging opportunities.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm still deep into our new website design and hope to have it launched next week. Thank you for all the support as we couldn't do it without you.

DEMARK SCREENS - Daily, Weekly, Monthly Upside/Downside Exhaustion Signals
|
|
|
Daily/Weekly DeMark upside/downside exhaustion signals (Sequential) weekly updated on Monday's and monthly on the first day of the new month. Price flips occur when a stock closes higher/lower than four previous closes and increases conviction of a price turn.
The upside 13's are sell signals and downside 13's are buy signals. Price flip's are confirmation signals that increases potential for a price trend change. For example, if you are long a stock and there is an upside 13, you will want to take cautious action by selling down or out of a position. If initiating a short sale with the upside 13's, we tend to start with a 1/2 size and add with the downside price flip. The opposite is true for when there are downside 13's. Take a 1/2 size position
and add with the upside price flip. The DeMark Indicators are designed to assist the user with buying into weakness and selling into strength to anticipate trend exhaustion. Selling into a rally and buying into a decline often afford the opportunity to exit a trade without too serious a loss if wrong.
