Saylor is Due for Rough Seas

The broad market continues to sleepwalk sideways-to-higher on a daily basis as we zoom towards the holiday season. Tomorrow is one of the most traveled days of the years (apparently the busiest day of travel each year is the Sunday after Thanksgiving), but we do have a deluge of data tomorrow morning which could move markets.  That said, the...

Beset By Bessent, And Other Political Trades

I have traded through enough presidential cycles to know that it is not just Trump, and it is not just Republicans--Every single new administration is full of guesswork on Wall Street as to the next "hot trade" based on the incoming President.  However, more often than not those trades wind up being short-lived, whether it be Obama and clean...

A Market So High it Ignores the Lowe's

The market still seems to be of the mind to rally the narrow pocket of growth stocks into NVDA's earnings tomorrow evening, with the likes of MSTR PLTR SMCI and the aforementioned NVDA all snapping back today.  As usual, this market is also ignoring the likes of Lowe's reporting a year over year drop in earnings, with do-it-yourself demand for...

And Just Like That, SMCI is (Not) Fixed

The headlines today about SMCI read, "Super Micro Stock Jumps As Data Center Firm Preps Plan To Avoid Delisting" (courtesy of Investor's Business Daily ). The stock is up more than 20% as I write this.  Bulls may want to think long and hard on that one--A massive relief rally in a mere plan to avoid a delisting for a stock in the hottest...
