General Mayhem
Wow, here’s one that really got away. I was waiting for the gap to close (arrow), but I got cute and decided to keep waiting. Opportunity is gone, now! The auto tariffs have blown up the stock. Congratulations to anyone who benefited from this slump. I missed it!

The Latest Rug Pull
Oil and Gas ETF
In recent days, one particular point of frustration for me has been XOP, the oil and gas producers fund, which lurched higher on a daily basis for weeks. I am confident, however, that this rally has ceased, and I am amping up my bearish position on XOP as well as the individual stock COP.
Take a look at the relationship between the price of XOP and its trio of exponential moving averages (50/100/200). I’d say the risk/reward on a bearish trade is appealing right here.
