I like this song, by The Tallest Man on Earth ... Matsson a Swede, of course:
Biotech Index and Apple Should Both Rally From Here
I'm seeing a lot of buy set-ups on the weekly charts ... among the 20 or so that I've spotted, I'll only feature the ones that I think hold the most popular interest: Biotech (represented by the XBI) and Apple (AAPL).
Risk-reward in the XBI is around six times off the weekly, but day traders should be able to reduce their initial risk very quickly once in the position.

Apple's pattern is a bit more complicated and the minimum expected risk-reward (at the $120 target) isn't great off the weekly low, but if it got back to $140, that would be nice.
If both of these set-ups fail, then you'll know we're in for a "bear market" and you should adjust your expectations accordingly.

National Geographic prize-winning teen Hong Kong photographer’s stunning journey to success
Wonder how much he monkeyed with this one in Photoshop, but it's a neat shot:

No good live version of Sam Phillips singing "If I Could Write" on YouTube, so I'm forced to embed this. Discovered via Spotify's algo. I dig it.

Syma Helicopters A Joy
My boy recently turned 11 and I got him this little Syma helicopter as a gift. It's such a joy to fly that we fight over it, and Dad has had to order one of his own now (well, a larger model, the S032). It's super stable, charges using a USB cable, has a flight time of around six to eight minutes, and is beautifully constructed. A steal at $20!
Better Grab The Best Of Your Life
Found via Spotify's Weekly Discover, Frazey Ford singing September Fields ... again, their algo is serving me stuff I like:
Shadow Cast Over First Solar
Flipping through the charts this long weekend, I also see that First Solar (FSLR) set up short. It has already triggered, but the minimum target is so far down there that you should still take a look at it.

Bad News for Gold Bugs
Despite the broad market sort of collapsing, gold isn't doing much. In fact, Barrick Gold (ABX) looks like a short to me for the third time in three years. Frayed-shirtcuff Elliott Wavers spotted a short set-up in February 2014, and again in May 2015. Now in January 2016, the voodoo is projecting a target price of $4ish. Ugly.
